5. Calibració

The ThermoPro APT418-1 thermometer features customizable calibration. If you suspect the thermometer is not reading accurately, you can recalibrate it.

Calibration Procedure (Ice Bath Method):

1. Fill a glass with crushed ice and add cold water until the glass is full. Stir the mixture well.
2. Insert the thermometer probe into the ice bath, ensuring the probe tip is fully submerged but not touching the bottom or sides of the glass.
3. Wait for the temperature reading to stabilize (approximately 30 seconds). A properly calibrated thermometer should read 32°F (0°C).
4. If the reading is not 32°F (0°C), locate the calibration nut on the back of the thermometer dial (often a hexagonal nut).
5. Using a small wrench or pliers, carefully turn the calibration nut until the needle points to 32°F (0°C).
6. Remove the thermometer from the ice bath and dry it thoroughly.
