BUTTONS. Refer to “Sake’s various serving temperatures chart” right side, and set your desired temperature in
accordance with the chart. (Press button continuously for fast setting.

● SETTING TEMP. data can be stored even after power is turned off.

● When pressing "+" and "-" BUTTONS at the same time, SETTING TEMP. data will return to 50°C of the initial value as reset.

● If measured temperature is upper than or lower than SENSOR PROBE -50°C ~ +300°C use range DISPLAY is blinking.

B) How to sound the alarm when the temperature drops:

Example 2) When the hot water is 60°C and room temperature is 20°C. Want to sound when it drops to 40°C.

2) measure temperature
of hot water.

2) measure the Sake
temperature.

3) make sure the water temperature
is higher than SETTING TEMP., then set
the alarm to 40°C by “SET/STOP” BUTTON.

4) when the measured temperature

is dropping to equal or lower than

40°C starts sounding the alarm.

A) How to sound the alarm when temperature is raised:

is lower than SETTING TEMP., then set
the alarm to 50°C by “SET/STOP” BUTTON.

Example 1) When the Sake is 10°C and room temperature is 20°C. Want to sound when it becomes at 50°C.

1) set SETTING TEMP. to 50°C
by “+” or “-“ BUTTONS.

5) stop the alarm by
pressing “+“, “-“ or
“SET/STOP“ BUTTONS.

alarm function is released.

It does not sound an alarm even if the MEASURED
TEMP. is higher than SETTING TEMP.

C) How to sound the alarm when want to keep below a certain temperature:

Example 3) When the measured product is 40°C and room temperature is 20°C. Want to keep to not 45°C or above.

Alarm sounding time is about 1 minute. If continues to sound the alarm more than one minute in 4) stage, the alarm stops while ALRM MARK is blinking. Measured temperature
in this state is becoming to lower than SETTING TEMP. ALARM MARK is lit and an alarm mode will continue.

Alarm sounding time is about 1 minute. If continues to sound the alarm more than one minute in 4) stage, the alarm stops while ALRM MARK is blinking. Measured temperature
in this state is becoming to higher than SETTING TEMP. ALARM MARK is lit and an alarm mode will continue.

repeat the operation of 4)~5) then keep
the object as not to 45°C or above.

D) How to sound the alarm when want to keep higher a certain temperature:

Example 4) When the measured product is 55°C and room temperature is 20°C. Want to keep to not 50°C or lower.

4) when the measured temperature
is 50°C following announcement
sounding the alarm.

5) When the temperature
