Operating Instructions

Thermometer Mode

1. Select Meat Type: Press the MEAT button to cycle through preset meat types (e.g., BEEF, POULTRY, FISH). Each selection has a default target temperature based on USDA doneness levels.
2. Select Doneness Level: After selecting a meat type, press the TASTE button to choose your desired doneness (e.g., RARE, MEDIUM, WELL DONE).
3. Set Custom Temperature (PROG): If you prefer to set a specific target temperature not covered by presets, select 'PROG' using the MEAT button. Then, use the ▲ HR and ▼ MIN buttons to adjust the target temperature.
4. Insert Probe: Insert the tip of the stainless steel probe into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone or gristle.
5. Monitor Temperature: The current internal temperature of the food will be displayed on the LCD. When the temperature reaches your set target, the alarm will sound, and the backlight will turn red.
6. Change Temperature Unit: Press the '°F/°C / ON/OFF' button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit display.

Timer Mode

LCD Display Features

The smart backlit LCD changes color to indicate temperature progression:

• Blue Backlight: Flashes when the temperature increases by 15°F (or 10°C).
• Green Backlight: Illuminates when the current temperature is within 15°F (or 10°C) of the set target temperature.
• Red Backlight & Alarm: Turns red and an audible alarm sounds when the current temperature reaches the set target temperature.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Probe: Always clean the stainless steel probe thoroughly after each use with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. Do not immerse the probe connector or cable in water.
• Cleaning the Unit: Wipe the thermometer unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water or place it in a dishwasher.
• Storage: Store the thermometer and probe in a dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the thermometer unit to extreme heat or cold, as this can damage electronic components.

Troubleshooting

No Display or Faint Display:

Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and if they need replacement. Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed.

Inaccurate Temperature Readings:

Ensure the probe is inserted into the thickest part of the food, avoiding bone or fat. Verify that the probe cable is fully plugged into the thermometer unit. If the probe is damaged, it may need replacement.

Probe Error Message (e.g., 'LLL' or 'HHH'):

This usually indicates a faulty probe or a temperature outside the measurable range. Try reconnecting the probe. If the error persists, the probe may be damaged and require replacement.

Alarm Not Sounding:

Ensure the volume is not set to mute (if applicable) and that the target temperature has been correctly set and reached.

User Tips

• For best accuracy, always insert the probe into the center of the thickest part of the meat, away from bones.
• When using in an oven or grill, ensure the thermometer unit itself is not exposed to direct heat or flames. The cable is heat-resistant, but the main unit is not.
• Utilize the timer function for precise cooking durations, especially for baking or deep frying.
• Take advantage of the preset meat temperatures for common dishes, but always verify doneness with a visual check or by cross-referencing with reliable cooking charts.
