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.
