Congratulations

The new Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen is a precision thermometer used for many ap-

plications including cooking. With proper care it will offer accurate measurements for many

years. The unit is splash-proof but should not be immersed.

Instrument Operation

The unit is switched on by unfolding the thermocouple probe

until the display comes on. Conversely, the unit is turned off

by folding the probe away and lightly pressing the tip into the

rubber probe retainer located at the bottom rear of the instru-

ment. It is recommended to store the probe when not in use.

Do not force the probe further than 180° or damage to

the rotating hub may occur.

The micro-thermocouple sensor is located at the tip of the probe shaft. Minimum immersion

is only 1/8" (3 mm). For best results immerse or penetrate the probe into the food item so the

probe tip is in the place you want to measure. In food, this should normally be the thickest

part.

The Thermapen will read to within 1°F of the final temperature

of an ice bath within three seconds. Reading times in other

foods may vary slightly.

Do not immerse the probe all the way to the plastic

rotating hub. Avoid getting flour, moisture or oil on

the hub itself. Although there is an O-ring seal, oils

will work their way past the seal and accumulate in-

side the hub and may cause failure. The probe tip is

sharp. Use caution to avoid injury. Do not “stab” the

material to be measured. Use steady force to pen-

etrate meats or semi-solids. Avoid bone. Do not lift or

flip heavy meats with the probe tip. The probe shaft

is hollow and contains a sensor. If bent, it may fail.
