Battery Installation/Set Up

  • slide open the battery compartment door at the back of the unit
  • Insert one (1) AAA battery according to the polarity markings.
  • Replace the battery compartment door.

Important Notes/Warning

  • This product is not for use in microwave ovens.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Do not touch hot probe or wire with bare hands or just after cooking. Always wear a heat-resistant glove.
  • Do not expose probe directly to flame. Doing so will cause wire to deteriorate.
  • When not in use, slide the mode selector switch to the OFF position ( ) to conserve the battery.
  • Be sure to use a good quality alkaline battery and replace it often. A weak battery will cause the unit to lose accuracy.

  • 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 this 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 1 and/or 2 into the corresponding sockets on the right side of the device.
  • Make sure the probe cable is free of knots. Make sure the sensor plug on the end of the cord is plugged into the sockets completely. (Note: if the probe is not plugged in properly or crimped, the display will show “~”.) Slide the switch on the back of the  evice to display the temperature in °F or °C.
  • Slide the mode selector switch to the cook position “4″.

Helpful Hints

  • If the unit display LLL o HHH instead of the probe temperature, wait for probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed it s likely the internal probe wire has shorted out either through moisture o heat damage.
  • Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
  • Do not allow the probe or probe wire to come into contact with flames.
  • Within the warranty period, please contact our customer service and we will send you a replacement probe at no charge.
  • If the temperature displayed seems to read too high or the temperature seems to increase too quickly, check to make sure the probe tip s not poking through the food to outside.
  • Reposition the probe tip in the center of the thickest part of food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.

Cleaning & Care

  •  The device is not waterproof. Do not expose plug of probe or plug-in hole to any liquid, which will result in a bad connection and faulty readings.
  • The probe and cable are not dishwasher safe. They must be hand washed using hot water and soap. Make sure to rinse and dry the probe thoroughly before storing.
  • Do not submerge the device in water or expose to any corrosive cleaning materials. Wipe with damp cloth.
