a) TheactualFOODtemperaturehasexceededyoursetmaximumFOODtemperature.
 (ThealertBeeps3timeseverysecondifthetemperatureiswithin6oC or 10 F of the set
temperatureandbeeps4timeseverysecondoncethesettemperatureisreached)
b) TheactualBARBECUEtemperaturehasexceededyoursetmaximumBARBECUEtemperature.

ºF, to activate the alarm. The unit will NOT beep or ash even if the actual BARBECUE
temperature is below 220 ºF. It assumes that your BARBECUE is not up to temperature. Only when

Helpful Hints
Ifthereceiverand/orthetransmitterdisplayLLLorHHHinsteadoftheprobetemperature,
waitforprobetoreachroomtemperature.IfLLLorHHHisstilldisplayedoryougetafalse
temperature,squeezetheprobejacksharderintothetransmitterandtwistthembackand
forthsotheymakegoodcontact.Iftheproblemstillpersistsitislikelytheinternalprobewirehas
shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.
Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
Donotallowtheprobeorprobewiretocomeintocontactwithames.
Withinthewarrantyperiod,returndefectiveprobetoaddressbelowalongwithreturnaddress
and we will send you a replacement probe at no charge.
If the temperature displayed seems to read too high or the temperature seems to increase too
quickly,checktomakesuretheprobetipisnotpokingthroughthefoodtooutside.Reposition
theprobetipinthecenterofthethickestpartoffood.Avoidtouchingboneorheavyfatareas.
Cautions:
1) Alwayswearaheatresistantglovetotouchthestainlesssteelprobesensorsorwiresduringor
justaftercooking.Donottouchwithbarehands.
2) Keepthestainlesssteelprobesensorsandwiresawayfromchildren.
3) Cleanthestainlesssteelprobesanddrythoroughlyaftereachandeveryuse.
4) Donotusethereceiverintherain.ItisNOTrainproof.Thetransmitterisrainproofbutnot
water tight. Do not immerse in water.
5) Donotexposetheplugsofthestainlesssteelprobesorthepluginholesofthetransmitterto
water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connecting and faulty readings.
6) Donotexposethereceiverortransmittertodirectheatorsurface.
7) Donotusestainlesssteelprobesinmicrowaveoven.
8) TheBarbecueThermometerregisterstemperaturesaslowas32ºF(0ºC)andashighas572ºF
(300ºC).LLLwillbedisplayedbelow32ºFandHHHwillbedisplayedabove572ºF.Donotuse
the stainless probe sensor above 572 ºF. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
9) NotIntendedforUsebyPersonsages12andUnder.
Cleaning
1) Alwayswearaheatresistantglovetotouchthestainlesssteelprobesensorsorwiresduringor

2) Keepthestainlesssteelprobesensorsandwiresawayfromchildren.
3) Washthemetalprobetipswithhotsoapywateranddrythoroughly.Donotimmersethe
probe in water while cleaning.
4) Wipethetransmitterandreceiverwithdampcloth.Donotimmerseeitherinwater.
