7.Press “Enter” to select the displayed meat type. The LCD screen returns to the current temperature display. The name of the selected meat appears above the temperature reading.
8.To test the internal temperature of the food, unfold the metal probe and insert it into the thickest part of the food. Do not come in contact with bone, fat or gristle, as these areas will not provide accurate tem- perature readings. Take care when moving the probe into position to avoid injury or damage. DO NOT LEAVE THE THERMOMETER IN THE GRILL OR OVEN WHILE COOKING, AND DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT PROBE WITH BARE HANDS.
9.The current internal temperature of the food appears on the LCD screen.
10.Color coded lights behind the Taylor® logo indicate if the current temperature is lower, higher, or within 5 degrees of the target temper- ature.
•If the temperature is lower than the target temperature, a blue LED light flashes.
•When the temperature reaches the target temperature, a green LED light flashes.
•If the temperature is higher than the target temperature, a red LED light flashes.
(Note: the temperature must be within 30 degrees of the target tempera- ture for the LED lights to activate. Thus, the blue light may not flash, even if the current temperature is lower than the target temperature. The current temperature will still appear on the screen.)
11.When the food is ready, remove it from the grill or oven with a heat resistant glove. DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT PROBE OR FOOD WITH YOUR BARE HANDS!
