To use the REOTEMP FG16P Backyard Compost Thermometer, follow these steps:
1. Insert the thermometer: Hold the metered end of the thermometer and push the pointed tip into the middle of your compost pile. Make sure the stem is fully inserted for an accurate reading.
2. Wait for the reading: Keep the thermometer in the compost pile until the meter stops spinning. This indicates that the temperature reading has stabilized.
3. Read the temperature: Once the meter has stopped spinning, look at the dial on the thermometer to read the temperature. The temperature range is indicated in Fahrenheit, and the thermometer has a response time of 500 milliseconds.
4. Interpret the temperature: The three temperature zones on the dial, developed by composting specialists, reflect the activity of the compost. Use the provided compost guide to understand the activity level of your compost pile based on the temperature reading.
5. Remove the thermometer: After reading the temperature, carefully remove the thermometer from the compost pile. Avoid bending the stem or head of the thermometer, as this can damage the internal parts and affect accuracy.
Remember to follow the precautions mentioned in the user guide, such as not using the dial head to push the thermometer into dense material and using the optional handle to eliminate the risk of damage.
