7. Press “Enter” to select the displayed meat type. The LCD screen
returns to the current temperature display. The name of the
selected meat appears above the temperature reading.
8. To test the internal temperature of the food, unfold the metal
probe and insert it into the 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
THERMOMETER IN THE OVEN WHILE COOKING, AND DO
NOT TOUCH THE HOT PROBE WITH BARE HANDS.
9. The current internal temperature of the food appears on the LCD
screen.
10. Color coded lights behind the Taylor® logo indicate if the current
temperature is lower, higher, or within 5 degrees of the target
temperature.
• If the temperature is lower than the target temperature, a blue
LED light flashes.
• When the temperature reaches the target temperature, a green
LED light flashes.
• If the temperature is higher than the target temperature, a red LED
light flashes.
(Note: the temperature must be within 30 degrees of the target tem-
perature for the LED lights to activate. Thus, the blue light may not
flash, even if the current temperature is lower than the target tem-
perature. The current temperature will still appear on the screen.)
11. When the food is ready, remove it from the oven with a heat
resistant glove. DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT PROBE OR FOOD
WITH YOUR BARE HANDS!
12. The LCD screen has a convenient backlight feature for easy
temperature viewing. While the unit is on, press the “°F/°C” but-
ton to turn on the backlight for 10 seconds.
13. Press and hold the “Enter” button for 3 seconds to turn the unit
off. Otherwise, the unit will turn off automatically after 10 minutes
if no buttons are pressed and there is no change in temperature.

Note: when the thermometer turns off, its memory will return to the
default setting “Beef Rare 140.0°F”. If the unit turns off before
cooking is done, repeat the Meat Selection steps listed above
to reprogram the desired target temperature.
14. Wash the metal probe with hot soapy water. Fold the probe into the
closed position for storage. Take care when moving the probe into
position to avoid injury or damage. Clean the thermometer unit by
hand. Do not completely immerse the thermometer in water.
