Calibration

The ThermoPro TP605 comes pre-calibrated from the factory. However, if you believe the thermometer's accuracy has drifted over time, you can recalibrate it using an ice bath:

1. Fill a large glass with crushed ice and top it off with cold water. Stir well.
2. Insert the thermometer probe into the ice bath, ensuring the tip is fully submerged and not touching the bottom or sides of the glass.
3. Wait for the temperature reading to stabilize. It should read 32°F (0°C).
4. If the reading is not 32°F (0°C), press and hold the “CAL” button (if available, or refer to specific model instructions for calibration mode) until the display shows “CAL” or flashes 32°F (0°C).
5. The thermometer will automatically adjust to 32°F (0°C). Remove the probe from the ice bath once calibration is complete.

The thermometer is shown with its probe in a glass of ice water, illustrating its user calibration function to maintain accuracy over time.

Maintenance

Cleaning

The ThermoPro TP605 is IPX6 water-resistant and can be washed under running water. However, it is recommended to hand wash only. Do not submerge the entire thermometer in water or place it in a dishwasher.

• Wipe the stainless steel probe with a damp cloth or wash with mild soap and water after each use.
• Clean the body of the thermometer with a damp cloth.
• Dry thoroughly before storing.

Troubleshooting

• Display Not Turning On: Ensure the AAA battery is correctly installed with the proper polarity. If the battery is old, replace it with a new one.
• Inaccurate Readings: Perform a calibration using the ice bath method as described in the Calibration section. Ensure the probe is inserted deeply enough into the food and not touching bone or gristle.
• Slow Readings: Ensure the probe tip is fully inserted into the thickest part of the food. If the battery is low, replace it.
