How to use it
- Check each thermometer [monthly], and after it's been dropped.
- Iced water: fill a cup with crushed ice, top up with cold water, wait two minutes, and hold the probe in the middle. It should read 0°C.
- Boiling water: it should read 100°C. Take care.
- It should be within 1°C. If not, adjust it or replace the battery and test again, or replace the thermometer.
