SETTING THE SELECTED FOOD TEMPERATURE:
The unit is programmed with pre-set temperatures for 7 types of meats. These temperatures are
recommended by both major cookbooks and the USDA for food safety.
The chart of the selected temperatures is as follows:
TO SELECT A SPECIFIC TYPE OF MEAT: Press the button marked “MEAT” and scroll through the
selection until the type of meat (BEEF, VEAL, CHICKEN, ETC) shows on the LCD (display).
TO SELECT YOUR OWN PREFERRED TEMPERATURE: Once you have selected a temperature and
food selection – for instance BEEF –RARE – you can customize the temperature setting by using
the HR/▲ sign to increase the temperature setting or the MIN/▼ to reduce the temperature
setting.
Temperature Alerts formats
In the THERMOMETER MODE, when the set temperature is reached, the receiver will alert you by
beeping 3 times a second. The probe temperature will blink along with the alert sound. At the
same time the alert icon will flash. To cancel the alert press any button on the unit.
See below examples of what the LCD will look like:

Helpful Hints
If the receiver and / or the transmitter display LLL or HHH instead of the probe temperature, wait
for probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed, it is likely the internal probe
wire has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.
Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
Do not allow the probe or probe wire to come into contact with flames.
If the temperature displayed seems to read too high or the temperature seems to increase too
quickly, check to make sure the probe tip is not poking through the food to outside. Reposition
the probe tip in the center of the thickest part of food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.
Cautions:
1. Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensors or wires during or
just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
2. Keep the stainless steel probe sensors and wires away from children.
3. Clean the stainless steel probes and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
4. Do not use the receiver in the rain. It is NOT rain proof. The transmitter is rain proof but not
water tight. Do not immerse in water.
5. Do not expose the plugs of the stainless steel probes or the plug in holes of the transmitter to
water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connecting and faulty readings.
6. Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
7. Do not use stainless steel probes in microwave oven.
8. The Food Thermometer registers temperatures as low as 32 ºF (0 ºC) and as high as 572 ºF (300
ºC). LLL will be displayed below 32 ºF and HHH will be displayed above 572 ºF. Do not use the
stainless probe sensor above 572 ºF. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
9. Not Intended for Use by Persons ages 12 and Under.
Cleaning
1. Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensors or wires during or
just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
2. Keep the stainless steel probe sensors and wires away from children.
3. Wash the metal probe tips with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the
probe in water while cleaning.
4. Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.
