G. INSERTING THE PROBE
. Sterilize the metal probe with hot soapy water.
1
2. Insert point of thermometer probe into the thickest part of meat. Do not place near the
bone or gristle, as this will not give you an accurate temperature readout.
3. Put meat in oven with the metal probe in place. The electronic unit must be placed
outside of the oven. The probe wire will be held in place by the oven door.
4. Make sure the sensor plug on the other end of the wire is plugged into the thermometer.
The temperature of the food can now be seen on the display under COOKING TEMP.
H. AUTOMATIC ALARM WHEN FOOD IS DONE
When the cooking temperature reaches the alarm temperature, the alarm will sound until
the STOP button is pressed. If the STOP button is pressed but the ALARM SET is not
turned off, the alarm will sound again in 60 seconds and last for 5 seconds. The alarm will
repeat every 60 seconds until the
ALARM SET ON/OFF button is pressed.
NOTE: The cooking temperature will continue to read even after the alarm sounds.
I. CELSIUS OR FAHRENHEIT
Slide the ˚C or ˚F switch on the back of the unit to choose your desired temperature readout.
J. CAUTIONS:
1. Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the metal wire or probe during or just
after cooking. Do not touch wire or probe with bare hands.
2. Keep the metal wire and probe away from children.
3. Sterilize the metal probe before each use.
4. DO NOT expose the thermometer unit to water, direct heat or heat surface, or direct sun
light. If exposed to these elements, they may cause damage to the electronic circuit or
components inside.
5. DO NOT use this thermometer in a microwave oven.
6. Water drops or vapors inside the plug-in opening of the thermometer will result in bad
contact and thus incorrect temperature reading. Dry the sensor plug with a cloth every
time before plugging it into the thermometer.
7. DO NOT use the metal wire and probe for oven above 392˚F (200˚C) cooking
temperature. Doing so will only deteriorate the durability of the wire.
