HELPFUL HINTS

Do not use the probe wire above 662 °F (350 °C).
Do not allow the probe or probe wire to come into contact with flames. If cooking with grill cover closed, only use medium or low heat.

If the LCD display LLL or HHH instead of the probe temperature, wait for probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed it is likely the internal probe wire has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.

If the probe becomes defective within 90 day warranty period please return defective probe to address below along with return address and we will send you new probe no charge.

If the temperature displayed seems to read too high or the temperature seems to increase too quickly check to make sure the probe tip is not poking through the food to outside. Reposition the probe tip in the center of the thickest part of food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.

Not Intended for Use by Persons ages 12 and under.
Do not use the UNIT in the rain. It is not waterproof.

Do not use stainless steel probe in microwave oven.

Cleaning
Wash the metal probe tip with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
