If you notice any damage, do not use the barbecue thermometer and contact the manufacturer’s customer service department. We recommend cleaning the temperature sensors (30; 31) before first use.

Inserting/replacing the batteries
When the batteries are weak, the display indication normally dims. In this case, replace the batteries as soon as practical.

Transmitter (14):

• Switch the transmitter (14) off using the ON/OFF button (19).
• Unlock the battery compartment cover (24) and remove it.
• Insert two AAA 1.5V (Micro LR3) batteries, making sure the polarity is correct. Refer to the diagram inside the battery compartment (23).
• Close the battery compartment (23) by replacing the cover (24). You should hear it click into place.

Receiver (1):

• Switch the receiver (1) off using the ON/OFF button (8).
• Now unfold the retractile clip (10) so you can open the battery compartment cover (13) into the direction of the arrow.
• Insert two AAA 1.5V (Micro LR3) batteries, making sure the polarity is correct. Refer to the diagram inside the battery compartment (12).
• Close the battery compartment (12) by replacing the cover (13) and pushing it in the opposite direction to the arrow.

Connecting the temperature sensors (30; 31)

• Before using it for the first time, remove the transport protection (black rubber cover) from the temperature sensors (30; 31) ends.
• Insert the connectors (27; 28) into the sockets (25; 26) on the side of the transmitter (14).
• When not using it, you can wind the temperatures sensors (30; 31) cables around the transmitter and fix the temperatures sensors (30; 31) on the transmitter (14) top. There is an additional plastic nose for this purpose.

Selecting the temperature unit
You can choose between two temperature units (°C and °F). On the receiver (1) you can do this using the selection button (6). On the transmitter (14), slide the controller (22) on the back panel to the desired position.

Getting started

The barbecue thermometer has 2 temperature sensors (30; 31) and can perform 2 measurements simultaneously. The settings for the 2 temperatures sensors (30; 31) can be adjusted individually. The displays on the receiver (1) and transmitter (14) keep you up-to-date on the temperature status in real time. There is a separate display for each temperature sensor (30; 31) on both the receiver (1) and transmitter (14).

• Switch the transmitter (14) on by keeping the ON/OFF button (19) pressed. When in use, the red LED (18) flashes every few seconds.
• Now also switch the receiver (1) on by keeping the ON/OFF button (8) pressed. The LCD display (2) lights up once briefly with blue and then red back-lighting, and a signal sounds.

If the temperature sensors (30; 31) are not connected to the transmitter (14) or there is a fault with the wireless connection between the transmitter (14) and the receiver (1), “- – -” is displayed as the current core temperature on the LCD display (2; 16). In this case, make sure the connectors (27; 28) are properly inserted into the sockets (25; 26). The distance between transmitter (14) and receiver (1) must not be too large. If necessary, switch the transmitter (14) and receiver (1) off for about 3 seconds by long-pressing the button and then switch them back on again. This should resolve the problem.

Position when in use
The range of the transmitter (14) is about 50 metres in optimum conditions. Make sure the distance between the transmitter (14) and the receiver (1) is not too great. This would mean accurate temperature measurement would not be possible.

• Receiver (1)
  • You can use the belt clip (11) to affix the receiver (1) to your belt or bag, for example.
  • The belt clip (11) has two built-in magnets. This means you can also stick the receiver (1) to a magnetic surface.
• Transmitter (14)
  • There are two magnets (21) on the back of the transmitter (14). This means you can also stick the transmitter (14) to a magnetic surface. When positioning the transmitter (14), make sure that you can easily reach the food whose core temperature you wish to measure with the temperature sensors (30; 31) cable. The transmitter (14) is made of plastic. Therefore, do not affix it to parts of the handle which get very hot, e.g. on the barbecue cover or the charcoal dish. This could damage the transmitter (14).

Selecting the type of meat (32) / Adjusting the level of cooking

• Press the “MEAT / STOP” button (9) to select the type of meat (32). The LCD display (2) shows the selection. Every time the button is pressed, the selection changes, moving through the table below:
• Once you have selected the type of meat (32), press the “TASTE / START“ button (4). Every time the button is pressed, the selection changes, moving through the table below. The current target temperature set is shown on the LCD display (2) under “TARGET TEMP” (36; 37).
  Display| Meaning
  ---|---
  WELL| Cooked through
  MED WELL| Nearly cooked through
  MEDIUM| Half cooked through
  MED RARE| Pink
  RARE| Bleeding

Please note:
For health and other reasons, not all options are available for all types of meat.
For example, poultry should always be cooked through. For this reason, only this cooking level is available.

You also have the option of setting the target temperature “TARGET TEMP” (36; 37) manually. To do so, proceed as follows:

• First select the temperature sensor (30; 31) which target temperature you want to set. To do this, use the “MODE” button (5). On the top of the LCD display (2), P1 appears for temperature sensor 1 (31) or P2 appears for temperature sensor 2 (30).
• Press and hold the “MODE“ button (5) for approx. 3 seconds. A beep sounds and “TARGET TEMP” (36; 37) flashes on the LCD display (2). Use the “MIN / +” (3) and “SEC / -” (7) buttons to change the figure. Press the “MODE” (5) button to apply the target temperature shown in “TARGET TEMP” (36; 37).
• To cancel the manual selection or select another type of meat, press and hold the “TASTE / START“ button (4) for about 3 seconds. Alternatively, you can switch the receiver (1) off and on again using the ON/OFF button (8).

For low core temperatures, only use meat which is fresh and in excellent condition. Generally, low core temperatures are not suitable for frozen or vacuum-packed meat.

Measuring the core temperature
The temperature is only measured correctly if no other devices of the same type are nearby and switched on. Otherwise, the current temperature is not shown correctly and uniquely on the LCD display (2).

• With the transmitter (14) and receiver (1) switched on, guide the point of the desired temperature sensor (30; 31) into the thickest part of the meat. It makes sense to feed the temperature sensor (30; 31) into the meat from the side, as you can then still turn it. If you also use the second temperature sensor (30; 31) for another piece of meat, proceed the same way.
  Avoid contact between the temperature sensor (30; 31) and bones. This can result in an inaccurate temperature measurement. The temperature sensor (30;

31. should also not be inserted into pure fat for the same reason.

• After a short time, the core temperature of the meat is displayed under “CURRENT TEMP” (34; 35) on the transmitter (14) LCD display (16) and on the receiver (1). As the food cooks, the temperature rises until it reaches the target temperature
  “TARGET TEMP” (36; 37) set. The LCD display (2) then begins to flash red and a beep sounds with each flash.

• Press the “MEAT / STOP“” button (9) to stop the beeping and the temperature measurement.
  If you added multiple pieces of the same meat of similar shape and size to the pan or the barbecue at the same time, you can assume that the correct level of cooking has also been achieved for the other pieces as well.

Cooking chart
The following cooking chart can be used as a guide. The values quoted can differ slightly as a function of the quality of the meat used.

*: Please note that the core temperature quoted for beef applies to steak.

If you are hypersensitive to germs, make sure that the meat reaches a core temperature of 70 °C – 80 °C for several minutes.

Type of food / Cooking level| WELL| MED WELL| MEDIUM| MED RARE| RARE
---|---|---|---|---|---
**BEEF*| 66 °C / 150 °F| 58 °C / 136 °F| 55 °C / 131 °F| 53 °C / 127 °F| 49 °C / 120 °F

Timer function
If you are not happy with the level of cooking achieved, you can use the timer function to continue cooking the food for a little longer. You do not have to leave the temperature sensor (30; 31) in the meat for this. The procedure is as follows:

• Press the “MODE” button (5) until “TIMER” is shown on top of the LCD display (2).
• Select the time you want by pressing the “MIN / + (3) and “SEC / -” (7) buttons. You can also hold the buttons down to make the numbers move faster.
• Press the “TASTE / START” button (4) to start the countdown. The time on the LCD display (2) now counts backwards and you can see the time remaining at any time.
• You can use the “MEAT / STOP” button (9) to pause the countdown, for example to check or turn the food. You can then resume the countdown by pressing the “TASTE / START“ button (4).
• When the time is up, the LCD display (2) begins to flash red and a beep sounds with each flash.
• Press the “MEAT / STOP“” button (9) to stop the beeping. Otherwise, the beeping stops automatically after about 2 minutes.
