GRILL ALERT™ TALKING
REMOTE THERMOMETER
CONGRATULATIONS! You now own Brookstone’s Grill Alert™ Talking Remote
Thermometer—thoroughly tested to be certain it meets our own exacting
quality control standards.
9. Use BELT CLIP to wear the monitor, or place it on TABLE STAND within your
immediate area. Keep monitor dry and away from direct heat or flame.
10. The first voice prompt,“Your entrée is almost ready” will sound when the
current temperature is within five degrees of the target temperature.

target temperature is reached. Turn off voice alert by pressing any control
button on the monitor. Remove meat from the cooking surface.
Spend less time at the grill or oven with our wireless talking monitor that tells
you when food is cooked to perfection. It works on just about any meat:
beef, lamb, veal, hamburger, pork, turkey, chicken and fish. Just insert the
stainless steel probe into your entrée, select the type of meat and choose
how you want it cooked. The transmitter sends readings to the monitor from
up to 300' away. The bar graph tracks your cooking progress and the voice
alerts you when your entrée is “almost ready” and “ready.” Use outdoors on
your barbecue grill or indoors with your oven or stove top.
12. Remove MEAT PROBE from the meat. Use caution when touching MEAT
PROBE or end of cable as they may be hot and may cause burns.
13. If current temperature surpasses the target temperature, an overcook
alarm will sound (continuous beeping). Remove meat immediately.
14. Turn off both units by pressing POWER for two seconds.

IMPORTANT:
For Poultry:
FCC WARNINGS
Grill Alert™ has been tested to comply with FCC standards for home or office
use. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
The Grill Alert default target temperature (170°F) is calibrated for cooking
poultry breasts and boneless roasts. For whole chickens and turkey, the
USDA recommends a minimum cooking temperature of 180°F.
1. This unit may not cause harmful interference, and
For Beef, Lamb, and Veal:
2. This unit must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
The Grill Alert default target temperatures are set 10°F below the
recommended serving temperatures. These default temperatures
accommodate for additional cooking that occurs after the meat is
removed from a cooking surface and covered, known as the resting
period. The resting period, typically 10 to 20 minutes, enhances the flavor
of meat.
CAUTION
•
Consuming raw or undercooked meats and seafood may increase your
risk of foodborne illness.
•
•
•
•
•
Do not immerse transmitter or monitor in water or other liquid.
Keep transmitter and monitor away from heat and direct flame.
Do not expose monitor to rain or moisture.
If you are going to serve the meat without allowing for a resting period,
cook the meat 10°F higher than the indicated target temperature.
6. Choose your preferred doneness level by pressing COOK until your
desired doneness setting appears on the display: RARE, MED RARE,
MEDIUM and WELL DONE.
Probe will be hot after use. Use care in handling to avoid burns.
Do not rest probe wire on cooking surface.
Note: Doneness level selection is available for BEEF, LAMB and VEAL
only. For CHICKEN, PORK, TURKEY, FISH and HAMBURGER, the unit
defaults to well done based on USDA guidelines. The bar graph
remains in the rare range until your entrée reaches its target
temperature. At this point, the graph and voice prompt will signal
that your entrée is ready.
