INTRODUCTION
Your Model RF-02 Digital Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer is the newest and most innovative electronic thermometer that accurately indicates the instant temperature of your refrigerator and freezer. It also computes and displays the weekly average temperatures for both. You can set weekly average temperature maximums. This is monitored and indicated by four small lights. Two green lights if the average weekly temperature for both your refrigerator and freezer are within the range of set maximum temperature +/- 3ºF and red if they are out of the range.
COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
• Remove the battery cover by sliding it off in the direction of the ribbed arrow and insert 2 - 1.5 Volt AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Snap battery cover door shut.
• The unit LCD will show HI for instant freezer & refrigerator temperatures and - - for average freezer & refrigerator temperatures. The two red lights will also be on.
• To set Average Freezer temperature maximum press the MODE button once. The SET icon will appear in the top of the LCD and the Average Freezer temperature will flash. While it is flashing press the SET button until the desired maximum temperature is displayed. The USDA recommends 0ºF. Do not touch any buttons for 3 seconds. Once the Average Freezer temperature stops flashing it is set. The Average Freezer SET range of the unit is –22ºF to 32ºF.
• Remove the mounting bracket from the unit. Remove the non-stick tape paper from the adhesive tape and stick the mounting bracket on the left wall of the refrigerator compartment near the top and front so it can be easily viewed when the refrigerator door is opened.
• Attach the unit on the mounting bracket and place the freezer probe wire in the freezer. Be careful not to pinch the wire in door hinge or any place else with a sharp edge. The wire should exit the refrigerator so it lies flat against the body of the refrigerator. There are two mounting clips with adhesive tape to help position the freezer wire and probe.
• Replace the batteries if the LCD becomes blurry.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The unit is powered by two replaceable 1.5 volt AAA extra heavy duty batteries which should last half year assuming the refrigerator door is opened an average of 20 times per day for 7 seconds each time. To replace batteries lift off the unit from the mounting bracket. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit and pull out used batteries noting polarity. Insert two new extra heavy duty AAA batteries.
HELPFUL HINTS
If the LCD only displays –22 –22 reset the circuit by removing the batteries, waiting a few minutes and then replacing.
The unit will take 30 minutes, after you put it in your refrigerator, to accurately measure the temperature.
Do not pull on the freezer probe wire.
Most authorities recommend your freezer be at 0ºF and your refrigerator be between 37ºF - 40ºF.
