Warning
Please observe the following precautions for safe and optimal use:
- The maximum temperature for the unit's plastic back magnet is 80℃/176℉. Exceeding this may cause melting.
- Probe temperature range: 32°F ~ 572°F (Short-time measurement); 32°F ~ 482°F (continuous monitoring). Exceeding these limits can burn out the probe and wire.
- Crucially, do not place the probe or wire directly into a flame or heating tube.
- Do not submerge the probe and wire in water for extended periods, as this can lead to inaccurate temperature readings. The device itself is not waterproof.
- Avoid strongly squeezing or bending the probe and wire, which could damage the plastic coating and cause short circuits.
- Remove the silicone cover from the end of the sensor before use.
- Ensure any unused probe sockets are covered to protect them.
FAQ
Why do the probes display inaccurate temperatures, such as 572°F or '------'?
Answer: First, ensure the probes are firmly inserted into the unit with no gaps. Push them in securely. Try inserting probes into different ports to check if the probe itself is faulty. Firmly inserted probes are essential; otherwise, the display may show '-----', even if the phone is paired via Bluetooth.
Can I place this unit in high-temperature areas?
Answer: No, the unit cannot be placed in high-temperature areas. The plastic back magnet's temperature should not exceed 80℃/176℉, or it may melt. The probe temperature range is 32°F ~ 572°F for short-time measurements and 32°F ~ 482°F for continuous monitoring.
Why can't my cell phone find the app?
Answer: Ensure your GPS is enabled on your Android phone.
Why do I need a 4-number PIN code? What are the correct steps to pair with my cell phone?
Answer: This unit does not require a PIN code. Here are two solutions: First, if you have previously used other Inkbird thermometers, delete the old records from your phone before pairing with this product, as one phone can only connect to one unit at a time. Second, activate Bluetooth on your phone, open the BBQGO app, press the "Start" button to search, then press and hold the unit's power button for about 4 seconds to connect.
Can this unit be submerged in water?
Answer: No, the unit should not be submerged in water. While it can be used outdoors in the rain, ensure all unused sockets are properly covered. Do not submerge the unit.
Are the probes and wires waterproof?
Answer: Yes, the probes and wires are waterproof.
Does this unit have low/high temperature alarm functions?
Answer: Yes, it supports low and high temperature alarms.
Is there any graphing or saving of previous cook data?
Answer: The unit can only display the current cooking data; it cannot save or download previous cook data.
