HOW TO RECALIBRATE YOUR
THERMOMETER
A bimetal Insta-Read®dial thermometer may lose
accuracy after years of use or after a particularly
hard jolt. The hex nut on the underside of the
thermometer is used to bring the thermometer back
into calibration. First, you need a container of water
at a known temperature – the closer to the mid-range
the better. A fever thermometer is ideal for measuring
the temperature of the water.
Making an Ice Slurry
1. Fill a 1 cup measuring container with a slurry of ice
water using 3 parts crushed ice to 1 part water.
Note: It is very difcult to get a 32°F/0°C ice water temperature.
It will probably be closer to 34°F/1°C.
2. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes.
Using the Calibration Tool on Sheath
1. Seat the hex nut on the thermometer into the
wrench on the sheath.
2. Immerse the stem into the middle of the ice slurry
or boiling water (212°F/100°C at sea level) to a
depth of at least 3 inches. Do not let the stem
touch the bottom of container.
3. Rotate the nut clockwise to increase the reading.
Rotate the nut counter clockwise to decrease
the reading.
4. Stop adjusting when the pointer indicates the
temperature of the water.
Using Boiling Water
Boiling water (adjust for altitude above 1,000 feet*)
can be used to recalibrate your thermometer.
Please be cautious around boiling water.
*Note: For every 500 feet of elevation, reduce the expected
boiling point of water by 0.5°F/0.25°C.
