thickest part of the food. Do not come in contact
with bone, fat or gristle, as these areas will not
provide accurate temperature readings. Take care
when moving the probe into position to avoid
injury or damage. DO NOT LEAVE THE
THERMOMTER IN THE OVEN WHILE COOKING,
AND DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT PROBE WITH
BARE HANDS.
5. The current internal temperature of the food
appears on the LCD screen.
6. Hold Feature: When the digital display has been
stabilized, press the "Holds" button and the
temperature will be held (the letter "H" will
appear). Press again to release.
7. Backlight Feature: A backlight will turn on for
60 seconds when the unit turns on, or for 15
seconds when the “Hold” is pressed. Manually
turn on the backlight for 15 seconds by pressing
CAL button quickly while the unit is on.
8. Clean the thermometer casing by hand. Do not
immerse the thermometer in water. Be sure to
sanitize the stem before inserting it into another
product.
Calibration
Digital thermometers that have a bead type
thermistor sensor such as the model 9867 seldom
require recalibration or testing. The reason for this is
the long-term stability of the thermistor sensor.
Nevertheless, if it is desirable to calibrate to a
specific temperature the following procedure is
recommended if recalibrating at 32°F (0°C).
1. Fill a container with crushed or chipped ice.
2. Add water slowly until it overflows.
3. Add more ice until it is packed tightly to the
bottom of the container, allowing excess to
overflow.
