Thank you for purchasing the EatSmart

Precision Elite Food Thermometer.

Here at EatSmart we are primarily concerned with your
safety when using our products. Please read all instructions
thoroughly for proper cleaning, operation and handling of

your new thermometer, before rst use.

Prior to turning your unit on, please clean the metal stem
of your thermometer to ensure safe food handling. Gently
wipe the metal stem with warm, soapy water and dry
thoroughly to remove any excess moisture.

GENERAL OPERATIONS:

The EatSmart Precision Elite Food Thermometer housing
is constructed with a food-safe chemical compound that
inhibits the growth of bacterial mold/odor and minimizes
cross contamination.

HOLD

Button:

• The “HOLD” function allows internal temperatures to
be “held” on the display even when the thermometer is
removed from the food. This is helpful when checking
the temperature of food inside the hot oven. Press
“HOLD” to freeze the display and “H” will appear on the
LCD. Note: If you remove the probe without pressing
“Hold” the display temperature will continue to decrease
and you will get a lower reading.

• To release the held temperature, press the “HOLD” button
again.

CALIBRATION

Digital thermometers that have thermocouple sensor such as the
ESFT-02 seldom require recalibration or testing. The reason for
this is the long-term stability of the sensor. Your thermometer is
calibrated and tested for accuracy to meet the highest standards
at the factory. If you feel that your thermometer is not registering
properly or if the thermometer was dropped from a high distance,

calibration to a specic temperature can be completed by the

following procedure. It is recommended to recalibrate at 32°F
(0°C).

• Fill a container with cr ushed or chipped ice.

• Add water slowly until it overows.

• Add more ice until it is packed tightly to the bottom of the

container, allowing excess to overow.

• Insert the stem of the thermometer at least 2” into the
container and allow it to stabilize for 5 minutes. Note: It
is important that the tip of the thermometer not touch the
bottom of the container.

• If the temperature reading is 32°F (0°C), the thermometer is
accurately calibrated.

• If it is necessar y to adjust the thermometer, press and hold the
“CAL” button for 3 seconds. The display will show “CAL”.

• Within 3 seconds, press and hold the “HOLD s” and “°F/°C

t

” buttons at the same time for 5 seconds. The current

temperature blinks.

• Press the “HOLD s” or “°F/°C t” button to increase/decrease
the temperature by .5 degree increments.

• When the temperature reading is stable, the LCD will stop
blinking. Press “CAL” to accept and return to temperature
mode. The thermometer is ready for use.

• If the temperature reading is not stable, the reading blinks “Err”
3 times and returns to temperature mode. Repeat calibration
steps.

CAUTIONS

• Never leave thermometer in a hot oven or grill and for
longer than it takes to get a reading. The thermometer
is designed for instant temperature readings and is not
designed to be left in hot ovens or grills for any extended
period of time.

• Do not touch the hot thermometer probe with bare hands.

• Be sure to sanitize the stem before inserting it into another
food product.

• This product is not designed for use as an oven
thermometer. Do not leave in oven.

• The thermometer is not waterproof. DO NOT immerse
the thermometer unit in liquid, or pour liquid directly
on the thermometer unit, as doing so will cause damage
to internal components. If you spill liquid on it, dry it
immediately with a soft, lint free cloth.

• DO NOT wash in a dishwasher. This unit is not dishwasher
safe. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Grease or other hard-to
remove soil can be removed with a scouring pad. DO NOT
clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive materials.

• DO NOT use this thermometer in a microwave oven.

• DO NOT tamper with the unit’s internal components.
Other than replacing the batteries, the unit contains no
user- serviceable parts.

The thermometer sensor is located in the probe tip for a
quick response and accurate reading. When ready to test
the temperature, unfold the probe and insert thermometer
into the center of the food for an accurate temperature
measurement. There will be an immediate response and the
temperature will stabilize, in approximately 3-7 seconds.
When the temperature reading does not change for a few
seconds that will indicate the stable temperature has been
reached.

• Be sure to not hit a bone or gristle.

• Take care when moving the probe into position to avoid
injury.

• Best location is the thickest part of the food or in the
center.

• If your food is thin, insert the thermometer into the side
of the food.

Backlight Feature:

• A backlight for the readout will turn on for 60 seconds

when the thermometer is rst turned on, or for 15

seconds when “HOLD” is pressed.

• Manually turn on the backlight in 15 second intervals by
pressing the CAL button quickly while the thermometer
is on.

BATTERY INFORMATION

The thermometer operates on 2 AAA batteries (included). Change
the battery when the display becomes dim or when LCD shows
