Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions

After each use, allow the probes to cool. Wipe the probes and the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water. The probes are not dishwasher safe. Ensure all components are dry before storage.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Pairing:

  Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device. Confirm the Grill Alert thermometer is powered on and within range (up to 150 feet). Restart both the app and the thermometer. Verify your smart device is Bluetooth 4.0 or Bluetooth Smart Ready compatible.
• Inaccurate Temperature Readings:

  Ensure the probe is inserted correctly into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones. Check that the probe cable is securely connected to the unit. Clean probes thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup affecting readings.
