If the receiver and / or the transmitter display LLL or HHH instead of the probe temperature,
wait for probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed or you get a false
temperature, squeeze the probe jacks harder into the transmitter and twist them back and
forth so they make good contact. If the problem still persists 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.
Within the warranty period, return defective probe to address below along with return address
and we will send you a replacement probe at 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.

Cleaning
Information to user
One Year WARRANTY
Replacement Probes
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 and every use.
4) Do not use the receiver in the rain. It is NOT rain proof. The transmitter is rain proof but not water
tight. Do not immerse in water.
5) Do not expose the plugs of the stainless steel probes or the plug in holes of the transmitter to
water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connecting and faulty readings.
6) Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
7) Do not use stainless steel probes in microwave oven.
8) The Barbecue Thermometer registers temperatures as low as 32 ºF (0 ºC) and as high as 572 ºF
(300ºC). LLL will be displayed below 32 ºF and HHH will be displayed above 572 ºF. Do not use
the stainless probe sensor above 572 ºF. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
9) Not Intended for Use by Persons ages 12 and Under.
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) Wash the metal probe tips with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the
probe in water while cleaning.
4) Wipe the transmitter and recei ver with damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.

a) The actual FOOD temperature has exceeded your set maximum FOOD temperature.
(The alert Beeps 3 times every second if the temperature is within 6oC or 10oF of the set
temperature and beeps 4 times every second once the set temperature is reached)
b) The actual BARBECUE temperature has exceeded your set maximum BARBECUE temperature.
(Beeps twice in every second)
c) The actual BARBECUE temperature has fallen below your set minimum BARBECUE
temperature.
(Beeps once in every second)
Note if you press the ALERT, ºC /ºF button and the actual probe temperature is above the FOOD set
