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:

1. Fill a glass with crushed ice and top it off with cold water. Stir well.
2. Insert the thermometer probe into the ice bath, ensuring the tip is fully submerged but not touching the bottom or sides of the glass.
3. Wait for the temperature reading to stabilize (it should read 32℉ or 0℃).
4. 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.
