3. Pull old thermocouple from probe body and discard.

4. The new thermocouple has been coiled for shipping purposes.

Straighten the thermocouple using your thumb and index ﬁ nger.

5. If not already done, install supplied O-Rings onto thermocouple.

6. Insert thermocouple into probe body until it “bottoms out.”

7. Strip 1/4 inch of insulation from each of the probe’s thermocouple

connector wires.

IMPORTANT: In Step 8, the thermocouple wires must ﬁ rst

be twisted together and then crimped.

8. Twist both red thermocouple wires together; insert them into the

supplied wire-splice connector; and then crimp the connector using

a pair of pliers. Repeat this step for the yellow thermocouple wires.

9. Reassemble the probe handle, being careful not to pinch the

thermocouple wires between the handle pieces. In addition, ensure

that the end of the thermocouple is in front of the rib molded into

the bottom handle piece; otherwise, the handle pieces will not ﬁ t

tightly together.
