Calibration
The thermometer comes with a Calibration feature. In most cases, the
thermometer was calibrated precisely at our manufacturing facility, and
generally you do NOT need to calibrate the thermometer. However, after a long
period of use and you believe that the temperature reading displayed by the
thermometer is not accurate, you may follow the process below to re-calibrate
the thermometer:
1. Use distilled or purified water to make ice cubes in your refrigerator;
2. Get a thermal insulated bottle. If you don’t have one, use a beaker or a regular
cup;
3. Fill the bottle with ice cubes (no less than 70% of the volume), then top off with
cold distilled or purified water (no greater than 30% of the volume);
4. Stir the mixture and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the ice and water to reach
its temperature equilibration;
5. Turn on the thermometer and hold the LOCK/CAL button for 5 seconds to enter
Calibration mode. CAL will begin flashing for a few seconds and then the
current temperature reading will begin to flash which means the thermometer
is in Calibration mode;
6. Immerse the probe in the ice/water mixture and make sure not to touch the
sides of the container. Wait till the temperature reading drops to its lowest
value, which should be around 32°F or 0°C. If the temperature of the ice/water
mixture is not within 28°F to 36°F (or -2°C to +2°C), the calibration can’t be
continued: you will need to follow the above steps to re-make the ice/water
mixture;
7. Hold the LOCK/CAL button for 3 seconds to confirm the calibration and exit
the Calibration mode.
Note:
The Calibration mode will only last for 15 seconds. If you’re unable to finish the
calibration within 15 seconds, the thermometer will automatically exit
Calibration mode.
Undo-Calibration
If you want to undo the calibration and go back to the default calibration setting,
please follow the below steps:
1. Turn on the thermometer and hold the LOCK/CAL button for 5 seconds to enter
Calibration mode;
2. When you see temperature reading begins flashing, press and hold the Light
button for 3 seconds. The temperature reading will stop flashing and the
calibration is set to the default setting.
Helpful hints
When measuring multiple or different foods and meats, it may be desirable to
cool the probe by rinsing the tip with cold water between readings.
It is recommended that you wipe the probe tip clean between readings. This is
especially important when taking readings from different foods and meats.
The thermometer is designed for temporary, hand held use. Do not use in an
oven. Do not leave inserted in extremely hot foods or liquids (anything over
572°F) for more than 1 minute.

Always take your reading in the thickest available portion of meat. Thin
portions of meat are difficult to measure because they tend to cook through
fast. Avoid touching bone. If the tip touches the bone or heavy fat area of the
meat, or if the tip is not deep enough, take a second reading to ensure
accuracy.
Not intended for use by persons ages 12 or under.
Care of your thermometer
Do not touch the stainless portion of the thermometer during or right after
measuring temperatures since it will be hot.
Do not leave exposed to extreme high or low temperatures as this will damage
electronic parts and plastics.
Do not leave the thermometer inserted in food during cooking.
