Perfect for thin cuts of meat, sh or poultry. Simply
ip down the rapid-response thermocouple probe and
insert it into food as thin as 1/8-inch. The display
features extra big digits backlit in white for low light
conditions and automatically rotates 180° for easy
reading regardless of the hand in which it is held.
Note: Remove sticker from display before use.
Note: In the following instructions, names of the
control buttons are shown in CAPS. Function
information that appears on the display is shown
in BOLD CAPS.
Battery Installation
Replace batteries when LCD becomes dim or the
LOW BATTERY ICON ( ) appears on the display.
1. Power off the unit before installing the batteries.
A malfunction may occur if the power is on when the
batteries are being installed.
2. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the
screws on the battery cover on the back by turning
it counter clockwise.
3. Install two 1.5V AAA batteries observing polarity
shown here.
4. Replace the battery cover.
5. Fasten the screws on the battery cover on the back
by turning them clockwise, being careful not
to over-turn.
Note: Use only new batteries of the correct size. Never mix
old and new batteries. Never mix rechargeable and nonrechargeable batteries. Used batteries should always be
removed, as they may leak chemicals which may damage
the circuits of the thermometer.
Operating Instructions
A. On/Off
1. Pull the probe out to turn the thermometer on.
2. Push the probe back to turn the thermometer off
and conserve battery life.
B. Auto-Off
The DTF572 automatically turns off after
3 minutes of inactivity.
Note: This function is disabled at a temperature of
104°F/40°C or above.
C. Temperature Scale
To select temperature reading in Fahrenheit
or Celsius:
1. Press the °F/°C button on the back for
3 seconds to change the scale. The °F or °C
symbol changes on the display.
D. Display Orientation
The display rotates automatically according to the
orientation of the thermometer.
E. Temperature Measurement
Important: THE PROBE MAY BE DAMAGED IF
MEASUREMENT TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN
-40°F/-40°C OR HIGHER THAN +572°F/+300°C.
Note:
The DTF572 is intended for food service use —
do not use for safety related applications.
1. Flip down the probe until fully extended.
2. Insert the probe at least 0.25"/6.3 mm into the
food.
3. The current cooking temperature appears on the
display.
4. Wearing a heat resistant glove, ip the probe
back into the case when nished.
Important: DO NOT TWIST THE PROBE OR ROTATE IT
IN WRONG DIRECTION. EXCEPTIONAL STRESS ON
PROBE MAY CAUSE IT TO BREAK.
CAUTION: Probe may be HOT af ter use. Always wear a
heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe
during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare
hands.
F. Battery Status
1. When the voltage on the battery is low,
the LOW BATTERY ICON ( ) appears on
the display.
Note: Clean the thermometer probe before each use.
Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN HOT
OVEN. CASE IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. HAND WASH AND
DRY. DO NOT IMMERSE HOUSING IN LIQUID.
Note for Induction Cooktops: Sometimes, the induction
cooktop magnetic eld may interfere with digital
thermometers. If there is interference, briey turn off the
induction cooktop to get a digital thermometer reading or
use a dial thermometer.
Tip: Meat should be allowed to “rest” for 10 to 15 minutes
after it is removed from oven. This allows time for the
meat’s internal temperature to stabilize and the juices to
redistribute. This will result in a roast that is both juicier and
easier to carve.
Care of Your Product
• Do not submerge any par t of the thermometer
case in water.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Store the thermometer at room temperature
between 32 to 104°F/0 to 40°C.
Precautions
• Do not touch with bare hands — always wear heat
resistant gloves to touch the probe during
or after cooking.
• Dispose of used batteries promptly and keep the
batteries and thermometer away from children.
• Always read the user manual thoroughly before
operating.
• Avoid subjecting the probe or thermometer
to an open ame on the BBQ.
• Avoid submerging the probe past the junction (where
the probe meets the case) or the case itself. The
junction and/or case are not waterproof.
• Avoid subjecting the probe and/or thermometer
to temperatures over 572°F/300°C.
• Clean the probe and thermometer with warm soapy
water and dry thoroughly after use.
• Avoid cleaning the unit with an abrasive or corrosive
compound, which may scratch the plastic par ts and
corrode the electronic circuits.
• Avoid subjecting the thermometer to excessive force,
shock, dust, temperature, direct sunlight or humidity.
This may result in thermometer malfunction, shorter
electronic life span, battery damage and/or distort
parts.
• Avoid tampering with the thermometer’s internal
components, which may cause battery damage and
distort parts.
• Avoid immersing case into water or exposure to
heavy rain. The case is not waterproof.
• Do not use the thermometer in microwave oven.
