it often. A weak battery will cause the unit to lose accuracy. Always dispose of exhausted batteries safely.

A food thermometer can assist in the proper preparation of food. However, use of this electronic device does not guard against unsafe food handling practices. Always follow proper food preparation techniques to limit the risk of food borne illness.

The stainless steel wire probe should not be exposed to oven temperatures exceeding 572˚F (300˚C).

If the temperature exceeds or falls below the measurable ranges, the LCD screen will display the following letters: HHH for temperatures above range and L L L for temperatures below range.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using the Cooking Thermometer

Clean the stainless temperature probe with hot water and soap and rinse clean. Do not submerge the probe and cable in water. The probe /cable connection is not waterproof.

Plug the temperature probe into the socket on the right side of the main unit.

Make sure the probe cable is free of knots. Make sure the sensor plug on the end of the cord is plugged into the base unit. (Note: if the probe is not plugged in properly or is crimped, the display will show LLL.)

Slide the switch on the back of the base unit to display the temperature in ˚F or ˚C.

Slide the mode selector switch to the cook position “ ”.

You will see two temperatures on the LCD display. On the left is the actual temperature reading as measured by the

-4-

temperature probe and on the right is the set temperature. The default reading is 212˚F

Set your desired cooking temperature by choosing Quick Temperature Setting or Manual Temperature Setting. (see Section Quick Temperature Setting and Manual Temperature

Setting)

Insert the tip of the temperature probe at least 5 cm/2” into the thickest part of the meat, but not near bone or gristle.

Place food into the oven. Before closing the oven door, make sure there is enough slack in the steel mesh cable to prevent the probe from being pulled out of the food when the oven door is closed. The base unit must be positioned outside of the oven on a stable surface and must be firmly connected to the temperature probe.

To prevent damage to the base unit, it should not be placed on a hot surface.

When the internal temperature of your food reaches the temperature you have set, an audible alert will sound. To stop the alert, either slide the mode selector switch to O or disconnect the temperature probe from the base unit and the alarm will stop within 30 seconds.

Before removing the food from the oven, disconnect the steel mesh cable from the base unit. Do not touch hot probe or wire with bare hands during or just after cooking. Always wear a heat-resistant glove.
