ThermoWorks TX-1100-XX CHEFALARM Calibration Instructions - Manual (Page 2)

Cautions:
The CAL feature will adjust the temperature up or down as much as 4°F. If your readings are off by more than that, there is a malfunction or your probe may be bad. If the sensor in the probe
is damaged by excess heat, it may read off by significantly more. This cannot be fixed with the CAL function and you will need a new probe.
Do not try to check your thermometer accuracy in food against your judgement of meat doneness or the reading of a dial thermometer or a cheaper digital thermometer. The only precise way
to test a thermometer’s accuracy is by using very expensive calibration lab equipment with a thermometer that is traceable to National Standards -OR- to use the ice bath method discussed
above. If your ChefAlarm reads accurately at 32°F, then you can be confident that it will read within tolerance at any temperature.

ChefAlarm display will change to “CAL” and then will display 0.0°F.
Press the Up or Down Arrows to increase or decrease this number for the amount you need to add or subtract from the reading noted in Step 1 so that your next ice bath
test is correct. In our example, you would want to add 0.6°F to ChefAlarm readings so you will hit the Up Arrow until the reading shows 0.6°F.
Step 3
Push the CAL button one more time and the offset amount will be saved to ChefAlarm. Now all readings will be 0.6°F higher than before the CAL
adjustment.
Step 4
Repeat the ice bath test in Step 1. You should be dead-on or within ±0.1°F.
