516 Digital Tea Thermometer/Timer Leading the Way in Accuracy ® Instruction Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Taylor® Tea Thermometer & Timer! Tea brewing is based on a lot of different sources and we have tried to incorporate temperatures and brewing times that most connoisseurs of tea would recommend. The Taylor® Tea Thermometer/Timer not only has the seven preset temperatures with steeping times, but the unit can also be set to your own steeping temperature and brewing time, so if you do not wish to use the presets, please feel free to adjust to your own taste.
General Operation 1. Press the “Ent” (Enter) button turn the unit on. 2. Your thermometer is preset to read temperatures in Fahrenheit. To switch to Celsius, press and hold the “S/S” (Start/Stop) button for 3 seconds. 3. Press the “Ent” button to access the Tea Selection screen. 4. Press the “+” or “-“ button to scroll through 7 types of teas (White, Green, Oolong, Black, Herbal, Pureh, Darjeeling). Note: Each Tea Screen displays a flashing Tea Icon, a temperature, and a time.
General Operation (cont.) 8. Press “Ent” to select the displayed steep time. The Tea icon, temperature and time all stop flashing. The unit is ready for a water temperature reading. 9. Before adding hot water, place the thermometer stem into a cup or pot that will be used to brew the tea. Use the pan clip to secure the thermometer to the side of the brewing container. The clip may be moved up or down the stem to fit the depth of the brewing container.
Battery Replacement The thermometer operates on one CR2032 lithium battery (as installed). If readings grow dim or irregular, the battery may need to be replaced. To replace the battery: 1. Gently pull off the silicone backing under the base of the thermometer head. 2. Loosen the screw located inside one of the holes in the base/stem part of the thermometer (The screw will not come all the way out). 3. Gently pull the base/stem part of the thermometer from the thermometer head.
Care and Precautions 1. Always read instructions thoroughly to ensure that you have the full benefit of all the unit's features. 2. Sterilize thermometer stem each time before use. 3. Use caution while heating or pouring hot water to avoid injury, such as from splashing or spilling the water. 4. Use caution while handling the thermometer. Always wear a heat resistant glove when touching the thermometer stem during or just after use. DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS! 5.
Other uses for the Taylor Tea Thermometer & Timer PLEASE NOTE: For French press users, you can use the thermometer to brew a perfect pot of coffee too. Bring your water to a boil and set the temperature to 195°F/200°F and the timer to 3/5 minutes. Once the water reaches the preset temperature, put the coffee into the press pot and add the heated water. Then start the timer to time the brewing process. Once the timer beeps, press the plunger.
