Troubleshooting

Calibration Procedure

To ensure the highest accuracy, you can calibrate your thermometer using an ice-water bath:

1. Fill a glass with crushed ice and add cold water until the glass is full. Stir well.
2. Insert the thermometer probe into the center of the ice-water mixture, ensuring the probe tip does not touch the bottom or sides of the glass.
3. Wait for the reading to stabilize (approximately 30 seconds). The temperature should read 32°F (0°C).
4. If the reading is not 32°F (0°C), press and hold the CAL button (if available, or refer to specific model instructions for calibration mode) until the display shows "CAL" or starts flashing.
5. Adjust the reading to 32°F (0°C) using the appropriate buttons (often the °C/°F button or dedicated up/down buttons).
6. Confirm the calibration (usually by pressing CAL again or waiting for it to auto-save).

Note: The exact calibration process may vary slightly. If your model does not have a dedicated CAL button, consult the manufacturer's website or contact support for detailed instructions.
