- Hold Function: Press the "HOLD MAX MIN" button to hold the current temperature reading on the display. Press again to release. This button can also cycle through maximum and minimum recorded temperatures.
- Calibration: If you suspect the thermometer is not accurate, you can calibrate it using an ice bath. Fill a glass with crushed ice and cold water. Insert the 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. If it does not read 32°F (0°C), press and hold the "°C/°F CAL" button for 3 seconds until "CAL" appears, then release. The display should adjust to 32°F (0°C).
- Power Off: Fold the probe back into the body of the thermometer to automatically power off the device. It will also automatically shut off after 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: The thermometer has an IP67 waterproof rating. After each use, clean the probe and the body of the thermometer with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly under running tap water. Do not immerse the entire thermometer in water for extended periods, and it is not dishwasher safe.
