Current Temperature
1. Insert the narrow end of the temperature probe into the thickest part of the

inserted into the cavity of fowl.
2. Current internal temperature of the meat will show on the display.
3. When the current temperature of the food reaches the target temperature,
the thermometer will beep.
Be careful when touching the temperature probe and probe wire if it has been
in or near hot food or surfaces.
Time Left to Cook
Time Left to Cook estimates the amount of time food needs to cook. Cook time
is determined by measuring and monitoring the cooking process, then applying
a series of estimating methods.
Time Left to Cook is designed to work best with large oven roasted meats,
but can also be used for other cooking applications.
1. Turn the unit on and conrm desired settings including the Target
Temperature.
2. For optimum performance, probe should be inserted into the thickest part of
the meat and plugged in at the start of the cooking process. Do not remove
the probe or power the unit off during cooking. The LCD display may turn off
due to inactivity, but you can press and release the “POWER” button at any
time to resume operation.
3. Once cooking begins, the rising temperature automatically prompts the
thermometer to calculate estimated cook time. The display shows rotating
dashes during the calculation process. Once the internal food temperature
reaches 105°F (41°C), the calculation will be displayed.
4. When estimated time left to cook expires (or reaches 0:00), an audible beep
sounds on the thermometer. In most cases, time left to cook automatically
adjusts for changes in the cooking process, however the following actions
may impact its accuracy:
•Removing food from the oven
•Adding cool liquids to cooking food
•Changing the oven temperature during cooking
•Disconnecting or removing the probe during cooking
•In some cases, basting
If you feel Time Left to Cook estimation has been compromised, reset the
thermometer by pressing and holding the “POWER” button to power OFF and
press again to power back ON.
Backlight
Press and release any button to momentarily illuminate the display for
10 seconds. Press and HOLD the ◄ and ► buttons simultaneously for 5
seconds to keep display illuminated. Display will remain on until those steps are
repeated, or the batteries are removed.
