1. Remove the thermometer from its packaging and insert the batteries.
2. Press the on/off button to turn on the device.
3. Calibrate the thermometer by immersing it in ice water, ensuring the temperature reads 32°F (0°C).
4. Adjust the calibration by following the manufacturer's instructions, if necessary.
5. Insert the fork-shaped probe into the food you're cooking, ensuring solid contact with the meat.
6. Wait 3-4 seconds for an accurate temperature reading.
7. For app integration, download the Maverick Connect app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and pair the thermometer with your mobile device via Bluetooth.

CLEANING AFTER USE

• Cooling: Allow the tips to cool for 60 seconds before touching as they may be hot.
• Cleaning: Wipe with a damp, soapy cloth or sponge. Don’t use alcohol. Dry completely after cleaning.
• Caution: Do not place in dishwasher or immerse in any liquid.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The Redi Fork PRO is powered by two replaceable 1.5-volt AAA super heavy-duty batteries which should last for 1 year. To replace batteries, switch the side "ON/OFF" button to the "OFF" position, lift off the battery cover on the rear of the unit and pull out used batteries noting polarity. Insert two new extra heavy-duty AAA batteries.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Temperature Readings: The Redi Fork PRO LCD receives temperature readings from the sensory tip every three seconds. It may take 15-20 seconds for the sensory tip to heat up during initial insertion into food. Once the tip is warm and multiple insertions are made into food, the temperature response will be quicker.
• Avoid False Readings: False readings can accidentally be obtained by touching bone or fat pockets within food; by pushing the tips too far through the food, or not far enough. Take multiple readings to be sure.
• Thin Foods: Thin foods (under 1/2 inch) are very difficult to measure properly as they tend to cook through fast. Always insert tips into the thickest part of food realizing thin sections will be cooked faster.

Troubleshooting

For common issues with the Maverick ET-64 RediFork Digital Grilling Thermometer, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Problem: Inaccurate temperature readings
  Solution: Ensure calibration is accurate and the probe is inserted correctly. If the issue persists, contact Maverick's customer support for assistance.
• Problem: Bluetooth pairing issues
  Solution: Turn the thermometer off and back on, ensuring Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. If pairing is still unsuccessful, try resetting the thermometer's Bluetooth connection by following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Problem: Short battery lif
  Solution: Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed. If the issue continues, consider replacing the batteries with new ones, ensuring that they are the correct type and have the appropriate voltage.
