User Manual for AcuRite 01185 Meat Thermometer with Wireless Display

Quick Start Guide

The AcuRite Meat Thermometer with Wireless Display allows you to monitor meat and ambient temperatures remotely. To begin, remove the protective film from the screen. Install 2 AAA batteries in the thermometer base and 3 AAA batteries in the wireless display. Plug the temperature probes into the base. Use the F/C switch in the battery compartment of the base to select your preferred temperature units.

Device Overview

The system consists of a wireless display and a thermometer base. The base features color-coded probe plug-ins for the meat and ambient temperature probes. The wireless display shows target temperature, meat type, doneness level, and estimated time left to cook.

Setup and Operation

Meat Type and Doneness

When the wireless display is powered on, the meat type will flash. Use the arrow buttons to cycle through presets (Beef, Veal, Chicken, Pork, Poultry, Lamb, Fish, Custom, or Boil). Press SET to save. Once the meat type is selected, the doneness level will flash. Cycle through available options (Rare, Medium Rare, Medium, Medium Well, Well Done) and press SET to save. Note that not all meat types offer all doneness options.

Target Temperature

The target temperature is automatically set based on the meat type and doneness selection. You can manually adjust the target temperature by pressing the arrow buttons after selecting the meat type and doneness, then pressing SET.

Ambient Temperature

Use the ambient temperature probe to monitor oven, grill, or smoker temperatures. Attach the probe clip to the cooking grate and thread the probe through the top of the clip. Keep the probe cord away from food at all times.

Time Left to Cook

The device estimates remaining cook time based on the cooking process. For best results, insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat at the start of the cooking process. The calculation will appear once the internal temperature reaches 105°F (41°C).

Troubleshooting

If you encounter errors, check the following diagnostic codes:

• E1: Probe cord is not connected to the wireless display. Verify the connection is secure.
• E2: Probe cord is not functioning properly. Check the wire and connection for damage or exposure to extreme heat. Replace the cord if necessary.

If the display screen is not working, check that batteries are installed correctly and replace them if needed.

Care and Maintenance

Store the device in a dry location at room temperature. Clean the wireless display with a soft, damp cloth. Wipe the temperature probe clean with warm water immediately after use. Do not place the base or display on hot surfaces, do not use them in the oven, and do not wash them in a dishwasher. Do not immerse in water or use caustic cleaners.
