Charge the probe for at least 5 minutes before use. The red light stays on while the probe charges and goes out when the probe is full. The probe charges when the dock is fully charged or the USB cable is unplugged. If the dock has power and the red light does not come on with the USB cable unplugged, the probe is already full.
The probe charges only when the dock is turned off (OFF). You cannot connect to the probe while it is charging.

Cooking
Open the Hehku app on your phone or tablet. The app notifies you when it finds a probe or a repeater (the dock). Connect the devices it finds.
If the app does not detect the probe:
-
Navigate to the Devices page in the app and search for available probes.
-
Restart the probe by placing it back into the dock with the dock turned OFF. Ensure the red charging light turns on.
-
Turn the dock ON and wait until the green light stays steady.
Place the repeater dock near the cooking area. The dock relays the probe’s signal to your phone. If you can, put the dock on something other than a metal surface, as metal can shorten the range. If the connection to your phone drops, move the dock closer to the phone, but not so far that the link between the dock and the probe breaks.
Insert the probe diagonally into the thickest part of the meat until it reaches the safety mark. This ensures accurate temperature readings and prevents damage from excessive heat.

Select Start Cooking, choose the dish, and set the desired doneness.
The app calculates when to take the food off the heat so that carryover cooking brings it to your target temperature while it rests.
When it is time, the app alerts you. Take the food off the heat.
Let the meat rest in a warm place. If you like, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, but do not wrap it completely. The app alerts you when resting is done.
Remove the probe, and if desired, quickly sear the surface over high heat.
After each use, clean the probe with warm, soapy water or place it in the dishwasher. Always store the probe in the dock to keep it charged and ready for the next use.
