Operating and Ambient Temperature Range
The food safety thermometer is designed to operate in environments between 0 °C – 50 °C (32 °F – 122 °F). Avoid subjecting the unit to extreme or abrupt changes in ambient temperatures. Allow the unit to stabilize for a minimum of 30 minutes if exposed to rapid temperature changes. Failure to precondition the instrument to the ambient temperature may result in measurement errors (Figure 11).
