Product description
Model 12214 is a dishwasher thermometer kit designed to confirm that the minimum sanitizing temperature is reached during the final rinse cycle of high-temperature commercial dishwashers.
The thermometer itself is an NSF-certified digital unit with its LCD display protected by a molded plastic heat shield to preserve the screen from prolonged exposure to heat and moisture. The kit format includes the thermometer, the protective heat shield, and a storage case for safe keeping when not in use.
Built to resist washdown conditions, the instrument carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is splash- and spray-resistant and suitable for placement inside commercial dishwashing cycles. It records both minimum and maximum temperatures so you can capture the peak of a cycle without constantly watching the display.
Auto-calibration functionality simplifies maintaining accuracy, and the robust construction aims to withstand routine commercial use. The unit is intended to be placed in the dishwasher during a cycle to verify that rinses attain the required sanitizing temperature.
Pros
- NSF-certified build for foodservice use
- IP65-rated for dishwasher exposure
- Records min/max temperatures for verification
Cons
- Some reports of premature failures under heavy use
- Occasional difficulty reading the display for some users
- Not every unit performs consistently over long-term daily cycles
VerdictThe Model 12214 kit delivers a focused solution for verifying sanitizing temperatures in commercial dishwashers. It pairs an NSF-certified digital thermometer with a protective plastic heat shield and storage case, offers IP65 dishwasher-safe construction, and captures min/max readings so you can confirm final-rinse temps. While many users praise its durability and usefulness for inspections, a mi

Short-lived on daily use
Needed these for a senior center. Returned the first because the display was hard to read; the replacement also became unreadable soon after.
