6. Calibration Function
For maximum measurement accuracy, the KULUNER TP-01 thermometer includes a calibration function. If you suspect the readings are inaccurate, you can recalibrate the device using an ice bath method:
- Fill a glass with crushed ice and top it off with cold water. Stir well.
- Insert the thermometer probe into the ice bath, ensuring the tip is fully submerged but not touching the bottom or sides of the glass.
- Wait for the temperature reading to stabilize (it should read 32℉ or 0℃).
- If the reading is not 32℉ (0℃), press and hold the “-CAL” button until the display shows “-CAL” or flashes 32℉ (0℃). The thermometer will then self-calibrate to the correct temperature.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: The thermometer is IP67 waterproof and can be washed under running water. Wipe the probe with a damp cloth or wash with mild soap and water after each use. Do not immerse the entire unit in water for extended periods. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Fold the probe back into the body for safe storage. The magnetic back allows it to be conveniently stored on metallic surfaces. Store in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or the thermometer stops responding, it's time to replace the CR2032 battery.
