it often. A weak battery will cause the unit to lose accuracy.
Always dispose of exhausted batteries safely.
A food thermometer can assist in the proper preparation of
food. However, use of this electronic device does not guard
against unsafe food handling practices. Always follow proper
food preparation techniques to limit the risk of food borne
illness.
The stainless steel wire probe should not be exposed to
oven temperatures exceeding 572˚F (300˚C).
If the temperature exceeds or falls below the measurable
ranges, the LCD screen will display the following letters:
HHH for temperatures above range and L L L for temperatures
below range.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Cooking Thermometer
Clean the stainless temperature probe with hot water and
soap and rinse clean. Do not submerge the probe and cable
in water. The probe /cable connection is not waterproof.
Plug the temperature probe into the socket on the right side
of the main unit.
Make sure the probe cable is free of knots. Make sure the
sensor plug on the end of the cord is plugged into the base
unit. (Note: if the probe is not plugged in properly or is crimped,
the display will show LLL.)
Slide the switch on the back of the base unit to display the
temperature
in ˚F or ˚C.
Slide the mode selector switch to the cook position " ".
You will see two temperatures on the LCD display. On the
left
is the
actual temperature reading as measured by the
-4-
temperature probe and on the right is the set temperature.
The default reading is 212˚F
Set your desired cooking temperature by choosing Quick
Temperature Setting or Manual Temperature Setting. (see
Section Quick Temperature Setting and Manual Temperature
Setting)
Insert the tip of the temperature probe at least 5 cm/2" into the
thickest part of the meat, but not near bone or gristle.
Place food into the oven. Before closing the oven door, make
sure there is enough slack in the steel mesh cable to prevent
the probe from being pulled out of the food when the oven door
is closed. The base unit must be positioned outside of the
oven on a stable surface and must be firmly connected to the
temperature probe.
To prevent damage to the base unit, it should not be placed
on a hot surface.
When the internal temperature of your food reaches the
temperature you have set, an audible alert will sound. To
stop the alert, either slide the mode selector switch to O
or disconnect the temperature probe from the base unit
and the alarm will stop within 30 seconds.
Before removing the food from the oven, disconnect the steel
mesh cable from the base unit. Do not touch hot probe or wire
with bare hands during or just after cooking. Always wear a
heat-resistant glove.
