5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Inserting the Probe

Carefully insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, ensuring the tip avoids any bones. For accurate ambient temperature readings, ensure the probe's ambient sensor (located near the handle) is exposed to the cooking environment and not fully submerged in the food.

5.2 Monitoring Temperature

Once the probe is in place and the device is paired, open the ThermoPro BBQ App on your smartphone. The app will display real-time internal meat temperature and ambient cooking temperature. You can set custom temperature alarms and receive alerts when your desired doneness is reached.

5.3 Temperature Range

The ThermoPro TP960W is designed to measure temperatures up to 572°F (300°C). Exceeding this temperature may damage the probe.

6. Care and Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Probe: After each use, clean the probe thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry before storing. Do not immerse the entire probe in water; only the stainless steel portion is waterproof.
• Booster/Charging Case: Wipe the booster unit with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the booster in water or expose it to excessive moisture.

6.2 Storage

Store the probe within its booster/charging case in a dry place at room temperature when not in use. Ensure both components are clean and dry before storage to prevent damage.

7. Troubleshooting

No Bluetooth Connection:

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Verify the booster unit is powered on and within range (up to 500ft). Restart the app and the booster unit if necessary. Check if the probe is properly seated in the booster.

Inaccurate Temperature Readings:

Ensure the probe is inserted correctly into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone. Verify the ambient sensor is not covered. Check for any physical damage to the probe. Calibrate the thermometer if the app provides such an option (refer to app instructions).

Battery Not Charging:

Confirm the USB cable is securely connected to both the booster and a working power source. Ensure the probe is correctly inserted into the booster for charging. Try a different USB cable or power adapter.

App Not Responding:

Close and reopen the ThermoPro BBQ App. Ensure your smartphone's operating system is up to date. Reinstall the app if the issue persists.
