Probe Mode
To measure the internal temperature of an
object, extend the probe
(see Figure 4)
and
press the MODE button until the Probe Icon is
displayed
(see Figure 5)
. Insert the probe at
least 12mm (1/2") into the target and press
the ON button to measure the core tempera-
ture.
The Probe Icon on the display will blink for
approximately 15 seconds as the probe comes
to equilibrium with the object being measured.
Three short beeps will sound to indicate the
reading is complete and the temperature will
be shown on the display. When the highest
accuracy is required, it is advisable to repeat
the measurement cycle to insure the probe
has fully stabilized and reached equilibrium
with the object.
Note:
Remember if the display blanks the
mode button will recall the last measurement.
Note:
The probe tip must be sterilized before
and between measurements of food samples
to avoid cross contamination.
Countdown (Timer) Mode
The food safety thermometer has a built in
countdown timer to conveniently monitor cook-
ing, cooling, and critical exposure times, as
well as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points
(HACCP*) inspection intervals. HACCP princi-
ples and good food safety practices require
monitoring the length of time perishable foods
