Infrared Food Thermometer TFA-Dostmann 31.1119.K AAA Battery 1.5V

The TFA-Dostmann 31.1119.K infrared food thermometer provides fast and hygienic temperature measurement for food. It offers both contact-free infrared measurement and an optional probe, displays current, highest or lowest temperature during measurement, and includes hold and lock functions. The device is compact and battery-powered (AAA 1.5 V), comes with a clip, protective bag and calibration certificate, and is water-resistant (IP65) for use in food preparation environments.

Advantages

This thermometer combines infrared contact-free readings with an optional probe for flexible use. Infrared mode features an LED spot-size indicator and adjustable emissivity for more accurate surface readings, while the probe is calibrated at two points (-18°C and +2°C) to improve accuracy. The unit shows current, maximum and minimum temperatures, offers hold and lock functions, and has a HACCP LED to indicate HI/LO levels for food safety. Its IP65 jet-waterproof rating and included calibration certificate support professional kitchen use.

Suitable for

• Quick surface temperature checks of cooked or reheated food
• Measuring temperature of chilled or frozen products using the probe
• HACCP monitoring and routine food-safety controls
• Kitchen, catering and food-service environments

How to use

For contact-free measurement, select infrared mode, aim the thermometer at the target surface and press the measurement button; observe the LED spot-size indicator to ensure correct distance based on the 2.5:1 ratio, then read the temperature on the display. For more accurate internal or frozen-product readings, attach and use the probe. Use the hold or lock function to fix a reading on the display. Adjust emissivity when measuring different surface materials to improve infrared accuracy.

Recommendations

Use infrared mode for quick surface checks and switch to the calibrated probe for core or frozen temperatures. Keep the sensor clean and avoid strong steam or direct water jets despite IP65 rating. Verify HACCP HI/LO thresholds before use and recalibrate periodically using the supplied calibration certificate as reference.
