3. Press the °F/°C button inside the battery 

compartment to change the scale.

4. The 

°F

 or 

°C

 symbol changes on the display.

5. Replace the battery cover. 

Important: THE WATER RESISTANT FEATURE REQUIRES 

MAINTAINING THE RUBBER GASKET EVENLY WITHIN THE 

GROOVE.

6. Fasten the screws on the back by turning them 

clockwise, being careful not to over-turn.

C. LCD Backlight 

The backlight will turn on automatically for  
3 seconds when the TCTW572 is on.

D. Temperature Measurement  

Important: THE PROBE MAY BE DAMAGED IF MEASUREMENT 

TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN -58°F/-50°C OR HIGHER 

THAN +572°F/+300°C. 

Note:

 The TCTW572 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. 

E. Display Rotation 

The orientation of LCD display follows that of the 
TCTW572.

F.  Field Calibration 

1.  Fill a 1 cup measuring container with a slurry  

of ice water using 3 parts crushed ice to  
1 part water.  

Note:

 It is very difficult to get a 32°F/0°C ice water 

temperature. It will probably be closer to 34°F/1°C.

2. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes. 
3. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the 

screws on the back by turning them counter 
clockwise. 

Note:

 Be careful to use a properly-sized screwdriver as a 

screwdriver too large will strip the screwtops.

4. Remove the cover completely.
5. Immerse the probe into the middle of the ice 

slurry to a depth of at least 2 inches. 

Do not let 

the stem touch the bottom of container.

6. Press the CAL button inside the battery 

compartment. 

C0

 appears on the display for  

3 seconds and then shows current temperature.

7.  Press the CAL button again to calibrate to 

32.0°F/0°C.

8. 

CAL

 appears on the display for 5 seconds and 

then returns to the current temperature. 

Note:

 To avoid accidental recalibration, this function only 

works when the water temperature is 30 to 34°F/-1 to +1°C. 

Err

 will appear for 2 seconds if the water is not within this 

range and then return to the temperature display mode.

9. Replace the battery cover. 

Important: THE WATER RESISTANT FEATURE REQUIRES 

MAINTAINING THE RUBBER GASKET EVENLY WITHIN THE 

GROOVE.

10. Fasten the screws on the back by turning them 

clockwise, being careful not to over-turn.

G. Battery  Status 

1.  The display flashes when the voltage on the 

batteries is low.

2. “

--

” flashes on the display when the batteries 

need to be replaced.

H. Reset 

Press the RESET button in the battery 
compartment to reset the thermometer to factory 
defaults. 

Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN  

HOT OVEN. CASE IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. HAND 

WASH AND DRY. 
Note:

 Remove label from display before initial use.  

Clean the thermometer probe before each use. 

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.
