Usage recommendations

For accurate results, calibrate and check the probe periodically against a reference thermometer, insert the probe into the center of the food, and avoid immersing the main unit in liquids. Keep the probe cable clear of open flames and sharp edges; allow the probe to cool before cleaning and clean the probe with warm soapy water or a suitable food-safe disinfectant.
