5 in 1 Digital Thermometer
A versatile thermometer with pre-programmed temperatures to help you get
the very best results when roasting, barbequing, grilling, deep frying, or making
confectionary. Also includes a handy ‘manual’ function allowing you to program your
own target temperature, an oven temperature display and an intelligent roasting
feature to help with meal timing.
Please read this instruction manual before use. Keep these instructions for future
reference.
USING YOUR THERMOMETER
1. Press button to switch on.
2. Press button again to enter ‘set up’ mode.
3. Use the and arrows to cycle through the menu options:
Roasting
For measuring internal temperatures of meats, fish and poultry
when roasting, barbequing or grilling
Confection
For making jams, toffee, caramel etc
Frying
For measuring oil temperatures when
frying
Manual
For setting your own target
temperatures
4. Press to confirm your selection.
5. Continue to use the and arrows and button to select additional options
on screen. (At any time: press to navigate back to the previous screen.)
6. Fold out the stand and unwind the cord. Remove the cord/probe from the product
and insert the jack end into the front of the product. The thermometer is now
ready for use and will display the current temperature as measured by the thin
tip of the probe.
7. When the tip of the probe reaches the same temperature as the target
temperature the alarm will sound for one minute.
8. Press button to silence the alarm.
For meats, fish and poultry
Insert the tip of the probe into the centre (thickest part) of the meat/ food. For whole
poultry remove trussing and then insert into the thickest part of the thigh.
Ensure the probe is not in contact with bone, fat or gristle as this will affect the
validity of the reading.
The food can be cooked with the probe in place and the thermometer will monitor
the temperature continually until it reaches its target. Always keep the display unit
away from direct heat.
The display will show the oven temperature as well as the probe temperature.
When using the probe in an oven, carefully close the oven door onto the cord and
position the display unit near the oven with the cord out of the reach of children.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use in oven temperatures above 250°C/480°F.
Keep the cord end of the probe clear of the oven walls and heating elements.
Never place the display unit inside the oven or grill or on direct heat.
Never use the probe to lift or turn food items.
Intelligent Roasting Feature:
When using the probe for oven roasting, your thermometer will display a handy time
countdown as the meat nears its target temperature, helping you to better plan the
timings for the rest of your meal.
Initially, the display will show “- - - -“ in the Intelligent Roasting window. Part
way through cooking, the countdown time will appear and this will be continually
updated to reflect any fluctuations in oven temperature etc.
NOTE
When using low oven temperatures for slow roasting, the Intelligent Roasting
timer will not be activated until nearer the end of the cooking period.
For confectionary
The pan clip can be used to hold the probe in place in your confectionary (jam,
toffee, caramel etc). Position the tip of the probe in the liquid, away from the sides
and bottom of the pan. Position the display unit to the side of the cooker away from
the direct heat, ensuring that the cord is out of the reach of children.
Take care if stirring that you don’t dislodge the probe.
For deep frying
Use the probe as for confectionary (see above), placing the tip of the probe in the
oil. For safety reasons, it is recommended that the probe is removed from the oil
once a stable temperature has been reached, before adding food.
AFTER USE
• Always clean the probe thoroughly between each use. (See cleaning instructions
below)
• Pressing the button, then selecting
Edit
or
Clear
will allow you to change the target temperature
• To maximise battery life press and hold the button to switch off after use.
• Auto switch-off occurs 10 mins after idle.
TEMPERATURE CHARTS
At the back of this instruction book are charts showing all the pre-programmed
temperatures used by the thermometer. Choose government recommended USDA*
temperatures for safe preparation of meat, fish and poultry. Alternatively you may
choose to use the pre-programmed HESTON temperatures which coincide with
guidelines given in his many recipes. Heston’s temperatures are often slighter
lower and are specifically developed to give the best possible taste and texture
result for each food type. However, it is important to understand that if you choose
to use temperatures lower than the USDA guidelines, there may be a greater
health risk involved; particularly when cooking meat, poultry & fish. Use of fresh
ingredients and safe food handling is very important. The manufacturer accepts
no responsibility or liability for food borne illnesses which may occur from food
prepared using this product or temperature charts.
* USDA = United States Department of Agriculture, currently publishing the most
detailedrecommended guidelines.
RESTING MEATS
Once meat/poultry has reached its final temperature, always rest for a minimum of
3 minutes before carving/ serving. For really succulent meat that is easier to carve,
Heston recommends resting:
– Small cuts (eg: steaks, breasts & burgers) for
5 minutes.
– Larger cuts (eg: roast chicken & other roasting joints) for 30 – 45 minutes.
CHANGING BETWEEN °C / °F
CHANGING ALARM SOUND BETWEEN ON/OFF
1. Slide off and remove battery door.
2. Move switch to preferred setting.
3. Replace battery door.
CHANGING BATTERY
1. Remove battery door.
2. Insert new battery (2xAAA), en/- terminals are the correct way round.
3. Replace battery door.
