General Cooking Procedures
1. Preheat the grill or oven to desired cooking temperature. Place
the food in the oven or grill.
2. Sterilize the metal probe by inserting it into
an appropriate solution such as boiling water for several minutes.
Make sure the sensor plug on the end of the cord is plugged into
the thermometer base unit. (Note:if the probe is not plugged in
properly, the display will show “LL.L”.)
3. Insert the metal probe into the thickest part
of the food to be cooked. Do not come in
contact with bone, fat or gristle, as these
areas will not provide accurate temperature
readings.

place by the oven door. Be careful not to crimp the probe cord
with the oven door or grill lid. Note: If cooking on a grill, be sure
the grill lid does not crimp the cord – the lid should be open
enough to allow space for the cord. The cord should not come
into direct contact with cooking surface or flame.
