Turn on the temperature alerts
Press HI & LO together to activate the HI & LO temperature alerts.. An alarm icon will appear beneath
TEMP in the upper left hand corner of LCD.
Note: The receiver will beep and the alarm icon and probe temperature display will
flash if:
the actual oil temperature has exceeded your maximum oil temperature setting
the actual oil temperature has fallen below your minimum oil temperature setting
Note: The minimum oil temperature alert is not activated until the actual oil
temperature goes above the minimum temperature setting.
Example: If you set the minimum oil temperature for 330 °F and press the HI & LO together to turn on
the warning alert and your actual oil temperature is below 330 °F the unit will NOT beep or
flash. It assumes your oil is not up to temperature. Once the actual oil temperature goes over
330 °F the minimum oil alert is activated. If it falls below 330 °F after that it will beep & flash.

Procedure for typical use with an outdoor turkey fryer:
The following typical example will go through the steps to use your Turkey Fryer Remote
Thermometer to cook a 12 lb turkey for 45 minutes at 350 °F. Also to have it alert you when
your initial oil temperature is up to temperature (370 °F) and if the oil temperature falls below
340 °F or goes above 360 °F during the cooking process.
Set up your turkey fryer.
Follow the registration procedure ( "Sync Up" )for the turkey fryer remote thermometer.
Clip the transmitter probe to the turkey fryer pot so that the probe tip is immersed in oil but not
touching the inside of the pot and so the bottom of the transmitter is at least 1" above the rim of the pot.
DO NOT immerse the transmitter in oil.
Press HI to display the maximum oil alert temperature.
While the value is displayed press & hold HI for 2 seconds, the temperature value will flash.
Press HI to increase the alert temperature or press LO to decrease it so 370 °F is displayed.
Once 370 °F is reached don't push any buttons until the flashing 370 °F disappears.
Quickly press HI to read (confirm) 370 °F HIGH alert temperature.
Press LO to display the minimum oil alert temperature.
While the value is displayed press & hold LO for 2 seconds, the temperature value will flash.
Press HI to increase the alert temperature or press LO to decrease it so 340 °F is displayed.
Once 340 °F is reached don't push any buttons until the flashing 340 °F disappears.
Quickly press LO to read (confirm) 340 °F LOW alert temperature.
Press HI & LO together to turn on the alert temperatures.
Heat up the oil and monitor the oil temperature with the receiver. The receiver will beep and
flash when the oil temperature has reached 370 °F.
Press HI & LO together to turn off the alert temperatures
Press HI to display the maximum oil alert temperature set at 370 °F.
While the value is displayed press & hold HI for 2 seconds, the 370 °F will flash.
Press LO to decrease it so 360 °F is displayed.
Once 360 °F is reached don't push any buttons until the flashing 360 °F disappears.
Quickly press HI to read (confirm) 360 °F HIGH alert temperature.
Press MIN repeatedly to put 45 minutes on the timer.
It is now time to start the cooking process. Carefully lower your 12 lb prepared turkey into the turkey
fryer. The oil temperature should drop immediately.
Press START/STOP to start the 45 minute countdown timer.
Press HI & LO together to turn on the alert temperatures.
The turkey fryer remote thermometer should be displaying the actual oil temperature in upper right
hand corner, the average oil temperature in lower left hand corner and the countdown timer in the lower
right hand corner of LCD.
It is now monitoring the actual oil temperature and will alert you if the oil drops below 340 °F or goes above
360 °F. It will also monitor the average oil temperature during the 45 minute cooking process.
When timer counts down the 45 minutes the receiver will beep and flash for 30 seconds unless you press
START/STOP to turn it off. It with then continue to count up and continue to compute the average oil
temperature.
If the actual oil temperature falls below 340 °F or goes above 360 °F the unit will flash and beep until the
oil temperature is brought back into range between 340 °F - 360 °F or until HI & LO are pressed together
to shut off the alert temperatures.

Installing batteries
Open the battery compartment of receiver and insert the two "AAA" batteries. Open the battery com-
partment of transmitter and insert the two "AAA" batteries.
The Turkey Fryer Remote Thermometer needs the receiver to register the radio frequency signal from the
transmitter.
Registering Receiver & Transmitter ( "Sync Up" )
1. Remove the battery compartment door of the transmitter
2. Plug the stainless steel probe sensor into the PROBE plug in of the transmitter.
3. Turn the Receiver on by sliding switch on the rear of the receiver from OFF to ON.
4. Turn Transmitter on by sliding switch on the rear of the transmitter from OFF to ON. This
needs to be done within 60 seconds of turning on the receiver in order for the receiver to
register the signal from the transmitter. If it doesn't beep within 5-10 seconds slide switch OFF
wait a few seconds and then switch back ON. Pressing and holding the TX button for 2 seconds
will do the same thing as turning transmitter OFF and then back ON.
5. Registration is complete when the unit beeps and the probe temperature appears where the
"—" was flashing.
6. Replace the transmitter battery door.
7. Snap the probe sensor mounting bracket onto the back of the transmitter.
Setting HI (Maximum) Oil Alert Temperature
1. Press HI to display the maximum oil alert temperature. The value will only be displayed for a
few seconds. Note: The default value from the factory is 370° F.
2. While the value is displayed press & hold HI for 2 seconds, the temperature value will flash.
3. Press HI to increase the alert temperature or press LO to decrease it. Note: The temperature
range is 140°F – 410°F
4. Once your desired HI alert temperature is reached don't push any buttons until the flashing
value disappears.
Note: Press HI to read (confirm) your set maximum alert temperature.
Setting LO (Minimum) Oil Alert Temperature
1. Press LO to display the minimum oil alert temperature. The value will only be displayed for a few
seconds. The default value from the factory is 330° F.
2. While the value is displayed press & hold LO for 2 seconds, the temperature value will flash.
3. Press HI to increase the alert temperature or press LO to decrease it. Note: The temperature
range is 32°F – 392°F
4. Once your desired LO alert temperature is reached don't push any buttons until the flashing
value disappears.

Helpful Hints
If the receiver displays LLL or HHH instead of the probe temperature, wait for probe to reach
room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed it is likely the internal probe has shorted out either
through moisture or heat damage.
If you lose the signal from the transmitter the receiver will display "---" instead of the oil temperature. You
may be too far from the transmitter. There may be too many Radio Frequency obstacles or other products
nearby transmitting on the same frequency. The frequency is 433 MHz. There may be electrical interfer-
ence.
Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
Do not allow the transmitter or probe to come into contact with flames.
If the temperature displayed seems to read too high or the temperature seems to increase too quickly
check to make sure the probe tip is not touching the turkey or side of the pot. Reposition the probe tip.
Cautions:
Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire after cooking. Do not
touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor away from children.
Clean the stainless steel probe and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
Do not use the receiver in the rain. The transmitter is water proof but not water tight. Do not immerse in
water.
Do not expose the plug of the stainless steel probe or the plug in hole of the transmitter to water or any
liquid. This will result in a bad connection and faulty readings.
Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
Cleaning
Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe or wire after cooking. Do not touch
with bare hands. The probe will be as HOT as the oil!
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor away from children.
Unplug the probe from transmitter and detach the probe mounting bracket from the back of the transmit-
ter.
Wash the metal probe with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the probe wire in water
while cleaning.
Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.
