Using the Lock Function
- Press the LOCK button to hold the current temperature reading on the display. This is useful when removing the thermometer from hot food or an oven to read the temperature safely.
- Press the LOCK button again to unlock the display and resume live temperature readings.
Using the Backlight
- Press the LIGHT button to activate the display backlight.
- The backlight will automatically turn off after a few seconds to conserve battery.
Temperature Unit Selection (°C/°F)
- On the back of the thermometer, locate the small button to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
Calibration
The TP19H features a calibration function to ensure long-term accuracy. If you suspect the thermometer is not reading accurately, you can recalibrate it using an ice-water bath.
- Prepare a large glass with crushed ice and fill it with water. Stir the mixture and let it sit for 3 minutes to ensure the water reaches 32°F (0°C).
- Insert the thermometer probe into the ice water, ensuring the tip is fully submerged but not touching the bottom or sides of the glass.
- Wait for the reading to stabilize. It should read 32°F (0°C).
- If the reading is not 32°F (0°C), press and hold the CAL button (usually located on the back or side, refer to specific button layout on device) for 3 seconds until the display flashes.
- Use the LOCK or LIGHT buttons to adjust the reading to 32°F (0°C).
- Press the CAL button again to confirm and save the calibration.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: The TP19H is IP65 waterproof. Clean the probe and thermometer body with a damp cloth or rinse under running water after each use. Do not submerge the entire unit in water for extended periods.
- Storage: Fold the probe back into the unit for safe storage. The magnetic back allows it to be stored on refrigerators or other metal surfaces. A hang hole is also provided for hooks.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AAA battery when the display dims or the unit fails to power on. Use the provided screwdriver for easy access to the battery compartment.
- Do Not:
- Place the thermometer in an oven, microwave, or on a hot surface.
- Leave the plastic body exposed to extreme heat.
- Submerge the entire unit in water for prolonged periods.
- Disassemble the unit beyond battery replacement.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermometer does not turn on. | Battery is dead or incorrectly installed. Probe is not fully extended. | Check battery polarity and replace if necessary. Ensure probe is fully extended to activate. |
| Inaccurate temperature readings. | Probe not inserted deep enough. Thermometer needs calibration. | Insert probe into the thickest part of the food. Perform calibration using an ice-water bath. |
| Display is dim or flickering. | Low battery. | Replace the AAA battery. |
| Display shows "LLL" or "HHH". | Temperature is outside the measurable range. | Ensure the temperature being measured is within the thermometer's operating range (-58°F to 572°F / -50°C to 300°C). |
