disc with an adhesive on one side. This allows the Kitchen
Thermometer
mini
to magnetically mount on a non-magnetic surface.
The magnetic disc has a protective cover on its face to protect it
from being scratched.
To mount your magnetic disc, please follow these steps below:
• Clean the surface thoroughly where the magnetic disc will be
adhered to ensure proper bonding.
• Remove the protective lm covering the adhesive on the magnetic
disc.

Probe Use
• Meat Probe Acceptable Temperature Range: -22°F to 572°F (-30ºC
to 300ºC)
• Pro Meat Probe and Pro Ambient Temperature Probe Acceptable
Temperature Range (sold on iDevicesinc.com): -22ºF to 620ºF (-30ºC
to 326ºC)
• The Meat Probe should always be inserted into the center of the
item being cooked for an accurate temperature reading.
• When using a standard Meat Probe, be sure to route the probe wire
where it will not be exposed to ames or temperatures exceeding
8
572° (300°C).
• The Pro Ambient Probe should be clipped between two grates
inside the oven. Ensure that the tip of the probe does not touch the
grates.

and is magnetic so that it can be stored under your Kitchen
Thermometer
mini
when not in use.
The colored probe indicator is for visual identication of the
probe within the app and cosmetic purposes only. It is not
designed for heat safety.
The probe should be cleaned by hand with a dishcloth,
standard dishwashing soap and warm water. The probe is
not dishwasher safe. Take precaution not to get the probe’s
wiring wet.
