Start measurement
1. Press the power switch and release it - the instrument will turn on
2. The temperature bar shows Lo
3. The TPM value shows - - -
4. Insert the sensor into the hot frying oil so that the oil level is between the minimum and maximum markings on the

5. If you want to keep the measured value in the display, press the HOLD button to activate the HOLD mode.
6. Press HOLD again to deactivate the measured value holding function
7. When the temperature indicator flashes and indicates "HI", the oil is too hot and over the specified temperature
range of 200 ° C
8. When the temperature indicator flashes and indicates "Lo", the oil is too cold and is below the specified temperature
range of 30 ° C
9. When the TMP indicator flashes and indicates "Lo," the oil / grease used is not suitable for the test or is not oil
Please note the following information in order to achieve the best possible results:
► Switch off an induction heater during the measurement as the electromagnetic field adversely affects the measuring
result.
► Take the fried items from the frying oil into the measurement and wait 5 minutes before the measurement.
► Clean the probe before each measurement or before the next measurement.
► Avoid direct contact with metal objects, such as, Frying baskets and pots as they can influence the results of the
measurements. The minimum distance of the sensor to the metal is at least 1 cm per side.
► Uneven oil temperature in frying oil can lead to a measurement error. Therefore, stir the measuring instrument briefly
in the frying oil.
► If the results of the measurements indicate that they contain an error due to the water intake: Please repeat the
measurement after 5 minutes (do not fry during this time to keep the fat high). If the new reading is too low, measure
it again after 5 minutes until the reading is stable.
► Replace frying oil when 24% TPM is reached. Different countries have different limits. Be sure to replace the frying
oil before reaching the limit.
