Set up the grill
Place meat on the grill rack.
Insert 6” food probe sensor into the center of thickest portion of the meat. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat
areas.
Clip the 3” bbq probe to grill rack
Position the probe sensor wires so they will not come into contact with flames and exit the grill without being
pinched/ crushed by the cover.
Stand/ hang the transmitter away from heat source of grill. DO NOT put transmitter on closed cover or under
the cover. The transmitter is water proof for use in rain.
Helpful Hints
If the receiver and the transmitter display LL.L or HH.H instead of the probe temperature, wait for
probe to reach room temperature. If LL.L or HH.H is still displayed, it is likely the internal probe wire
has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.
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.
Cautions:
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.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensors and wires away from children.
Clean the stainless steel probes and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
Do not use the receiver in the rain. The transmitter is water proof but not water tight. Do not immerse in water.
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.
Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
Do not use stainless steel probes in microwave oven.
The Barbecue Thermometer registers temperatures as low as 14 ºF (-10 ℃) and as high as 572 ºF (300 ℃).
LL.L will be displayed below 14ºF and HH.H will be displayed above 572 ºF. Do not use the stainless
probe sensor above 572 ºF. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
Not Intended for Use by Persons ages 12 and Under.
