Maverick Ventures ET-41 - Manual

INTRODUCTION
The
Maverick BBQ Thermometer 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.
• The numerical temperature display can be changed from ºF to ºC or
ºC to ºF by pressing and holding the “ON/AUTO” and “SET” buttons
simultaneously for 3 seconds.
• The unit has an over temperature feature which beeps and flashes
“OVER” when food temperature is above 212ºF.
• The unit turns off after 5 minutes if no buttons are pushed and
temperature is below 113ºF.
• A “LOW BATTERY” indicator will appear when the battery strength is
weak and the battery needs to be replaced.
CLEANING AFTER USE
• Allow the tip to cool for 60 seconds before touching as they may be hot.
• Wipe with a damp, soapy cloth or sponge. Don’t use alcohol.
• Dry it. Make sure it is completely dry after cleaning.
• Caution- Do not place in dishwasher or immerse in any liquid.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The thermometer is powered by a replaceable 1.5 volt AAA extra heavy
duty battery which should last for 2 years. To replace battery, open the
battery cover on the back of the unit. Pull out used battery noting
polarity. Insert new extra heavy duty AAA battery.
HELPFUL HINTS
The thermometer LCD receives temperature readings from the straight
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 tip 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 tip into thickest part of
food realizing thin sections will be cooked faster.
COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Press the “ON/AUTO” button to turn on the LCD.
Grasp the handle firmly with one hand and insert the tip 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
temperture 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). 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.
If desired, insert the tip in different places to ensure that the
temperature is even throughout the food.
The thermometer can be set to a specific temperature (within range
120ºF – 212ºF) by pressing the “SET” button. The “SET” in box display
will be on. 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. 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 tip 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 160 F 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 170 F.
