HELPFUL HINTS
If the receiver and/or the transmitter display LLL or HHH instead of the probe tempera-
ture, 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.
Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
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.
Make sure the probe tip is inserted into the meat at least 1 inch.
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.
Cautions:
Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire
during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor and wire away from children.
Clean the stainless steel probe and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
Do not use the receiver or transmitter in the rain. They are not waterproof.
Do not expose the plug of the stainless steel probe or the plug in hole of the transmitter
to water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connection and faulty readings.
Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
Do not use stainless steel probe in microwave oven.

°F (210 °C). LLL will be displayed below 14 °F and HHH will be displayed above 410 °F.
Do not use the stainless steel probe sensor above 410 °F. Doing so will deteriorate the
wire.
