Probe Thermometer
Perfect for roasting or grilling. Simply insert the
probe 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.
For oven testing, the DTTC samples the variance of
internal temperatures and displays the maximum
and minimum temperatures reached. It’s also great
for alerting properly chilled temperatures.
Timer
Count up or down with this big digit timer. Timing
repetitive tasks is easy with the last count recall,
and avoid confusion with the distinct sound on
the timer alarm.
Clock
Choose from a 12-hour or 24-hour clock while
the running seconds provide easy reference for
short tasks.
Note: Remove sticker from display before use.
Note: In the following instructions, names of the control
buttons are shown in CAPS. Function information that appears
on the display is shown in BOLD CAPS.
Battery Installation
Replace battery when LCD becomes dim and weak
or alarm level declines.
1. Lift off the battery cover at the back of the unit.
2. Install 1.5V AAA battery observing polarity
shown in compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover until it clicks shut.
4. LO will be displayed under THERMO when
the probe/sensor cable is disconnected or
malfunctions.

E. Digital Thermometer
Press the ALERT button until oFF displays
under TEMP SET to operate only as a digital
thermometer. The temperature is displayed under
THERMO.
F. Temperature Alert – Upper Limit
1. Insert the probe at least 1" (2.5 cm) into the
meat; making sure that it is not inserted into a
fatty deposit.
2. Gently close the oven door on the sensor cable
and insert the plug into the jack on the left side
of the case.
3. Press the ALERT button until the Upper Limit
icon ( ) ashes under TEMP SET.
4. Press the UP or DOWN button to set the
desired temperature. The alarm will sound
when the probe temperature reaches the set
temperature — 30 seconds every minute —
until START/STOP is pressed.

the food.
2. Press ALERT until the Lower Limit icon ( )
ashes under TEMP SET.
3. Press the UP or DOWN button to set the
desired temperature. The alarm will sound
when the probe temperature reaches the set
temperature temperature — 30 seconds every
minute — until START/STOP is pressed.
H. Candy Thermometer
1. As a matter of safety, always position the
probe on the pot before lling it and/or
applying heat.
2. Insert the probe through both holes
in the attachment clip. Press the top
portion of the clip together for easier
sliding up the probe.
3. Push the clip down onto the side of the pot and
position it until the probe tip is just above the
bottom. Do not let the tip touch the bottom
of the pot.
Important: Keep sensor cable away from direct heat of
the cooktop burner — wires inside the cable may become
damaged.
4. Set the temperature alert for Upper Limit as
described in Section F. Candy temperatures are
listed on the back of the case for easy reference.
I. Oven MAX/MIN Test
During use, an oven thermostat will cycle the
oven on and off to maintain the temperature at
which the control knob is set. Some ovens will
experience a wide temperature deviation while
others may have tighter regulation. For roasting
this is not critical. However, for baking it is critical
to know how hot the oven gets while trying to
maintain a temperature of, for example, 350º F.
1. Position the probe in the center of the oven.
2. Gently close the oven door on the sensor cable
and insert the plug into the jack on the left side
of the case.

3. Press the OVEN MAX/MIN button once to
display MAX under THERMO.
4. Press START/STOP button to clear the
memory. Three dashes (– – –) appear
on the display.
5. Let the oven cycle on and off at least two times.
6. Press OVEN MAX/MIN again to read the
highest temperature the oven had reached
(MAX).
7. Press OVEN MAX/MIN again to read the lowest
temperature the oven had reached (MIN).
Note: Clean the thermometer probe before each use.
Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN
HOT OVEN. CASE IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT.
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.
Precautions
• Always wear heat resistant gloves to touch the
stainless steel probe sensor or wire during or just
after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
• Keep the battery, stainless steel probe and sensor
cable away from children.
• Clean the sensor probe and dry thoroughly after use.
• Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive
compound, which may scratch the plastic and
corrode the electronic circuits.
• Do not subject the units to excessive force shock,
dust, temperature or humidity, which may result in
malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged
battery and distorted parts.
• Do not tamper with the unit’s internal component.
Doing so will invalidated the warranty on the unit
and may cause unnecessary damaged battery and
distorted parts.
• Do not subject the units to excessive exposure to
direct sunlight. 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.
• To avoid deformation, do not place the unit in
extreme temperatures. Never burn the steel probe
directly over the re. Do not use the stainless steel
probe sensor when the temperature is above
392°F/200°C. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
• Do not use the probe in microwave oven.
• Always read the users 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.
