HOW TO RECALIBRATE YOUR 

THERMOMETER

A bimetal Insta-Read

®

 dial thermometer may lose 

accuracy after years of use or after a particularly 
hard jolt. The hex nut on the underside of the 
thermometer is used to bring the thermometer back 
into calibration. First, you need a container of water 
at a known temperature – the closer to the mid-range 
the better. A fever thermometer is ideal for measuring 
the temperature of the water.

Making an Ice Slurry

1.  Fill a 1 cup measuring container with a slurry of ice 

water using 3 parts crushed ice to 1 part water.  

Note:

 It is very difficult to get a 32°F/0°C ice water temperature. 

It will probably be closer to 34°F/1°C.

2. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes. 

Using the Calibration Tool on Sheath

1.  Seat the hex nut on the thermometer into the 

wrench on the sheath.

2. Immerse the stem into the middle of the ice slurry 

or boiling water (212°F/100°C at sea level) to a 
depth of at least 3 inches. 

Do not let the stem 

touch the bottom of container.

3. Rotate the nut clockwise to increase the reading. 

Rotate the nut counter clockwise to decrease  
the reading.

4. Stop adjusting when the pointer indicates the 

temperature of the water.

Using Boiling Water

Boiling water (adjust for altitude above 1,000 feet*) 
can be used to recalibrate your thermometer.  

Please be cautious around boiling water.

*

Note: 

For every 500 feet of elevation, reduce the expected 

boiling point of water by 0.5°F/0.25°C.
