Helpful Hints
lf the receiver and / or the ironsmitfer disploy LLL or HHH insieod of the probe temperoture,
woit for probe to reoch room temperotuie. li rLl or HHH is still disployed or you get o folse
temperoture, squeeze ihe probe jocks horder into ihe tronsmitter ond twist them bock ond
forth so lhey moke good conloci. lf the problem still persists it is likely the internol probe wire hos
shorted out either ihrough moisture or heot domoge.
Do not immerse ihe probe in woter while cleoning.
Do not ollow the probe or probe wire to come into contocf with flomes.
wiihin the worronty period,. return defective probe to oddress below olong with return oddress
ond we will send you o replocemeni probe ot no chorge.
lf the lemperoture disployed seems io reod too high or the temperoture seems to increose ioo
quickly' check to moke sure the probe tip is not poking through fhe food to outside. Reposition
the probe tip in the center of ihe thickest pori of foodlAvoid-toucr,injoone or heovy fot oreos.
Cqulions:
1) Alwoys weor o heot resistont glove to iouch the stoinless steer probe sensors or wires during or
just ofter cooking. Do not iouch wiih bore honds.
2) Keep the stoinless sieel probe sensors ond wires owoy from children.
3) cleon the sfoinress steer probes ond dry thoroughry ofier eoch ond every use.
4) Do noi use the ri:ceiver in lhe roin. lt is NoT roin proof. The lronsmitter is roin proof but not woter
tighi. Do noi immerse in woter.
5) Do not expose the plugs of the stoinless steel probes or the plug in holes of the tronsmilter to
woter or ony riquid. This wirr resurt in o bod connecting ond fourty reodings.
6) Do not expose the receiver or tronsmitter to direci heot or surfoce.
Z) Do not use stoinless steel probes in microwqve oven.
B) The Borbecue Thermometer registers iemperotures os low os 32 "F (o.c) ond os high as 572oF
(300"c)' LLL will be disployed below 32 oF ond HHH will be disployed obove 572.F. Donot use
the sloinless probe sensor obove 572 "F. Doing so wiil deteriorote the wire.
9) Not Intended for Use by persons oges 12 onj und.r.
Cleoning
1) Alwoys weor o heot resistont glove to iouch the stoinless steel probe sensors or wires during or
