Instrument Operation

To turn on the EXEC thermometer, press the power button. The unit will automatically turn off after 35 minutes to conserve battery life. To manually turn off the device, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The backlight can be activated by pressing the power button once while the instrument is on; press again to turn it off.

Insert the stainless steel probe into the food item to the desired depth. The measured temperature will be displayed on the LCD screen within 3 to 4 seconds.

Visual Description: The EXEC thermometer features a stainless steel probe and a digital display. It has buttons for power, MAX/MIN, and °C/°F selection. The device is branded with the EXEC and NSF logos.

Using MIN/MAX Function

Press the MAX/MIN button to view the highest recorded temperature. Press the button again to view the lowest recorded temperature. Pressing it a third time returns the display to the normal temperature reading. To reset the stored maximum and minimum temperature memory, press and hold the MAX/MIN button for three seconds. The MAX and MIN values are also reset when the unit is powered off.

Battery Installation

When the low battery indicator 'Bat' flashes on the display, replace the battery. The thermometer uses one 3-volt CR1632 button-cell battery or equivalent. To replace the battery, use a suitable screwdriver to open the battery cover located on the back of the unit. Ensure the new battery is inserted with the correct polarity (positive side '+' facing up) and slide it under the metal clip. Close the battery cover securely.

Selecting Temperature Units (°F or °C)

Press the °C/°F button on the back of the thermometer to switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) temperature units.

Calibration Trim

The EXEC thermometer is factory calibrated to read within ±0.9°F. Calibration adjustments are typically not necessary. For instructions on performing a one-point calibration trim, please visit the EXEC product page on the ThermoWorks website.

Care and Cleaning

Clean the probe immediately after each use to prevent cross-contamination. Avoid exposing the thermometer body to temperatures exceeding 122°F (50°C). Do not leave the thermometer inside hot ovens. Do not submerge the entire thermometer in liquid.
