That is the temperature you want between the felt.
On my original pouch, it took about 2 hours to get there and was stable. I leave it for about 2 hours for 180g vinyl and then I worked out it took about 2 hours to cool down to close to ambient.
The best thing is to program a timer to automatically switch off the pouch after your target time (which in my case is about 4 hours), then come back to it in say 3 hours to check.
The top platten is heavier than the bottom, so for best results - particularly with potato chip warps, I flip the record over and do a second cycle.
As I rely a lot on mail order, I get some pretty badly warped/dished discs due to the hot conditions en route and the VF totally fixes those discs. I treat flattening a disc as part of the cleaning process these days.
