Product Information

Full details

The Arctic Hayes Stem Thermometer is designed for anyone needing accurate temperature readings for liquids, semi-solids, and solids. Its key benefit is its versatility and dual Celsius/Fahrenheit display, allowing for precise measurement across a wide range. A minor caveat is its reliance on a button cell battery, which will eventually need replacement. This thermometer offers a robust temperature range, digital readouts including Max/Min, and comes with a protective probe sheath for safe storage and handling.

Does the thermometer show current, maximum, and minimum temperatures?

Yes, it displays the current temperature and also records and shows the maximum and minimum readings taken during a session.

How do I switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

There is a dedicated button on the unit to select between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

What type of battery does it use?

The thermometer is powered by one 3V CR1220 button cell battery, which is supplied with the unit.

Troubleshooting

Thermometer not turning on

Check that the CR1220 button cell battery is correctly inserted. Replace the battery if it is depleted.

Inaccurate readings

Ensure the probe is clean and fully inserted into the material. Allow sufficient time for the reading to stabilize. Check that the correct unit (°C or °F) is selected.

Display is dim or unreadable

The battery is likely low. Replace the CR1220 button cell battery.

Probe reads too high or too low compared to expected

Verify the thermometer's temperature range (-55°C to +330°C / -58°F to 626°F). For readings outside this range, the thermometer will not be accurate. Clean the probe.
