Receiving your thermometer

Upon receiving your thermometer please inspect your thermometer for any visual damage. Sometimes in transit the mercury will become separated. This can be easily fixed. Please consult Separation Instructions. To check the accuracy of the thermometer place the thermometer and about four inches of water in a pot and bring to a boil. When the water begins to boil the thermometer should read 212° F. (This is base on an altitude at sea level.) See Altitude chart to adjust for different altitudes. If the thermometer does not read 212° F please contact us before using. This thermometer can be rechecked using this method at anytime.
