D. Temperature Measurement
Important: THE PROBE MAY BE DAMAGED IF MEASUREMENT
TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN -40°F/-40°C OR HIGHER THAN
+572°F/+300°C.
1. Insert the probe at least 0.25"/6.3 mm into the
food.
2. The current cooking temperature appears on the
display.
CAUTION: Probe may be HOT after use. Always wear a heat
resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe during or just
after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
E. Data-Hold
Before withdrawing the PT0572 from the food, press the
HOLD/CAL button. This will “hold” the reading until
pressed again. hflashes in the upper left corner of the
display.
F. Max/Min Mode
Max/Min Mode is always working behind the scenes,
continually storing the highest and lowest temperatures.
1. Before using Max/Min Mode, clear the stored
MAX/MIN values by pressing and holding the
MAX/MIN button in Max or Min mode to clear
the respective stored MAX/MIN value.
2. Press the MAX/MIN button to display the highest
temperature. H appears on the display.
3. Press the MAX/MIN button twice to display the
lowest temperature. L appears on the display.
4. The display automatically returns to the
temperature mode after a few seconds.
5. While in Max mode, press and hold the
MAX/MIN button to clear the MAX value.
6. While in Min mode, press and hold the MAX/MIN
button to clear the MIN value.
G. Field Calibration
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 exceedingly difficult to get a 32°F/0°C ice water temperature.
It will probably be closer to 34°F/1°C. Please contact Scigiene about
Scigiene Calibrators.
2. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes.
3. Immerse the probe into the middle of the ice
slurry to a depth of at least 2 inches. Do not let
the stem touch the bottom of container.
4. Press and hold the HOLD/CAL button. C0
appears on the display for 3 seconds and then
the current temperature appears on the display.
5. Press the HOLD/CAL button again to calibrate to
32.0°F/0°C.
6. CAL appears on the display for 5 seconds and
then returns to the current temperature.
Note: To avoid accidental recalibration, this function only
works when the water temperature is 30 to 34°F/-1 to +1°C. Err will
appear for 2 seconds if the water is not within this range and then
return to the temperature display mode.
H. Battery Status
1. The display flashes when the voltage on the
batteries is low.
2. “---” flashes on the display when the batteries
need to be replaced.
Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN HOT
OVEN. CASE IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. HAND WASH AND
DRY.
Note: Remove label from display before initial use. Clean the
thermometer probe before each use.
Note for Induction Cooktops: Sometimes, the induction
cooktop magnetic field may interfere with digital thermometers.
If there is interference, briefly turn off the induction cooktop to
get a digital thermometer reading or use a dial thermometer.
Tip: Meat should be allowed to “rest” for 10 to 15 minutes after
it is removed from oven. This allows time for the meat’s internal
temperature to stabilize and the juices to redistribute. This will
result in a roast that is both juicier and easier to carve.
•Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
•Store the thermometer at room temperature
between -4 to +149°F/ -20 to +65°C.
•Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the
stainless steel probe during or just after cooking.
Do not touch with bare hands.
•Dispose of used batteries promptly and keep the
batteries and thermometer away from children.
•Avoid subjecting the probe or thermometer to an
open flame on the BBQ.
•Avoid subjecting the probe and/or thermometer
to temperatures over 572°F/300°C.
•Clean the probe and thermometer with warm
soapy water and dry thoroughly after use.
•Avoid cleaning the unit with an abrasive or
corrosive compound, which may scratch the
plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuits.
•Avoid subjecting the thermometer to excessive
force, shock, dust, temperature, direct sunlight,
or humidity. This may result in thermometer
malfunction, shorter electronic life span, battery
damage and/or distort parts.
•Avoid tampering with the thermometer’s internal
components, which may cause battery damage
and distort parts.
•Do not use the thermometer in microwave oven.
•Always read the user manual thoroughly before
operating.
