• This probe is for measuring the temperature of meat and poultry. For measuring oven
temperature, we recommend the BIOS Professional DT160.
• DO NOT submerse the probe in water. Moisture inside the probe's plug or
the thermometer might cause an incorrect temperature reading. Always wipe
the probe's plug dry before plugging it into the thermometer.
• DO NOT expose probe or probe wire to open flames of barbeque. Doing so can
deteriorate the probe.
