2. Important Safety Information
- Probe Insertion: Always ensure the safety notch on the probe is completely covered by the meat to prevent damage from high temperatures. The food temperature sensor is rated for 0°C-100°C / 32°F-212°F, and the ceramic handle for 0°C-300°C / 32°F-572°F.
- Booster Charging: Boosters cannot be charged with fast chargers. Use only the provided Type-C cable or a standard 5V/1A charger.
- Water Resistance: The probe is IP67 waterproof and dishwasher safe. The main booster unit is not waterproof and should only be wiped clean with a towel.
- Ambient Temperature: The probe is designed to measure internal meat temperature only and cannot measure ambient temperature.
- Heat Exposure: Do not expose the probe's ceramic handle directly to open flames or extreme heat for prolonged periods beyond its rated temperature.
