Setup
1. Unboxing and Initial Charge
Carefully unbox your MEATER Pro Duo bundle. You should find two MEATER Probes, a bamboo charging dock, and a pair of MEATER BBQ/Oven Mitts. Before first use, fully charge both MEATER Probes by placing them into the bamboo charging dock. The indicator light on the dock will show the charging status. Ensure the dock has a working AAA battery or is connected to a USB power source (depending on your specific dock model).
2. Download the MEATER App
Download the official MEATER app from your smartphone or tablet's app store (available for iOS and Android). Search for 'MEATER'.
3. Pairing Probes with the App
Open the MEATER app and ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. The app will guide you through the process of pairing your MEATER Probes. Keep the probes within Bluetooth range of your device during pairing and cooking.
4. Using the MEATER Mitts
The included MEATER Mitts are designed to protect your hands from high temperatures. Wear them when handling hot grills, oven racks, pans, or other cooking utensils. Ensure a secure grip before moving hot items.
Operating Instructions
1. Probe Insertion
Insert the MEATER Probe into the thickest part of the meat, ensuring the safety notch on the probe is fully embedded and only the metal tip is exposed to the heat source. Avoid inserting near bones or large pockets of fat, as this can affect temperature accuracy.

2. Using the Guided Cook System
Open the MEATER app and select the 'Guided Cook' option. Choose your meat type, cut, and desired doneness. The app will then provide step-by-step instructions, monitor the internal and ambient temperatures in real-time, and alert you when your food is ready.
3. Dual Monitoring
With the MEATER Pro Duo, you can monitor two probes simultaneously. This is ideal for cooking different types of meat or achieving varying doneness levels for multiple cuts. Each probe's data will be displayed clearly within the app.

4. Advanced Estimator Algorithm
The MEATER app's Advanced Estimator Algorithm calculates the remaining cook time and accounts for the crucial resting period. This feature helps you plan your meal and manage your time effectively, ensuring your food is ready when you are.
5. Resting Period
Always allow meat to rest after cooking as recommended by the MEATER app. The resting period is critical for the meat to reabsorb juices, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. The app will guide you through this process.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the MEATER Probes
After each use, allow the probes to cool. Clean the MEATER Probes with a damp cloth and mild dish soap. Do not submerge the entire probe in water, especially the ceramic handle. Ensure the probes are completely dry before returning them to the charging dock.
2. Cleaning the Charging Dock
Wipe the bamboo charging dock with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or submerge the dock in water.
3. MEATER Mitts Care
The MEATER Mitts can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, refer to any care labels attached to the mitts for specific washing instructions.
Troubleshooting
1. Connectivity Issues
- Ensure your MEATER Probes are fully charged.
- Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
- Keep the probes within the specified Bluetooth range of your device or MEATER Block (if applicable).
- Check that the MEATER app has the necessary location and Bluetooth permissions enabled on your device.
2. Inaccurate Temperature Readings
- Confirm the probe is inserted correctly into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones or large fat pockets.
- Ensure the ambient sensor (the ceramic handle end of the probe) is not directly exposed to flames, submerged in liquid, or touching hot grates, as this can affect ambient temperature readings.
3. App Not Responding
- Close and restart the MEATER app.
- If issues persist, restart your mobile device.
4. Battery Life Concerns
- Always ensure probes are fully charged before each cook.
- Check the battery in the charging dock (if applicable) and replace it if low, or ensure the dock is connected to a reliable USB power source.
