or heavy fat areas. Make sure the probe tip is inserted into the meat at least 1 inch.
4. Position the probe sensor wire so they will not come into contact with flames and exit
the grill surface area without being pinched/crushed by the grill cover.
5. Stand/hang the transmitter away from heat source of grill. DO NOT put transmitter on
closed cover or under the cover.

ture remains above the set temperature. The alert stops when the probe temperature
falls below the set temperature.
11.Turn off grill. Remove the probe sensor from steak. Always wear a heat resistant glove
to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire during or just after cooking. Do not
touch with bare hands.
12.Clean the stainless steel probe and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
13.Turn off the transmitter.
HELPFULHINTS
If the receiver and/or the transmitter display LLL or HHH instead of the probe tempera-
ture, wait for probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed 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 flames. If cooking with
grill cover closed. Only use medium or low heat.
Make sure the probe tip is inserted into the meat at least 1 inch.
Return defective probe to address below along with return address and we will send you
new probe 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:
Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire during
or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor and wire away from children.
Clean the stainless steel probe and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
Do not use the receiver in the rain, It is not waterproof.
Do not expose the plug of the stainless steel probe or the plug in hole of the transmitter to
water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connection and faulty readings.
Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
Do not use stainless steel probe in microwave oven.
The Redi Chek® Remote registers temperatures as low as 14oF(-10oC) and as high
410oF(210oC). LLL will be displayed below 14oF and HHH will be displayed above 410oF. Do
not use the stainless steel probe sensor above 410oF. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
Cleaning
Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire during or
just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor and wire away from children.
Wash the metal probe tip with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the probe
in water while cleaning.
Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.
