3.1 Cooking with the Device Base (Standalone)

The ThermoMaven P1 can be operated directly from its base unit without needing the app for basic temperature monitoring.

1. Power On and Insert Probe: Power on the device by pressing the power button. Remove the probe from the base. Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, ensuring it is inserted up to the safety line and the tip does not pierce through.
2. Select Cooking Mode: The device offers two modes:
   • Manual Mode: Allows you to set a specific target temperature. The device will alert you when this temperature is reached.
   • Smart Mode: Guides you through the cooking process, alerting for early removal and signaling when food is ready, based on internal algorithms.
3. Set Target Temperature (Manual Mode): Press the SET button, choose 'Manual Mode', and confirm with OK. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the target temperature, then press OK to confirm.
4. Begin Cooking: Place the meat with the inserted probe into your oven, grill, or smoker.
5. Alerts: The base will alert you when the desired temperature is reached (Manual Mode) or when it's time to remove the meat from the heat source (Smart Mode). The 'Ready' or 'Remove' indicator will illuminate on the display.
6. Resting: For optimal results, allow the meat to rest for a few minutes after removal before consuming.
