USER MANUAL

Introduction

Pocketherm P125W, P125W/82, P250W & P250FW are pocket sized waterproof handheld folding probe digital thermometers. Pocketherm thermometers are intended for quick checks on frozen, chilled or cooked food in catering environments. In addition P250W and P250FW can be used for checking frying oil temperatures.

There is audible and visual indication when temperature measurements fall into any of three HACCP temperature zones for frozen food, chilled food and cooked meat.

Safety Information

Revent Electric Shock

To avoid electric shock do not allow the probe to come into contact with live electrical parts.

Maintaining Product Safety & Reserving Comark Warranty

• Only use the instrument for its intended purpose.
• Do not use in a microwave oven.
• Pocketerm is not dishwasher safe.
• Do not use the instrument beyond its operating temperature range.
• Avoid excessive force on the probe tip.
• Do not use the probe as a lever.

Personal Safety

The probe tip is sharp and can cause injury if misused.
- Do not measure body temperatures with Pocketerm.

Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)

• This instrument must not be disposed of in general waste. Instead take it to your local authority's recycling centre for small electrical goods. Within the European Union, Comark operates a Take Back scheme for our end-of-life products. Contact us for details.

Operation

Switching On/Off

Swing out the probe to switch on the thermometer. Swing back the probe to switch off. Clip the tip behind the retainer to avoid damage to clothing or injury. To conserve battery life, the thermometer will automatically switch off after 60 minutes. Fold back then unfold the probe to continue use.

Low Battery Indication

Low battery is indicated by an empty battery symbol appearing in the top left corner of the display. Replace the battery as soon as possible after this symbol appears. If the battery is too low, BATT is displayed briefly

before the instrument switches itself off.

Taking Measurements

Insert the tip of the probe approximately 20mm (3/4") into the food item to be checked. Allow a few seconds for the probe to reach stable temperature then note the reading. If the probed item is within one of three HACCP zones then the beeper will sound and the corresponding indicator will flash as below:

P125W / P250W

Frozen: (Yellow) Below -18°C

Chilled: (Green) 0^ C - 5^ C

Cooked: (Red) Above 75^

P125W/82

Frozen: (Yellow) Below -18°C

Chilled: (Green) 0^ - 5^

Cooked: (Red) Above 82^

P250FW

Cold Hold: (Yellow) Below 40^

Hot Hold: (Green) 140^ - 165^

Ground Beef: (Red) Above 165^
