Before First Use:
- Ensure the battery is installed correctly. If not, insert one 1*AAA battery, observing the polarity (+/-). Securely tighten the battery cover.
- Clean the stainless steel tip with a warm, soapy sponge or cloth, then rinse and dry.
- The thermometer is now ready for use.
To Measure Food Temperature:
- Press the /°C/°F button to turn on the thermometer.
- Press and hold the /°C/°F button for 4 seconds to select your preferred temperature unit (°C or °F). The unit will be remembered for future use.
- Insert the probe tip into the food being cooked. The thermometer will begin measuring the internal food temperature.
- Press the LIGHT button to turn on the backlight. It will automatically turn off after 15 seconds.
- Wait for the temperature reading to stabilize on the display.
- Press the LOCK/CAL button to lock the current temperature reading.
- Press the /°C/°F button to turn off the thermometer. The unit also features an auto-off function, turning off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Calibration:
The thermometer has a calibration feature, though it is typically calibrated at the factory. If you suspect inaccuracy after prolonged use, you can recalibrate:
- Prepare an ice-water mixture: Use distilled or purified water to make ice cubes. Fill a thermal insulated bottle or beaker with at least 70% ice cubes, then add cold distilled or purified water to fill the remaining 30%.
- Stir the mixture and let it sit for 10 minutes for temperature equilibration.
- Turn on the thermometer and press and hold the LOCK/CAL button for 5 seconds to enter Calibration mode. 'CAL' will flash, followed by the current temperature reading flashing.
- Immerse the probe into the ice-water mixture, ensuring it does not touch the container sides. Wait for the reading to drop to its lowest point, ideally around 32°F (0°C). If the temperature is not between 28°F to 36°F (-2°C to +2°C), remake the ice-water mixture.
- Press and hold the LOCK/CAL button for 3 seconds to confirm calibration and exit the mode.
Note: Calibration mode lasts only 15 seconds. If not completed, the thermometer will exit automatically.
Undo-Calibration:
To revert to the default calibration setting:
- Turn on the thermometer and press and hold the LOCK/CAL button for 5 seconds to enter Calibration mode.
- When the temperature reading flashes, press and hold the Light button for 3 seconds. The reading will stop flashing, indicating the default calibration is restored.
Helpful Hints:
- To ensure accurate readings when measuring different foods, cool the probe tip with cold water between measurements.
- Wipe the probe tip clean between readings, especially when measuring different foods.
- This thermometer is designed for temporary, hand-held use. Do not use it in an oven. Do not leave it inserted in extremely hot foods or liquids (over 572°F/300°C) for more than 1 minute.
- Always take readings from the thickest part of the meat. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas. If the tip is not inserted deep enough, take a second reading for accuracy.
- Not intended for use by persons aged 12 or under.
Care of Your Thermometer:
- Avoid touching the stainless steel probe during or immediately after use, as it may be hot.
- Do not expose the thermometer to extreme high or low temperatures, as this can damage electronic parts and plastics.
- Do not leave the thermometer inserted in food during cooking.
- Remove the battery if the thermometer will be stored for more than four months.
