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. BioCote®
technology gives the water resistant housing constant,
built-in antimicrobial protection, providing a nish that
helps prevent microbes from growing on the surface.
The display features extra big digits and can be backlit
for low light conditions.
The TCT572 offers Minimum and Maximum modes.
Minimum mode displays the lowest temperature
among multiple readings. Maximum mode displays
the highest temperature among multiple readings.

on the top by turning it counter clockwise.
3. Pull side panel completely out.
4. Install two CR2032 batteries observing polarity
shown in compartment.
5. Replace the battery cover.
Important: THE WATER RESISTANT FEATURE REQUIRES
MAINTAINING THE RUBBER GASKET EVENLY WITHIN
THE GROOVE.
6. Fasten the screw on the top by turning it clockwise,
being careful not to over-turn.
Operating Instructions
A. On/Off
1. Press the POWER button to turn
the thermometer on.
2. The TCT572 will automatically turn off after
10 minutes of inactivity.
3. Press the POWER button again to turn the
thermometer off and conserve battery life.
B. Temperature Scale
To select temperature reading in Fahrenheit or
Celsius:
1. Press the °F/°C button to change the scale.
The °F or °C symbol changes on the display
and a beep sounds.
C. LCD Backlight Thermometer
1. Press the LIGHT button to turn the backlight on
2. The backlight will stay on for 5 seconds.
D. Temperature Measurement
Important: THE PROBE MAY BE DAMAGED IF MEASUREMENT
TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN -58°F/-50°C OR HIGHER
THAN +572°F/+300°C.
Note: The TCT572 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.
E. Maximum Mode
1. Press the MAX/MIN button once. MAX appears
on the display along with the last highest/
maximum temperature.
2. To clear the MAX/MIN reading, Press the MAX/
MIN button once, then press the CLEAR button.
“–––” appears on the display.
F. Minimum Mode
1. Press the MAX/MIN button twice. MIN appears
on the display along with the last lowest/
minimum temperature.
2. To clear the MAX/MIN reading, Press the MAX/
MIN button twice, then press the CLEAR button.
“–––” appears on the display.
G. Recalibration
1. Place the stem into a mixture of 3 parts ice and
1 part water.
2. Press the OFFSET button for 2 seconds and until
the beep sounds. The display will animate and
display 0.0 ° F/ ° C .
3. Press the OFFSET button repeatedly as needed
to offset the factory calibration from -3.2 °F/
-2.0 °C to +3.2 °F/+2.0 °C.
H. Battery Status
1. When the voltage on the battery is low,
LO ashes on the display along with the battery
status icon and numbers may blink.
2. The thermometer beeps when the battery needs

not the case.
I. Reset
1. Press the RESET button to reset the thermometer
to factory defaults.
Note: Clean the thermometer probe before each use.
Important: DO NOT LE AVE 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 inter fere with digital thermometers. If there is
interference, briey turn off the induction cook top 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.
