Instructions to use the Trim Adjust to tune your Thermapen calibration are found at the web
address shown above. You should not need to do this under normal use. A complete factory
re-calibration, including a certificate, is also available from ThermoWorks for a fee.
Batteries
Each unit includes two pre-installed CR2032 (3V) coin cell batteries located inside the sealed
battery compartment. An illuminated battery symbol indicates that the battery should be
replaced soon. The instrument will continue to measure accurately, but it is recommended to
replace the batteries immediately. Once the battery is too low to display readings, the display
will be replaced with ‘Flat’ then ‘Bat’ and then shut down. To continue using the instrument,
replace the batteries.
Replacing the Batteries
The batteries are pre-installed on your new Thermapen and
should last up to 1,500 hours. Should you need to replace the
batteries, remove the battery cover with a coin (a U.S. quarter
works best). The battery cover may be tight in order to main-
tain the Thermapen’s splash
resistance. Using firm but even
pressure, rotate the battery cover
only to the open position. Lift the
cover from the hole with a finger-
nail. Place both batteries with the
positive side up making sure that
the clip snaps over the batteries
to hold them in place. Replace the
battery cover.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To avoid potential bacteria growth and cross-contamination, wipe the probe after each use
and regularly clean the entire Thermapen body. Oils and grease should be wiped off the
body and the rotating hub. We recommend sanitizing wipes or a damp paper towel with an
anti-microbial cleaning solution. DO NOT IMMERSE THE THERMAPEN. The built-in seals will
protect the Thermapen from incidental moisture but due to the folding probe, the Thermapen
should not be submerged. Protect the plastic body from high temperatures. DO NOT LEAVE
THE THERMAPEN IN AN OVEN OR ON A HOT SURFACE.
Error Messages
•‘Lo’ is displayed if measurements are being made below the instrument range.
•‘Hi’ is displayed if measurements are being made above the instrument range.
•‘Err’ is displayed if the probe develops a fault. Call for details.

What is Biomaster?
Biomaster is a silver based antimicrobial additive incorporated into the Thermapen’s plastic
parts during manufacture. Biomaster helps reduce the growth of unwanted microbes on the
Thermapen’s surface that may cause degradation, discoloration or malodors.
The built in Biomaster protection works in conjunction with regular cleaning and sterilizing of
your Thermapen. The probe is not treated and should still be wiped after each use.
What is NSF Certification?
The NSF Mark indicates that the design, materials, production process and quality controls
used in the production of the Super-Fast Thermapen have been verified and certified for food
safety by NSF International, an independent standards organization.
Backlight Function (Backlit Thermapen only)
When the Thermapen is on, a new display sensor continuously monitors ambient light
levels. As it gets darker, the intelligent backlight comes on automatically so you can read the
