Temperature Measurement
Correct Measurement Method
The temperature sensor is located at the end of the metal sheath of the sheath type temperature probe.
To accurately test internal temperatures, insert the probe to a distance of at least 15 times the diameter of
the sheath directly into the item you want to measure.
