Ideal for testing liquids, semi-solid and solid materials. Shows Max. and Min. readings, the user can also select °C or °F. Supplied with a probe protective sheath. Conforms to EMC and RoHS directive, CE and UKCA complaint. Temperature Range: -55°C to +330°C / -58°F to 626°FProbe Length: 145 x Ø4mm Power: 1 x 3V CR1220 button cell battery (supplied).
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.

FAQs
What is the temperature range of the Arctic Hayes Stem Thermometer?
The thermometer can measure temperatures from -55°C to +330°C, which is equivalent to -58°F to 626°F.
Can this thermometer be used for cooking?
Yes, it is suitable for various cooking applications, such as checking oil temperatures, candy making, or internal food temperatures within its measurement range.
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.
Is the probe waterproof?
The probe itself is designed for immersion in liquids and semi-solids. However, the main body of the thermometer unit should not be submerged in water.
What are the dimensions of the probe?
The probe measures 145mm in length and has a diameter of 4mm.
What does 'Conforms to EMC and RoHS directive, CE and UKCA complaint' mean?
These certifications indicate that the product meets specific European Union and UK standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), ensuring it is safe and compliant for sale in these regions.
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.
