I have lost my manual. Does anyone know where on the stem the temperature is taken? At the end or in the middle?

The reading is taken near the end, if I remember right there might even be a little indent showing how far the probe has to be inserted (1/4 inch or so).

I try to put the tip in up to the dimple in the shaft to get an accurate temperature. That has proven to be reliable.

The temperature is taken by the thin part of the thermometer. All of the thin tip can be used to get an accurate measurement.

Unable to answer this question as I have not use this feature, but would asume Temp is read in Deg's F, since other meters I have used read in Deg's F.

Not sure I understand which part you are asking about. It is of good quality. There is some heavy plastic - the handle, top and a very small chunk on the stem.

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

good evening,the set point temperature range is 45F TO 90F which 45f would be the lowest set temp.i hope this helplove the unit work really well.

Yes, that is what I did. I broke the stem. Leave it to Amazon to have the part. I got it three days after ordering.

I don't remember a user's manual. You simply set the unit to heat or cool and dial in the fan cut in point. Without going to look at my unit I remember that when I change heating to cooling I go and look at the unit and configure it to cooling and this changes the fan cut in temperature. lower cut in in summer and higher in winter.

46F is the lowest setting. use it as lager beer fermenter so around 50F is sufficient for me.

there is a thermostat that goes low, medium, high. What I did was buy a a good quality thermometer, drill a hole in the lid and tighten the thermometer down which works pretty well, however keep in mind you may want to put it in the side a bit lower so you know what the temperature is in the lower rack rather than the top rack closer to the lid

Yea happened to me too. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement part. I was told not to max out the heat temp. So I kept it less then a 100 deg. C from the max temp after I replaced the thermol . They did not charge me for the part either. So basically if I were you and if you have time to return it for a full refund and buy another one and keep it 100 c under the max temp you should be fine. You could email them and see if they will give you the replacement part but it was a little hard changing the part. But it can be done. It's been working fine ever since.

There is a dial numbered from 1-10 to control the temp. I bought two... one worked and the other didn't. The working one works very well.

I do not know the temp range as it is not calibrated. I have found that the mid-point is hot enough to both tin the tip and solder wires to delicate connectors. For the price, it is a good unit. The flat tip that comes with the unit is not ideal for soldering in tight spaces - I recommend that you order some conical tips if you are going to be working with circuit boards.

The bottom lever on the side is the temperature control. Pressing in the knob on the lever allows you to adjust from the standard setting to warmer or colder.

Nothing I know about. But I have found the gauge to be convenient and easy to use. I must admit though, it would be helpful if the stem attachment was at a 45% or right angle when manufactured.

What do you need a manual for? Just turn it on and increase or decrease the temp.. But if you need a manual in your hand you can download it at http://www.manualslib.com/manual/454439/Lifesmart-S-1500-6wb.html

If the stem bothers you you can either trim it or turn it inside out. Try inside out first as it may be all that is needed.

The gray button in center, called mode. I keep mine oh high, without using the temperature setting, otherwise it keeps coming on and off constantly. Just keep hitting the mode button to get where you want to be.
