Temperature monitoring when cooking BBQ

• The device can be used to monitor the cooking chamber temperature in the barbecue and the core temperature of a maximum of two BBQ cooking items.
• Connect the two probes. For measuring the core temperature of meat, plunge the corresponding probe at least 2-3 cm into the middle of the thickest part of the meat; for poultry, between the torso and the thigh – it should not touch bones or cartilage and it should not protrude from the meat. The probe should remain in the meat throughout the cooking process.
• We recommend the clip for BBQ meat thermometers (Cat. No. 30.3525.60) to attach the temperature probe to the grill.
• Now simply run the cable to the outside. Close the lid again. Be careful with sharp-edged frames and hinges. Do not use the cable wrap in the grill!
• In the app, select the cooking chamber sensor and the two probes one after the other and choose your desired settings. Select a preset target temperature via the type of meat and the desired cooking level or enter an individual target temperature or an upper and lower limit. Different levels of doneness available depending on the type of meat.
• The current temperatures and the target temperatures are shown in the app and alternately on the thermometer display.

Temperature alarm

• The alarm settings can be configured in the app.
• The alarm is activated on the thermometer and the app
• as soon as the core temperature is reached
• if the set upper temperature limit is exceeded
• if the set lower temperature limit has fallen below when the timer has expired.
• Press the control button (Fig.1-A) on the thermometer to stop the alarm.
• The alarm is reactivated after a selectable interval as long as the alarm event exists.

Illumination

• Press the control button on the thermometer (Fig.1-A).
• The backlight is activated briefly.
• Clean the thermo

Care and maintenance

• meter and the probes with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents. Do not immerse the devices in water.
• Should water or steam enter the device’s jack, it could affect the contact with the probe. Dry the probe connector with a cloth before connecting it to your thermometer.
• Turn off the device after use. Use the rubber protection covers for the jacks.
• Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.

Battery replacement

• The charging status of the thermometer’s batteries is shown on a symbol with three bars (Fig.5-B, Fig.6-M).
