I. Temperature Alerts

1. Slide the ALERT switch on the back of

the remote to select BEEP (audio) or VIB

(vibration) alert.

2. Pre-alert sounds 5°F/3°C before the target alert

temperature is reached. The pre-alert beeps

1 beep every second and

PRE-ALERT flashes

on the base station display. On the remote, the

pre-alert beeps or vibrates 1 beep/vibration

a. the probe temperature is lower than

32°F/0°C,

b. the sensor cable is disconnected, or
c. the probe is malfunctioning.

2. If the remote is out range or does not

Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN

HOT OVEN. IT IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. DO NOT

ATTACH TO HOT BARBEQUE. DO NOT USE PROBE IN

MICROWAVE OVENS.
Important: ONLY THE PROBE CAN BE SUBMERGED IN

LIQUID. THE PROBE/SENSOR CABLE CONNECTION IS

NOT WATERPROOF.
Note on Induction Cooktops:

The induction cooktop’s

magnetic field may interfere with digital thermometers. If this

happens, 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.

USDA Meat Temperature Guide

To ensure food safety the USDA specifies guidelines

for internal cooking temperature of different types

of meat as indicated in the guide below. Please note

that some pre-programmed settings differ from these

temperature requirements.

Note:

Pre-programmed temperatures may be too well done

for some recipes or personal tastes. Use the custom program

feature (

Section H) if a lower temperature is desired. Meats will

continue to cook (internal temperature will continue to rise)

after being removed from the oven. To avoid overcooking and

depending on the personal taste, you may wish to remove meat

from the oven when the PRE-ALERT sounds.

Note:

Use the custom program feature (

Section H) to adjust the

pre-programmed temperatures.
