BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Redi•Fork
® PRO is powered by two replaceable 1.5 volt AAA
super heavy duty batteries which should last for 1 year. To replace
batteries, switch the side "ON/OFF" button to "OFF" position, lift off the
battery cover on the rear of the unit and pull out used batteries noting
polarity. Insert two new extra heavy duty AAA batteries.
HELPFUL HINTS
The Redi•Fork
® PRO LCD receives temperature readings from the
sensory tip every three seconds. It may take 15-20 seconds for the
sensory tip to heat up during initial insertion into food. Once tip is warm
and multiple insertions are made into food the temperature response
will be quicker.
False readings can accidentally be obtained by touching bone or fat
pockets within food; by pushing the tips too far through the food, or not
in far enough. Take multiple readings to be sure.
Thin foods (under 1/2 inch) are very difficult to measure properly as
they tend to cook through fast. Always insert tips into thickest part of
food realizing thin sections will be cooked faster.

INTRODUCTION
Redi•Fork
® PRO is the newest and most innovative electronic food
thermometer that accurately indicates the doneness of cooked meats, fish
and poultry during the cooking process. The device measures the
temperature of the food through its sensory tip and electronically sends
this reading to the LCD display.
REDI•FORK ® PRO COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
• Press the "ON/AUTO" button to turn on the LCD and the LCD light or
simply insert the tips of the fork into meat and the unit will turn on
automatically when the internal temperature reaches 113ºF.
• Grasp the Redi•Fork ® PRO firmly with one hand and insert the tips (only
the right tip has sensor in it) into the center of the thickest portion of the
food (try to avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas). Hold in position for
a few seconds and watch as the temperature rises and the RARE, M
RARE, MEDIUM or WELL boxes beneath the FISH, RED MEAT (Beef
and Lamb), WHITE MEAT (Pork and Veal) and POULTRY (Chicken and
Turkey) icons light up (see example below). The boxes light up as the
temperature of the food reaches preset doneness ranges. These boxes
correspond to the doneness temperature chart below. Only one box per
food icon lights up. It is simple to check the preferred doneness level for
different foods easily by viewing the boxes beneath the appropriate food
icon.
• The unit has a flashlight to assist visual inspection of meat. The
flashlight is turned on by sliding the silver ON OFF switch in the
direction of ON.
• If the unit is off, the unit will turn on automatically when inserting into
food above 113ºF. The LCD will illuminate for 5 minutes and the LCD
light will illuminate the LCD for 10 seconds. Pressing ON/AUTO or SET
at any time will turn the LCD light on for 10 seconds at a time.
• If desired, insert the tips in different places to ensure that the
temperature is even throughout the food.
• The Redi•Fork ® PRO can be set to a specific temperature (within range
120ºF – 212ºF) by pressing the "SET" button. The temperature display
will flash. Press "SET" again to raise the temperature to doneness
temperature desired. Press and hold "SET" to raise the temperature
fast. Wait for several seconds for the temperature display to stop
flashing. The "SET" in box display will be on. Insert the tips into food.
When the food temperature reaches the set temperature the numerical
temperature display will flash and beep. Press "ON/AUTO" button to
clear the set temperature. The "SET" in box display will go off.
• Remove from food and clean according to instructions. Caution: After
use, allow the tips to cool for 60 seconds before touching.
The U.S.D.A. recommends the minimum internal temperature for ham
and fresh ground beef, veal, lamb, pork reach 160ºF to destroy harmful
bacteria like Salmonella and E. Coli. Beef, veal, lamb, fresh pork (roasts,
steaks, chops) and poultry must reach minimum internal temperature of
170ºF.
