into the food. Place the food in the oven or barbecue
and close the oven door (or grill cover) directly over
the sensor cable. Set the temperature alert for USDA
safe cooking temperatures — listed on the back of
the case! Both the set and actual temperatures are
displayed during cooking.
Oven Mode
For oven testing, the DSP1 measures the ambient
temperature of the oven simultaneously and offers
distinct alert sound when the set oven temperature
is reached.

G. Error Messages
The DSP1 incorporates visual diagnostic messages
as follows:
1. HI indicates that the probe temperature is higher
than 572°F/300°C.
2. LO indicates that:
a. the probe temperature is lower than 32°F/0°C,
b. the sensor cable is disconnected, or
c. the probe is malfunctioning.
3. Should the display appear incorrectly, turn off
and on to reset the thermometer.
Note: Clean the thermometer probe before each use.
Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN
HOT OVEN. IT IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. DO NOT USE
PROBE IN MICROWAVE OVENS.
Important: ONLY THE PROBE CAN BE SUBMERGED IN
LIQUID. THE PROBE/SENSOR CABLE CONNECTION IS
NOT WATERPROOF.
Note for Induction Cooktops: Sometimes, the induction
cooktop magnetic eld may interfere with digital
thermometers. If there is interference, briey 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.
CARE OF YOUR PRODUCT
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Store the thermometer at room temperature
between -4 to +149°F/ -20 to +65°C.
PRECAUTIONS
• Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the
stainless steel probe during or just after cooking.
Do not touch with bare hands.
• Dispose of used batteries promptly and keep
the batteries, stainless steel probe and sensor
cable away from children.
• Clean the probe and dry thoroughly after use.
• To avoid deformation, do not place the unit in
extreme temperatures. Never burn the probe
directly over the re. Do not use the probe when the
temperature is above 536°F/280°C. Doing so will
deteriorate the wire.
• Clean the probe and sensor cable with warm soapy
water and dry thoroughly after use. The unit is
not waterproof — do not immerse it into water or
expose to heavy rain.
• Do not expose the sensor cable plug or the jack on
the case to water or any liquid, which will result in a
bad connection and faulty readings.
• Avoid cleaning the unit with an abrasive or corrosive
compound, which may scratch the plastic parts and
corrode the electronic circuits.
• Avoid subjecting the thermometer to excessive
force, shock, dust, temperature, direct sunlight
or humidity. This may result in thermometer
malfunction, shorter electronic life span, battery
damage and/or distort parts.
• Avoid tampering with the thermometer’s internal
components, which may cause battery damage
and distort parts.
• Do not use the thermometer in microwave oven.
• Always read the user manual thoroughly
before operating.

OIL TEMPERATURE GUIDE
325–375°F/163-190°C is the normal desired
temperature for deep fry cooking.
Note: When food is added to hot oil, the temperature of
the oil immediately drops at least 50°F/28°C. You will need
to bring the oil temperature back to the desired cooking
temperature. Frying at lower temperatures results in lighter
color, less avor development and increased oil absorption.
