Maintenance

1. Cleaning

The stainless steel probe can be cleaned with warm soapy water. Wipe the main thermometer unit with a damp cloth. DO NOT immerse the main unit in water or place it in a dishwasher, as this can damage the electronic components.

2. Storage

Store the thermometer and probe in a dry place at room temperature when not in use. Ensure the probe tip protector is in place to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

1. Inaccurate Temperature Readings

• Ensure the probe is fully inserted into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones or gristle.
• Check that the probe cable is securely connected to the main unit.
• Verify that the probe cable is not damaged or frayed. A damaged probe may need replacement.
• Test the probe in boiling water (212°F / 100°C at sea level) or ice water (32°F / 0°C) to check its accuracy.

2. Display Not Working / No Power

• Check if the batteries are installed correctly with the correct polarity.
• Replace the batteries with fresh AAA batteries.
• Ensure the power button is pressed firmly.

3. Alarm Not Sounding

• Confirm that a target temperature has been set.
• Check if the unit's volume is not set to mute (if applicable, though this model typically has a fixed alarm sound).
