Before you start

Remove the barbecue thermometer and all accessories from the packaging and check that the package contents are complete. Remove all protective films. 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 temperature sensors (30; 31) cables around the transmitter and fix the temperature 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 temperature 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 (2) lights up once briefly with blue and then red back-lighting and a signal sound.

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 (2; 16).
In this case, make sure the connectors (27; 28) are properly inserted into the sockets (25; 26). The distance between the 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 meters 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).

Cleaning

  • Always allow the barbecue thermometer to cool completely before cleaning. There is a risk of getting burnt.
  • The barbecue thermometer and accessories are not suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher.
  • Clean the barbecue thermometer, especially the temperature sensors (30; 31) after every use.
  • Do not use solvents or aggressive detergents, brushes with metallic bristles or metallic objects such as knives, spatulas or similar.
  • The barbecue thermometer and accessories cannot be washed in the dishwasher.
  • Never immerse the barbecue thermometer or accessories in water or other liquids.
  • Clean the transmitter (14) and receiver (1) with a slightly moistened, soft cloth. If necessary, use a mild detergent.
  • Clean the temperature sensors (30; 31) with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
  • Allow all parts to dry thoroughly after cleaning.
