Introduction
The meat°it thermometer consists of a wireless probe, a docking station, a key to remove the
probe and a power cable.
This wireless thermometer is compatible with all hobs, including induction hobs. It can also be
used on barbecues, whether open or closed, and in ovens.
It is suitable for fast or slow cooking, from 5 minutes to 24 hours continuous wireless use.
The thermometer can be used on thinner pieces of meat at least 0.6’’ (15 mm) thick (burgers,
chicken llets, ribeye steak, etc.) or thicker cuts (shoulder, brisket, whole chicken, etc.).
The thermometer transmits each change in degree to the connected app almost instan-
taneously.
The thermometer is accessed and controlled from a phone or tablet via a Bluetooth connec-
tion.
The thermometer can detect two temperature levels:
1. The internal temperature, via a sensor located in the metal section (A)
2. The cooking speed, thanks to a sensor located in the ceramic section (B)
More than one thermometer can be controlled at the same time (up to 4 probes) using the
meat°it app.
The docking station (C) is used to store, protect and activate the wireless probe. It also re-
charges the battery in the probe. An LED light indicates the battery level. The key to remove
the probe (D) is located under the docking station.
DCBA
The meat°it probe is exclusively for domestic use when cooking meat or sh. It can be
used in the oven, frying pan, on a plancha grill or barbecue, and in a smoker.
Any other use is prohibited. Do not use in a microwave, steam oven or for pastry-making
in particular. Do not completely immerse the probe or put it in the dishwasher. To clean
the metal part, use running water with soap. The 2-year guarantee will be canceled
should dismantling or non-compliant use have taken place.

4. Frequently asked questions
1. What should I do if my probe is not detected?
Make sure that your Bluetooth is switched on and your probe is sufciently charged. Do these checks
near the probe. If your probe is not detected when inserted into your meat/sh, remove it using the
extractor key and try to re-start it using the docking station/activation. (See diagram p.4)
2. What should I do if my probe is out of range?
If the probe is out of range, an audible and visible alert will warn you. In this event, move closer to
the probe so that the app can connect automatically.
3. How do I monitor several cooking levels of meat with a single probe?
If all my pieces of meat are to be cooked to the same level, when one piece is ready they all are.
If different cooking levels are required, I would insert my probe into the piece requiring the most
cooking but set the app to the program for the least cooking. Once the rst cooking level is reached,
I would reset the cooking program to the remaining cooking level. E.g.: If I want one steak cooked
medium-rare and another well done: I would insert my probe into the steak that needs the most
cooking (well done) but would set my app to “beef – medium-rare”. Once the “medium-rare”
program is nished, I would take that steak off the stove and reset the app, selecting “beef – well
done”.
4. Do I have to pay for the app? No
5. Am I told when I need to turn over the meat?
NO. However, you can set a timer during the cooking program, so that you will get an alert on your
phone.
6. Does the probe work with induction hobs? In closed ovens? Closed barbecues? Yes
7. _What_temperature_is_it_resistant_up_to?_Is_it_ame_resistant?_ The meat°it probe is heat-re-
sistant for up to 3 minutes in contact with ames, or up to a temperature of around 1112°F (600°C).

9. How do I clean my thermometer? Can it go in the dishwasher? You can clean the thermo-
