Usage Instructions

• Assemble the Thermometer:
  • Ensure that the thermometer is properly assembled.
  • Insert the included 2 AAA batteries into the device.
• Select Temperature Unit:
  • Choose between Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) by following the unit selection instructions provided in the manual.
• Prepare Your Food:
  • Before inserting the probe, make sure your food is prepared and ready for cooking or roasting in the oven.
• Insert the Probe:
  • Carefully insert the stainless steel probe into the thickest part of the food. Ensure that the probe tip is in the center to get an accurate temperature reading.
• Set the Target Temperature:
  • Use the controls on the thermometer to set your desired target temperature for the food you are cooking. The thermometer will monitor the temperature and alert you when it reaches the set target.
• Monitor the Cooking Process:
  • Place the food with the inserted probe in the oven or on the cooking surface.
  • The 4-foot silicone cord allows you to close the oven door or grill lid while the thermometer monitors the temperature.
• Use the Timer (Optional):
  • If you want to set a cooking time in addition to monitoring the temperature, you can use the timer function. Set the timer for your desired duration (up to 24 hours), and the thermometer will also alert you when the time is up.
• Wait for the Alert:
  • As your food cooks, keep an eye on the dual LCD display on the thermometer. It will show both the target temperature and the current temperature.
  • When the actual temperature reaches your set target, or when the timer completes its countdown, the thermometer will sound an alarm to notify you.
• Remove and Enjoy:
  • Once the alarm sounds, carefully remove the food from the oven or cooking surface using appropriate oven mitts or potholders to handle the hot thermometer probe.
  • Let the food rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure it’s cooked to perfection.

Wired Robe Care

• The Dance with Heat: Beware the siren call of open flames and the seductive heat of the cooking surface. Like a skilled dancer maintains a graceful distance from their partner, so too must the probe’s wire avoid the allure of direct contact with these elements, lest it succumbs to their destructive embrace.

• The Path of the Wire: As the probe performs its duty, nestled within the heart of a roast or the tender belly of a fish, its wire must be guided with care. Let it not be pinched by the sharp edge of an oven door or the crushing weight of a grill lid, for the wire is the lifeline through which the culinary symphony is conducted.

• The Cleansing Ritual: After the feast is but a memory, and the probe has played its part, it asks for a simple, yet specific, cleansing ritual. Handwash with the gentleness of a lover’s caress, and do not let the waters rise above where the wire meets the probe, for it is here that the magic is housed, and it must be protected like the most sacred of treasures.

Cleaning and Storage

• After use, make sure to clean the stainless steel probe, as well as any other components that may have come into contact with food.
• Hand wash the thermometer; do not put it in the dishwasher.
• Store the thermometer in a safe and dry place for future use.

Safety precautions

• The thermometer probe can become hot during use. Always use potholders or oven mitts when handling the thermometer or removing it from the food or oven to prevent burns.
• Do not expose the probe or thermometer to open flames, as it can damage the silicone cord and components. Keep the thermometer away from stovetop burners, open grills, or any direct heat source.
• While the thermometer itself is not waterproof, it’s important to prevent water or liquids from coming into contact with the digital display, control panel, or the probe’s connector. This can damage the device and affect its accuracy.
• Do not immerse the entire thermometer, including the probe, in water or any liquid. It is not designed to be waterproof, and submerging it can lead to malfunction.
• Ensure that you follow recommended food safety guidelines for cooking temperatures. The thermometer helps you monitor food temperature to ensure it reaches a safe level to prevent foodborne illnesses.
• While using the timer function, do not leave your cooking unattended for extended periods. Monitor the cooking process to prevent overcooking or burning.
• The stainless steel probe is designed for accuracy. Avoid twisting, bending, or applying excessive force to the probe, as it can affect its performance.
• After each use, clean the probe and components as per the product care instructions. Store the thermometer in a safe and dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Store the thermometer in a location that is not accessible to children to prevent accidents or misuse.
• The Taylor 1470 Cooking Probe Thermometer and Timer is designed for cooking and temperature monitoring. Do not use it for any other purposes.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that the batteries are properly installed with the correct polarity.
• Check if the batteries are depleted and replace them with new ones.

Inaccurate Readings:
