To use the 9842 digital instant read
thermometer, you press ON/OFF to turn it on and then press °F/°C if you
want to change the temperature unit. You insert the stem at least 1 inch into the food being tested and leave it in the food
until the display stabilizes, which should take about 10 seconds. You can then remove the thermometer from the
food and read the temperature. When you're finished using the 9842, you
turn it off and clean it (to prevent cross-contamination if other foods need to be
checked at this time).
To avoid burns when using the 9842 food
thermometer near
heat, you can use the pocket sleeve as a handle by inserting the
stem through the small hole in the sleeve. The antimicrobial
Safe-T-Guard™ sleeve contains a non-toxic chemical compound that
inhibits the growth of pathogenic microorganisms on the sleeve. This
minimizes cross-contamination of foods.
You'll appreciate the fact that the 9842
complies with USDA Hazard
Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) requirements. The HACCP
laboratory testing programs help ensure the safety of our meat, poultry,
and egg products supply. Also, the 9842 is NSF® Certified.
NSF International is an independent, non-profit company dedicated to
public health and safety and a leader in standards development and
certification.
Unlike many digital food thermometers, the
Taylor 9842 can be recalibrated for absolute accuracy. Instructions for
calibrating the 9842 at 32°F are provided in the user manual.
For powering, the Taylor 9842 professional
waterproof instant read thermometer uses one long-life LR44 (1.5V) battery, which is included and
preinstalled. To prolong battery life, the 9842 has an automatic shut-off
feature that turns the power off after 10 minutes if no change in
temperature occurs.
Whether you're a food professional or not,
if you need a highly accurate, commercial-grade digital instant read
thermometer that's also waterproof and recalibratable, the Taylor 9842
deserves a serious look. This product
is covered by a Taylor 1-year warranty.
Please Note: Never leave the
Taylor 9842 in the oven while cooking. Wash the 9842 by hand, not in a dishwasher.
Store the 9842 in its plastic antimicrobial sleeve. Finally, after
changing the battery, make sure that the battery compartment door is
properly and completely closed. If the door is not fully closed, water can
get into the battery compartment and cause the unit to malfunction.
