Answer:

Classic (formerly Built-In) Series models are set to show temperatures in Fahrenheit temperature units of measure. Fahrenheit temperature units are indicated by the “F” at the upper right of the temperature readings in the LCD.

To change to Celsius units of measure display:

  1. Temperature units selection mode must be initiated within the first (1) minute after switching the unit ON. This may require turning the unit off and then back on.
  2. Press and hold the ALARM key and the POWER key simultaneously for five (5) seconds, then release the keys.
  3. A "C" will appear on the display where "F" was previously, indicating that temperatures will now appear in Celsius units of measure.
  4. To change from Celsius temperature units of measure to Fahrenheit, repeat steps 1-3.

Notes

  • Temperature units selection mode will stop ten (10) seconds after the last key stroke, or the ALARM key can be pressed to exit this mode before the ten (10) seconds has elapsed.
  • Do not press and hold the POWER key first, that will simply switch the unit OFF.
