3. Super Fast Thermapen Operating Instructions l 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 unitis 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 atthe bottom rear of the instru ment Itis 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 Rotating hub 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 Minimum immersion 1 8 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
