1. As a matter of safety, always position the
probe on the pot before filling it and/or
applying heat.
2. Insert the probe through both holes
in the attachment clip. Press the top
portion of the clip together for easier
sliding up the probe.
3. Push the clip down onto the side of
the pot and position it until the probe tip is just
above the bottom. Do not let the tip touch the
bottom of the pot.
Important: Keep sensor cable away from direct heat of
the cooktop burner — wires inside the cable may become
damaged.
4. Set the alert temperature as described in B4.
Candy temperatures are listed here for
easy reference.
Note: Clean the thermometer probe before each use.
Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN
HOT OVEN. IT IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. DO NOT USE
PROBE IN MICROWAVE OVENS.
Tip:
Meat should be allowed to “rest” for 10 to 15 minutes after
it is removed from oven. This allows time for the meat’s internal
temperature to stabilize and the juices to redistribute. This will
result in a roast that is both juicier and easier to carve.
Precautions
• Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the
stainless steel probe or sensor cable during or just
after cooking.
Do not touch with bare hands.
• Keep the battery, stainless steel probe and sensor
cable away from children.
• Clean the probe and dry thoroughly after use.
• Do not clean the case with abrasive or corrosive
compound, which may scratch the plastic and
corrode the electronic circuits.
• Do not subject the unit to excessive force shock,
dust, temperature or humidity, which may result in
malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged
battery and distorted parts.
• Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components.
Doing so will invalidated the warranty on the unit
and may cause unnecessary battery damage and
distorted parts.
• Do not subject the unit to excessive exposure to
direct sunlight. The unit is not waterproof — do
not immerse it into water or expose to heavy rain.
• Do not expose the sensor cable plug or the jack on
the case to water or any liquid, which will result in
a bad connection and faulty readings.
• To avoid deformation, do not place the unit in
extreme temperatures. Never burn the probe
directly over the fire. Do not use the probe when
the temperature is above 392°F/200°C. Doing so
will deteriorate the wire.
• Do not use the probe in a microwave oven.
• Always read the users manual thoroughly
before operating.

OIL TEMPERATURE GUIDE
325–375°F/163-190°C is the normal desired
temperature for deep fry cooking.
Note: When food is added to hot oil, the temperature of the oil
immediately drops at least 50°F/28°C. You will need to bring
the oil temperature back to the desired cooking temperature.
Frying at lower temperatures results in lighter color, less
flavor development and increased oil absorption.
Note: During the electrostatic discharge, the device may
malfunction. Please press any key to return to normal
operation.
