cooked to medium (USDA doneness level) and remind you to rotate hot dogs in 5
minutes.
- Turn on the grill.
- Follow the registration procedure.
- Place steak and hot dogs on the grill rack.
- Insert the probe sensor into the center of the thickest portion of the steak. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas. Assume the meat temperature is 45
- Position the probe sensor wire so they will not come into contact with flames and exit the grill surface area without being pinched/crushed by the grill cover
- Stand the transmitter away from heat source of the grill. DO NOT put a transmitter on a closed cover or under the cover. The transmitter is not waterproof DO NOT use in the rain.
- Press MEAT so BEEF is displayed.
- Press TASTE so MEDIUM is displayed and 150 °F will be shown as the TEMP SET.
- Press MODE to change to timer mode.
- Press MIN 5 times to set for 5 minutes so that 0:05 is displayed. Press START/STOP to start the countdown. Press MODE to go back to thermometer mode.
- Clip the receiver to your belt or pocket and move up to 100 ft away from the outdoor grill. Go indoors if desired.
- When 5 minutes are up the receiver will beep for 60 seconds.
- When the temperature of the probe in the steak reaches 55 °F the LCD backlight will flash blue.
- When the temperature of the probe in the steak reaches 135 °F the LCD backlight will flash green. When the temperature of the probe in the steak reaches 150 °F MEDIUM the receiver will beep and the LCD backlight will flash red. Press STOP to turn off the alert.
- Turn off the grill. Remove the probe sensor from the steak. Always wear a heat-resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
- Clean the stainless steel probe and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
- Turn off the transmitter.
HELPFUL HINTS
If the receiver and/or the transmitter display LLL or HHH instead of the probe
temperature, wait for the probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is
still displayed it is likely the internal probe wire has shorted out either
through moisture or heat damage.
Do not immerse the probe in the water while cleaning.
Do not allow the probe or probe wire to come into contact with flames. If
cooking with grill cover closed, only use medium or low heat.
If the probe becomes defective within 90 day warranty period please return the
defective probe to the address below along with return address and we will
send you new probe 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 is 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.
Cautions: Always wear a heat-resistant glove to touch the stainless steel
probe sensor or wire during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare
hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor and wire away from children.
Not Intended for Use by Persons ages 12 and Under
Clean the stainless steel probe and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
Do not immerse the probe or wire in water. Clean using a damp, soapy cloth.
Do not use the receiver or transmitter in the rain. They are not waterproof.
Do not expose the plug of the stainless steel probe or the plug-in hole of the
transmitter to water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connection and
faulty readings.
Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
Do not use stainless steel probe in a microwave oven.
The Professional Remote Cooking Thermometer registers temperatures as low as
14 °F (-10 °C) and as high as 572 °F (300 °C). LLL will be displayed below 4
°F and HHH will be displayed above 572 °F. Do not use the stainless steel
probe sensor above 482 °F. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
Cleaning
Always wear a heat-resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor
or wire during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor and wire away from children.
Wash the metal probe tip with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not
immerse the probe in the water while cleaning.
Wipe the transmitter and receiver with a damp cloth. Do not immerse either in
water.
