screws on the battery cover on the back by turning
it counter clockwise.
3. Install two 1.5V AAA batteries observing polarity
shown here.
4. Replace the battery cover.
5. Fasten the screws on the battery cover on the back
by turning them clockwise, being careful not
to over-turn.
Note:
Use only new batteries of the correct size. Never mix
old and new batteries. Never mix rechargeable and non-
rechargeable batteries. Used batteries should always be
removed, as they may leak chemicals which may damage
the circuits of the thermometer.

orientation of the thermometer.
E. Temperature Measurement
Important: THE PROBE MAY BE DAMAGED IF
MEASUREMENT TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN
-40°F/-40°C OR HIGHER THAN +572°F/+300°C.
Note:
The DTF572 is intended for food service use —
do not use for safety related applications.
1. Flip down the probe until fully extended.
2. Insert the probe at least 0.25"/6.3 mm into the
food.
3. The current cooking temperature appears on the
display.
4. Wearing a heat resistant glove, flip the probe
back into the case when finished.
Important: DO NOT TWIST THE PROBE OR ROTATE IT
IN WRONG DIRECTION. EXCEPTIONAL STRESS ON
PROBE MAY CAUSE IT TO BREAK.
CAUTION:
Probe may be
HOT
after use. Always wear a
heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe
during or just after cooking.
Do not touch with bare
hands.
F. Battery Status
1. When the voltage on the battery is low,
the
LOW BATTERY ICON
( ) appears on
the display.
Note:
Clean the thermometer probe before each use.
Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN HOT
OVEN. CASE IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. HAND WASH AND
DRY. DO NOT IMMERSE HOUSING IN LIQUID.
Note for Induction Cooktops:
Sometimes, the induction
cooktop magnetic field may interfere with digital
thermometers. If there is interference, briefly turn off the
induction cooktop to get a digital thermometer reading or
use a dial thermometer.
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.
Care of Your Product
• Do not submerge any part of the thermometer
case in water.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Store the thermometer at room temperature
between 32 to 104°F/0 to 40°C.
