8. Use & Maintenance
Tips for Use:
● Your ChefsTemps Quad XPro's body should not be attached directly to a smoker or grill's lid or left in the smoker or oven. The
high heat will severely damage the plastic housing.
● Insert the cooking probe so that the tip rests at the thickest part of the meat or food. Avoid gristle or bone.
● The round tip probe is an ambient probe. Pinch the probe clip, insert the probe, and attach the clip to the grate. Place the
ambient probe 1-2 inches away from the food, avoiding the sides of the cooker. The clip can be adjusted for dierent-sized BBQ
grates by gently bending it. We recommend leaving the air probe in the clip while adjusting.
● Set your desired alarm temperatures. Chef-recommended doneness temperatures are listed at the end of the manual. If
cooking meat, set the alarm somewhat lower to allow for carryover heat during resting.
Cautions for Probes and Cables:
● Use hot pads or gloves when removing the probe from food. It will be hot. DO NOT pull on the cable. Use the molded mini-
handle.
● The cables can withstand 700°F (370°C) while the transition/handle can withstand 644°F (340°C) for short periods. The probe
tip itself is rated to 716°F (380°C). DO NOT expose probe tip to ames or coals.
● The probe is water-resistant but we do not recommend full immersion of the cable. Clean the probe by wiping it with a damp
cloth and kitchen cleaner.
● Keep the probe cable away from oven elements, ames, coals, grills or oven racks, all of which can reach temperatures far
higher than 700°F (even if an oven is set to a lower temperature).
● When using ovens or smokers, avoid pinching the cable between hot surfaces such as a cast iron grill hood without some
insulating protection. Avoid repeated twisting of the probe cable which can break wires.
