CAUTIONS

• Always wear a heat-resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe or heat-resistant wire during, or just after cooking.
• Hand washes the stainless steel probe thoroughly between uses (the probe is not dishwasher safe).
• Keep the stainless steel probe and heat-resistant wire away from children. If the meat temperature does not appear on the screen after the probe has been inserted into the meat, check to make sure the plug from the probe is securely inserted into the side of the transmitter.
•  DO NOT place the monitor in direct sunlight, or let it come in direct contact with moisture or hot surfaces.
• DO NOT USE THE PRE-PROGRAMMED THERMOMETER IN A MICROWAVE OVEN.
• This probe is for measuring the temperature of meat and poultry, not for oven temperatures.
•  DO NOT submerge the probe in water. Moisture inside the probe’s plug or the thermometer might cause an incorrect temperature reading. Always wipe the probe’s plug before plugging it into the transmitter.
• DO NOT expose probe or probe wire to open flames of barbeque. Doing so can deteriorate the probe.
