2.2 App Download and Connection

1. Download the Ninja ProConnect App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. This device and its corresponding app are compatible for use in the US only.
2. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
3. Remove the thermometer probe from its charging case. The probe will automatically attempt to connect to the app.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts in the app to pair your thermometer.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Inserting the Probe

Insert the stainless steel probe into the thickest part of the food, avoiding bone. Ensure the probe is inserted deep enough so that the black ceramic tip is fully embedded in the food, and the metal shaft is exposed to the ambient cooking environment.

3.2 Using the Ninja ProConnect App

1. In the app, select the type of food you are cooking (e.g., chicken, beef, pork, turkey, fish, plant-based).
2. Choose your desired doneness level (e.g., rare, medium-rare, medium, well-done). The app will automatically set the target internal temperature.
3. The app will display real-time internal and ambient temperatures, along with an estimated remaining cook time.
4. You will receive notifications on your smartphone when your food is nearing or has reached its target temperature, including a 'rest' reminder to account for carryover cooking.

3.3 Wireless Range and Placement

The thermometer offers a wireless range of up to 165 feet in open air with a direct line of sight. To maintain optimal connection, keep the charging case as close as possible to the cooking appliance and the probe during cooking. Physical obstructions like walls or doors may reduce the effective range.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

The stainless steel probe is waterproof and designed for easy cleaning. After each use, allow the probe to cool completely. Hand wash the probe with soap and water. Do not immerse the charging case in water or place it in a dishwasher.

4.2 Charging and Storage

The thermometer probe charges when placed back into its protective charging case. The case itself is powered by 1 AAA battery (included). Store the probe in its charging case when not in use to ensure it is ready for your next cook. The magnetic base of the charging case allows for convenient storage on metal surfaces.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Connection Issues

If the thermometer frequently disconnects from the app:

• Ensure the charging case is within 165 feet of the probe and has a clear line of sight.
• Check the battery level of the charging case and replace the AAA battery if needed.
• Restart the Ninja ProConnect App and re-pair the device.
• Verify that your smartphone's Bluetooth is active.

5.2 Inaccurate Readings

If you suspect inaccurate temperature readings:

• Ensure the probe is inserted correctly into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone.
• Confirm that the black ceramic tip is fully submerged in the food.
• Allow sufficient time for the temperature to stabilize (response time is typically 3 seconds).
