How do I use the thermometer

Click on the blue button. You can see a sort of arrow showing up indicating it is ready to measure the temperature. Put it in the ear. Take it off when you hear a beep sound. The LCD panel shows the recorded temperature. Normally, I repeat this for 3 times for accuracy.

I had trouble getting the cover off and returned it to Amazon, although I think the Gurmin is a quality product. Today, I got advice from someone who seems to have figured it all out. Too late for me, but it might help you. Here's the link: http://us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=3q9d9l1ftt1rg#mail

Simply remove the cover, place the end in your child's ear while gently pulling their ear up and back, press the blue button and wait for the beep.

Once you have removed the protective tape from the battery it is ready to use. All you need to do is remover the blue cover and insert gently into your ear then hold down the button until it beeps. Your temperature is digitally displayed. It will even turn itself off for you.

Take the blue cover peace off it and press the blue button once, when it reads you your last reading it will clear it self then put it to your childs inner ear, with small children you may have to tough the ear backwords and up just a tiny bit to get the best accurate reading, but this thing is gold, its super fast and will beap in a second or 2.

This is what the instrution manual with my observations inserted says' "Press on button (and hold) and insert into ear canal: hear beep (almost inaudible I never hear it but it only takes about 3 to 5 seconds), release button and remove. Read the temperature measurement. Hope this helps.

The thermometer is designed for outside temperature readings. The probe at the end of the cable must be placed outside of the interior. The manufacturer suggests a wheel well, or similar place. I put mine between the door and door jam near the hinge where the door wiring would be. This assures a temp reading not affected by engine compartment.

set up the thermometer towards the front of your oven door. Take it out quickly with a hot pad....and read. That should give a ballpark reading.

There is a dial on the top which allows for temperature adjustment, but in my opinion the temperature settings shown on the dial are not very accurate so you will definitely want a thermometer to verify that it is set properly.

This PCTL01 thermocouple is known to be a K type thermocouple. Using a well calibrated thermometer, dip its temperature sensor in ice water and make sure you read 0C or 32F. Then, do the same with the thermocouple you want to "calibrate" and see how close you are to this value. If you find the reading unacceptable, you should be able to calibrate your instrument (or electronic thermometer) this thermocouple is hooked up to. See your instrument's owners manual.

Make sure you pull out the clear plastic strip if there is one hanging out of the battery compartment. That keeps the batteries from being in contact with the unit while shipping. There is a sliding on/off switch on the side. Slide it on. On bottom, choose and set whether you want to read in Celsius or F. On top, choose and set whether you want a temperature beep (temp alert) when it gets to target temp. Left two buttons you set the time in hours and minutes. Right two buttons you adjust up or down your target temp. Bottom button starts or stops unit. Hope this helps, also you can always call kitchenaid help line. : )

This is not the type of thermometer that you leave in the oven with what ever your baking. With this type you have to open the oven once in a while and stick the probe in meatiest part to get the correct temp. After you get a reading you pull it out, turn it off and clean the metal probe, put it back in its sleeve and wait to use it again.

I uploaded a picture of how to convert it to Fahrenheit in "Customer Images". You can see it if you click on "Customer Images" to the right of the reviews area. In text: To convert this thermometer to Fahrenheit open it and find three small square pads on the circuit board. Connect the "inner" one (i.e. the one closer to the center of the board) and the pad in the middle together. Don't try to solder them it's far too difficult. Instead squish some foil into a ball and tape it in position.

Just a spatula and instructions. You do not need a temperature gauge really just look at it but you should buy ceramic discs

I never used it that way, but I suppose it could be an instant-read thermometer since it's meant to be inserted into the meat to get internal temp. FWIW, I never use this thermometer anymore and wish I had sent it back. Neither the meat end, nor the oven end are accurate in my Chargriller Akorn. I calibrated the temps using 3 other thermometers I have and this one was off way too far to be used.

I use a thermometer to check the temperature, and then I adjust the heat control as needed. I've found that the unit will accurately maintain the temperatures needed for my purposes.

You press the button--when the display comes on, you insert the probe. You do not have to continue to hold the button on to get the temperature.

First, you must get a digital thermometer. DO NOT trust the thermometer on this unit. Only digital thermometers are 100% accurate. You can get a cheap one here on http://amazon.com. The correct temperature should be 99.5 give or take ONE degree. Good Luck!

Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat you are cooking. Try to stay in the middle, without touching bone.

This does not have a built in thermometer. What you think is the built in thermometer is the heat setting. You need to twist the knob on top of the heater until the heat setting reads 79-80 degrees and then plug it in.

The thermocouples terminate with a small piece of exposed wire. It is this exposed wire that is used to measure the temperature. To get the best answer for your question please provide more specific information about what you are attempting to do.

If you go to the ThermoWorks website you can buy a probe specially-made for doing air temps. It includes a little bracket to help you attach it to a grill. It's less than $20. I'm thinking of getting one to test the temp of my oven. Hope that helps, Joe
