ThermoWorks Super-Fast Thermapen Operating Instructions

Super-Fast
Congratulations
The new Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen is a precision thermometer used for many ap-
plications including cooking. With proper care it will offer accurate measurements for many
years. The unit is splash-proof but should not be immersed.
Rotating hub
The micro-thermocouple sensor is located at the tip of the probe shaft. Minimum immersion
is only 1/8" (3 mm). For best results immerse or penetrate the probe into the food item so the
probe tip is in the place you want to measure. In food, this should normally be the thickest
part.

Operating Instructions

Instrument Operation
The unit is switched on by unfolding the thermocouple probe
until the display comes on. Conversely, the unit is turned off
by folding the probe away and lightly pressing the tip into the
rubber probe retainer located at the bottom rear of the instru-
ment. It is recommended to store the probe when not in use.
Do not force the probe further than 180° or damage to
the rotating hub may occur.
The Thermapen will read to within 1°F of the final temperature
of an ice bath within three seconds. Reading times in other
foods may vary slightly.
Do not immerse the probe all the way to the plastic
rotating hub. Avoid getting flour, moisture or oil on
the hub itself. Although there is an O-ring seal, oils
will work their way past the seal and accumulate in-
side the hub and may cause failure. The probe tip is
sharp. Use caution to avoid injury. Do not "stab" the
material to be measured. Use steady force to pen-
etrate meats or semi-solids. Avoid bone. Do not lift or
flip heavy meats with the probe tip. The probe shaft
is hollow and contains a sensor. If bent, it may fail.
