BATTERY INSTALLATION

Replace batteries when LCD becomes dim. “—” flashes on the display when the batteries need to be replaced.

1. Power off the unit before installing the batteries. A malfunction may occur if the power is on when the batteries are installed. If a malfunction occurs, restart the device.
2. Remove battery cover on the back with a coin.
3. Remove the cover completely.
4. Install two LR44 batteries with positive (+) sides up.
5. Replace the battery cover.

Important: THE WATER RESISTANT FEATURE REQUIRES MAINTAINING THE RUBBER GASKET EVENLY WITHIN THE GROOVE.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. On/Off

1. Press the POWER button ( ) to turn the thermometer on.
2. The DTL572 will automatically turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
3. Press the POWER button ( ) again to turn the thermometer off and conserve battery life.

B. Temperature Scale
To select temperature reading in Fahrenheit or Celsius:

1. Using a paperclip, press the °F/°C button inside the battery compartment to change the scale.
2. The °F or °C symbol changes on the display.

C. Temperature Measurement
Important: THE PROBE MAY BE DAMAGED IF MEASUREMENT TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN -40°F/-40°C OR HIGHER THAN +572°F/+300°C.
Note: The DTL572 is intended for food service use — do not use for safety related applications.

1. Insert the probe at least 0.25″/6.3 mm into the food.
2. The current cooking temperature appears on the display.

CAUTION: Probe may be HOT after use. Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.

D. Hold Mode
Before withdrawing the DTL572 from the food, press the HOLD/CAL button. This will “hold” the reading until pressed again. h flashes in the upper left corner of the display.
E. Max/Min Mode
Max/Min Mode is always working behind the scenes, continually storing the highest and lowest temperatures.

1. Before using Max/Min Mode, clear the stored MAX/MIN values by pressing and holding the MAX/MIN button in Max or Min mode to clear the respective stored MAX/ MIN value.
2. Press the MAX/MIN button to display the highest temperature. H appears on the display.
3. Press the MAX/MIN button twice to display the lowest temperature. L appears on the display.
4. The display automatically returns to the temperature mode after a few seconds.
5. While in Max mode, press and hold the MAX/MIN button to clear the MAX value. Cllr. appears on the display before returning to temperature mode.
6. While in Min mode, press and hold the MAX/MIN button to clear the MIN value. Cllr. appears on the display before returning to temperature mode.

F. Field Calibration

1. Fill a 1 cup measuring container with a slurry of ice water using 3 parts crushed ice to 1 part water.
   Note: It is very difficult to get a 32°F/0°C ice water temperature. It will probably be closer to 34°F/1°C.

2. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes.

3. Immerse the probe into the middle of the ice slurry to a depth of at least 2 inches. Do not let the probe touch the bottom of container.

4. Press and hold the HOLD/CAL button. C0 appears on the display for 3 seconds and then the current temperature appears on the display.

5. Press the HOLD/CAL button again to calibrate to 32.0°F/0°C.

6. CAL appears on the display for 5 seconds and then returns to the current temperature.
   Note: To avoid accidental recalibration, this function only works when the water temperature is 30 to 34°F/-1 to +1°C.

Err will appear for 2 seconds if the water is not within this range and then return to the temperature display mode.
G. Battery Status

1. The display flashes when the voltage on the batteries is low.
2. “—” flashes on the display when the batteries need to be replaced.

Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN HOT OVEN. CASE IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. HAND WASH AND DRY.
Note: Remove label from display before initial use. Clean the thermometer probe before each use. Note for Induction Cooktops: Sometimes, the induction cooktop magnetic field may interfere with digital thermometers. If there is interference, briefly turn off the induction cooktop to get a digital thermometer reading r use a dial thermometer.
Tip: Meat should be allowed to “rest” for 10 to 15 minutes after it is removed from oven. This allows time for the meat’s internal temperature to stabilize and the juices
to redistribute. This will result in a roast that is both juicier and easier to carve.

CARE OF YOUR PRODUCT

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Store the thermometer at room temperature between -4 to +149°F/-20 to +65°C.

PRECAUTIONS

• Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
• Dispose of used batteries promptly and keep the batteries and thermometer away from children.
• Avoid subjecting the probe or thermometer to an open flame on the BBQ.
• Avoid subjecting the probe and/or thermometer to temperatures over 572°F/300°C.
• Clean the probe and thermometer with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly after use.
• Avoid cleaning the unit with an abrasive or corrosive compound, which may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuits.
• Avoid subjecting the thermometer to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature, direct sunlight or humidity. This may result in thermometer malfunction, shorter electronic life span, battery damage and/or distort parts.
• Avoid tampering with the thermometer’s internal components, which may cause battery damage and distort parts. • Do not use the thermometer in microwave oven.
• Always read the user manual thoroughly before operating.

OIL TEMPERATURE GUIDE
325–375°F/163-190°C is the normal desired temperature for deep fry cooking.
Note: When food is added to hot oil, the temperature of the oil immediately drops at least 50°F/28°C. You will need to bring the oil temperature back to the desired cooking temperature. Frying at lower temperatures results in lighter color, less flavor development and increased oil absorption.
