The receiver willbeep and flash if your meat temperature goes above 160 ºF or the barbecue temperature fallsbelow 225 ºF or exceeds 250 ºF.
Helpful HintsIf 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 falsetemperature, squeeze the probe jacks harder into the transmitter and twist them back andforth so they make good contact. If the problem still persists it is likely the internal probe wirehas 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 addressand 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 tooquickly, check to make sure the probe tip is not poking through the food to outside. Reposition theprobe tip in the center of the thickest part of food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.Cautions:1)Always wear a heat resistantglove to touch the stainless steel probe sensors or wires duringorjust 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 receiverin the rain. It is NOT rain proof. The transmitter is rain proof but notwater tight. Do not immerse in water.5)Do not expose the plugs of the stainless steel probes orthe plugin holes of the transmittertowater or any liquid. This will result in a bad connecting and faulty readings.6)Do not expose the receiverortransmitterto direct heat or surface.7)Do not use stainless steel probes in microwave oven.8)TheBarbecueThermometerregisters temperatures as lowas 32 ºF(0ºC)and as highas572ºF(300 ºC). LLL will be displayed below 32 ºF and HHH will be displayed above 572 ºF. Do notuse the stainless probe sensor above 572 ºF. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.9) Not Intended for Use by Persons ages 12 and Under.Cleaning1)Always wear a heat resistantglove to touch the stainless steel probe sensors or wires duringorjust after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.2)Keepthe stainless steelprobe sensors and wires awayfrom children.3) Wash the metal probe tips with hot soapy waterand dry thoroughly.
