Ricardo 063129-004-0000 Digital Probe Thermometer Instruction Manual (+ PDF)

Clean probe with a damp cloth before use.
Do not place the main unit of the thermometer (part with LCD) into the oven or the BBQ. The main unit must always remain outside the oven and the BBQ or in an environment where the temperature is between 10 °C / 50°F and 50 °C / 122 °F.
The probe and wire will withstand heat up to 250 °C / 482 °F for short periods only. Never exceed this temperature.
The heat resistant wire allows usage on an OPEN BBQ only. When in use, always keep the BBQ lid open. Never use on maximum heat setting, use low to medium heat.
Always keep the wire and the probe away from flames, coals, oven elements, grill or oven racks. Improper use will lead to irreversible damages. The inner insulation could melt and thus prevent the probe from reading temperatures. This use is contrary to the instructions given in this manual and will void the probe warranty.
Avoid bending or twisting the wire, it may damage the connection inside.
CAUTION: The probe and wire will become hot while in use. Always wear heat resistant oven mitts when removing the probe from meat.
Do not pull on the wire, use the rounded part of the probe to remove it from meat.
For household use only.
