THERMOMETER ATTACHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Be certain to tighten ONLY the brass nut on stem of thermometer. Do Not tighten top nut on stem.
If you tighten the top nut, the dial will also turn and the temperature calibration will be compromised.
There is a simple way to test a thermometer.
1. Insert thermometer stem into boiling water.
2. While wearing protective gloves, hold your thermometer by the dial and insert stem into boiling water.
The needle should quickly move around the dial and register approximately 212˚F (100˚C).
This indicates your thermometer is working. NOTE: Due to water evaporation, the maximum reading
on a thermometer in hot water test is 212˚F (100˚C). Hot cooking oil will send the temperature reading
above 212˚F (100˚C).
3. If the needle stops at a low temperature i.e. 180˚F; this indicates your thermometer is not working
properly. If so, discard the thermometer and call 1-800-864-6194 M-F 8am - 5pm CST for assistance.
Replacement thermometer Model #5070.
DO NOT attempt frying if thermometer is not working!
WARNING
Always use a thermometer when frying any food products. A thermometer is a sensitive measuring
device which may not work properly if dropped, bent, or twisted. Always check to be sure thermometer
is working properly before frying.
