SAFETY:
Read and use instrucons before use
Cauon: These probes are not for contact with food or liquids, including highly
acidic, alkaline, or salty foods such as citrus or tomato-based foods.
Exposure outside of intended operang condions could cause product deterioraon,
damage to probe, and/or impact to food quality. Cauon: Do not touch a hot
metal probe with bare hands.
Only the metal poron of the probe can withstand temperature up to 500 F (232
C) not the enre instrument. The metal probe should not touch direct heang
elements such as flames or grill surfaces.
To avoid burning fingers, it may be helpful to remove the food from the heat
source (if cooking on a grill or in a frying pan) aer placing the item on a
clean spatula or plate. Cauon: Not Microwave Safe Do not use in Microwave
Keep out of Reach of Children

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Fully inspect the probe prior to first use. Do NOT use the probe if it appears
damaged. Wash and Sanize before First Use. Connecng a Type K Inseron Probe
This probe is a Type K thermocouple temperature probe. Ensure that this
thermocouple matches that of your device. Be sure you insert the probe
connectors posive (+) and negave (-) polarity correctly into the TYPE K
connector of your device.
Removing a Type K Probe Detach probe from instrument by holding the yellow
plasc connector, do not pull the plug out by the stainlesssteel probe. How to
use the thermocouple surface probe: The number one source of error in surface
temperature readings is from insufficient heat transfer. To improve heat
transfer, put a small amount of oil or grease on the surface area and press
the probe down firmly.
Calibraon/Tesng The US Department of Agriculture recommends regularly
calibrang food thermometers and probes. This is an important pracce and a
provision of the FDA Food Code: Calibraon Frequency: Probe should be tested
for accuracy as prescribed by your HAACP plan or local food code. Condions
such as extended high temperature exposure, severe environmental condions or
thermal or mechanical shock condions can affect probe accuracy. If used under
these condions probe should be tested more frequently. Requiring calibraon
does not mean adjusng the calibraon sengs. When no “field” adjustment of
calibraon sengs is introduced, you eliminate the risk of introducing error
into the instrument.
Cleaning Instrucons Cleaning Between Uses: this probe should be cleaned
between uses with individual alcohol wipes (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) or
with soapy water. When using an alcohol wipe it is important to let the probe
air dry completely before use. Proper cleaning before and aer each probe use
will help prevent foodborne illness, extend probe life, and assure compliance
with HACCP guidelines. Should you need to remove stubborn grease from probe,
use a scouring pad or steel wool. Do not leave probes in sanizing soluon for
an extended period.
Maintenance The temperature probe is maintenance-free. Repairs are to be
carried out exclusively by the manufacturer or by appropriately qualified
personnel.
Product Disposal Please follow local laws and regulaons when disposing or
recycling this probe. If your product contains electronic components, it must
be disposed of separately from standard waste products.
