How do I synchronize/pair the transmitter and receiver?

The transmitter and receiver were already paired at the manufacturing facility. Usually you do NOT need to re-synchronize or re-pair the units. You just plug in the probes, insert batteries, turn on the receiver and the transmitter and wait for a few seconds, you will see the temperatures shown on both receiver and transmitter and the units are ready for use. However, in some unusual cases, the transmitter and receiver are no longer paired, then you may need to re-synchronize them by following the below steps: a. Insert two AAA batteries into the receiver, the signal icon on the display will flash. b. Insert two AAA batteries into the transmitter, insert the stainless steel probes into the corresponding plugs in the transmitter. The LCD display will show the current temperatures of each probe. c. Hold the button for three seconds on the receiver to enter the synchronization mode . d. Wait for a moment until the temperature reading shows on the receiver display, it means the synchronization/Pairing is completed. Your professional remote cooking thermometer is now ready for use.

---

What should I do if the receiver and/or the transmitter do not show the temperature?

Wait for the probe to reach room temperature. Push the probe jacks harder into the transmitter and twist them back and forth so they make good contact. If the problem persists, it is likely the internal probe wire has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.

---

What should I avoid doing with the probe?

• Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
• Do not allow the probe or probe wire come into contact with flames.

---

What should I do 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. Re-position the probe tip in the center of the thickest part of food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.

---

What are some cautions I should take when using the thermometer?

1. Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless-steel probe sensors or wires during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
2. Keep the stainless-steel probe sensors and wires away from children.
3. Clean the stainless-steel probes and dry thoroughly after each use.
4. Do not expose the plugs of the stainless-steel probes or the probe sockets of the transmitter to water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connection and faulty readings.
5. Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth.
6. Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat.
7. Do not use stainless steel probes in a microwave oven.
8. The Probe Thermometer registers temperatures as low as 14 °F (-10°C) and as high as 572 °F(300 °C). Do not use the stainless probe sensor above 572 °F. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
9. Not Intended for use by persons aged 12 and under.

How do I clean the thermometer?

• Always wear 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.
• Wash the metal probe tip with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning
• Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.
