Please read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.

1. Sterilize the thermometer stem by inserting it into an appropriate solution such as boiling water for several minutes.

2. Press the “Ent” (Enter) button to turn the thermometer on. The upper display shows the current temperature. The lower LCD shows dash- es.

3. The thermometer is set to measure temperature in Fahrenheit. Press the “F/C” button to switch to Celsius.

4. Press the “Ent” button to access the Candy/Food Selection screen. The lower LCD screen displays a food type and a target temperature for that particular food. The target temperature digits will flash, indi- cating the unit is in Candy/Food Selection mode.

5. Press the “+” or “-” button to scroll through the candy/food types and their preprogrammed temperatures. (See the temperature chart towards the end of the manual for preprogrammed cooking tempera- tures).

6. Press “Ent” to select the displayed food. The temperature digits will stop flashing.

7. Use caution while handling the thermometer to avoid burns or other injury. Always wear a heat-resistant glove when touching the ther- mometer during or after use. Do not use a wet or damp cloth. DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS!

8. Clip the thermometer on the side of the pan. The thermometer tip should be at least 2 1/2" into the liquid. Do not let the tip of the stem touch the bottom of the pan. Take care when moving the thermome- ter stem into position to avoid injury or damage.

9. When the liquid has reached the programmed temperature, the unit will begin to beep.
