FOR THIN CUTS OF MEAT AND
GENERAL PURPOSE COOKING

C. 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.
Note: The DTL572 is intended for food service use —do not
use for safety related applications.
3. Insert the probe at least 0.25"/6.3 mm into the
food.
4. 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.
D. Hold Mode
Before withdrawing the DTL572 from the food, press the
HOLD/CAL button. This will “hold” the reading until
pressed again. h flashes in the upper left corner of the
display.
E. Max/Min Mode
Max/Min Mode is always working behind the scenes,
continually storing the highest and lowest
temperatures.
5. 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.
6. Press the MAX/MIN button to display the highest
temperature. H appears on the display.
7. Press the MAX/MIN button twice to display the
lowest temperature. L appears on the display.
8. The display automatically returns to the
temperature mode after a few seconds.
9. While in Max mode, press and hold the MAX/MIN
button to clear the MAX value. CLr. appears on the
display before returning to temperature mode.
10. While in Min mode, press and hold the MAX/MIN
button to clear the MIN value. CLr. appears on the
display before returning to temperature mode.
F. Field Calibration
1. Using the Scigical-2 https://www.scigiene.com/SCCAL-
2-Calibrator or Scigical-9
https://www.scigiene.com/SCCAL-9-Calibrator
thermometer calibrator you can precisely calibrate
your PT0572 thermometer using either model.
Note: It is exceedingly difficult to get a 32°F/0°C ice water temperature
using ice baths It will probably be closer to 34°F/1°C. This procedure
would then decalibrate this precise instrument
Please contact Scigiene about Scigiene Calibrators.
2. Press and hold the HOLD/CAL button. C0 appears on
the display for 3 seconds and then the current
temperature appears on the display.
3. Press the HOLD/CAL button again to calibrate to
32.0°F/0°C.
4. 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.
G. 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.
CARE OF YOUR PRODUCT
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Store the thermometer at room temperature
between -4 to +149°F/-20 to+65°C.
PRECAUTIONS
• 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.

325–375°F/163-190°C is the normal desired
temperature for deep fry cooking.
Note: When food is added to hot oil, the temperature of the oil
immediately drops at least 50°F/28°C. You will need to bring the oil
temperature back to the desired cooking temperature. Frying at
lower temperatures results in lighter color, less flavor development
and increased oil absorption.
