INSTRUMENT OPERATION - The
instrument is switched on by unfolding
the probe until the display shows the
temperature. The unit is turned off by folding
the probe back into the rubber probe retainer.
The probe should not be rotated more than
180 degrees as damage will occur. It is
recommended to store the probe, in the
closed position, when not in use.
Apply the tip of the probe to the substance, surface or area to be
measured. The probe should be allowed adequate time to stabilize to
the temperature of the item to be measured.
INSTRUMENT
CONFIGURATION - This
instrument has four user
selectable slide switches
(switch bank), adjustable with
a paperclip, and a single
push button ‘Trim Adjust’
which is located under the
battery cover.
Switch 1 - Display Units - Changes display units between °F
(factory default) and °C. To change to °C push the switch toward the
batteries.
Switch 2 - Resolution - To change the resolution from 0.1°F (factory
default) to 1°F push the switch away from the batteries.
Switch 3 - Auto-off - To disable the auto-off (factory default – 10
minutes) push the switch away from the batteries.
Switch 4 - Reading Trim - For normal use, we do not recommend
using the ‘Trim Adjust’. For further details visit www.thermoworks.

INSTRUMENT CLEANING - Clean the instrument regularly with
an anti-bacterial probe wipe to avoid potential food-borne bacteria
growth.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT - A battery symbol
indicates that the batteries will need replacing. The
instrument continues to measure accurately but
we recommend that the batteries be changed as
soon as possible. To replace the batteries, remove
the battery cover using a coin (U.S. nickel works
best). Remove the batteries by pulling the battery
retaining clip back while holding the unit upside down. Replace both
batteries, positive side up, replace cover.
ERROR MESSAGES - ‘Lo’ will be displayed if you are measuring
below the instrument’s range. ‘Hi’ will be displayed if you are
measuring above the instrument’s range. ‘Err’ will be displayed if
the probe develops a fault. If the error message remains, contact our
service department for further assistance.
EMC/RFI - Instrument performance may be affected if operated
within a high frequency radio field, such as near a mobile phone, or
if subjected to an electrostatic shock.
GUARANTEE - This instrument carries a one-year warranty
against defects in either components or workmanship. During this
period, products that prove to be defective will, at the discretion
of ThermoWorks, be either repaired or replaced without charge.
This warranty does not apply to probes, where a six-month period

by fair wear and tear, abnormal storage conditions, incorrect use,
accidental misuse, abuse, neglect, misapplication or modification.
