• The stainless-steel wire probe should not be exposed to oven temperatures exceeding 716°F (380°C).
• Do not let probe or cable come into direct contact with the oven elements, as it will result in faulty readings and/or damage.
• If the temperature exceeds or falls below the measurable ranges, the LCD screen will display the following letters: HHH for temperatures above range and LLL for temperatures below range.

Operating Instructions

Using the Cooking Thermometer

• Clean the stainless temperature probe with hot water and soap and rinse clean. Do not submerge the probe and cable in water. The probe/cable connection is not waterproof.
• Plug the temperature probe into the corresponding socket on the right side of the device.
• Make sure the probe cable is free of knots. Make sure the probe connector at the end of the cable is plugged into the socket completely. (Note: if the probe is not plugged in properly or is crimped, the display will show LLL.)
• Press and hold the °F/°C button for 2 seconds on the back of the device to display the temperature in °F or °C.
• Set your desired cooking temperatures by choosing Quick Temperature Setting or User-defined Temperature Setting.
• Insert the tip of the probe at least 2"/5cm into the thickest part of the meat, but not near bone or gristle.
• Place food into the oven. Before closing the oven door, make sure there is enough slack in the steel mesh cable to prevent the probe from being pulled out of the food when the oven door is closed.
• The device must be positioned outside of the oven on a stable surface and must be firmly connected to the temperature probes.
• To prevent damage to the device, it should not be placed on a hot surface.
• When the internal temperature of your food reaches the temperature you have set, an audible alert will sound. Press any button to stop the alert.
• Before removing the food from the oven, disconnect the steel mesh cables from the device. Do not touch hot probe or wire with bare hands during or just after cooking. Always wear a heat-resistant glove.
