ThermoWorks TX-1100-XX CHEFALARM Calibration Instructions - Manual

ChefAlarm

TRIM Function Guide
This is the only cooking alarm on the market that allows a calibration adjustment. New from the factory, ChefAlarm will read within ±1.8°F even after changing probes. So you should never
really need to use the CAL feature. However, you can fine-tune the calibration for accuracy better than ±1°F with a specific probe.
The CAL function allows adjustment of the reading at a single temperature. The readings will then be “offset” by the adjusted amount across the whole range of the thermometer. For best
accuracy across a wider range, we recommend making the adjustment in an ice bath (32.0°F).
In order to make an accurate adjustment, you need a very stable and accurate reference temperature. The only precise way to do this outside of a calibration lab is to use a properly prepared
ice bath. Go to www.thermoworks.com/learning/thermapen101_creating_an_icebath.html for instructions on getting this just right.
Step 1
Turn ChefAlarm on and immerse the probe into the ice bath and gently stir. When the temperature is stable and no longer changing,
note the final reading. It should be close to 32°F. However, it may be low or high by several tenths of a degree or even one or two
whole degrees. If, for example, the reading is 31.4°F, then you are reading low by 0.6°F.
Step 2
Press and HOLD DOWN the CAL button for a count of 5 seconds.
