S1: It cannot turn on.
  1. Reset: You can reset your S1 by using a needle to press the Reset button next to the charging port. The reset will be complete when the screen briefly lights up. You can watch this video: S1 Reset.
  2. Check Charging Operations: We suggest using the original charging block and cable and ensuring the S1 is fully charged before each use. Do not charge the device while it is operating on a grill, as cooking temperatures exceed the safe charging range. Charging under these conditions may cause power or charging issues. How to Safely Charge Your ProTemp S1?
If the problem cannot be solved, please shoot a video of the power issue and send it to [email protected] for further assistance.
S1: It cannot connect to WiFi.

Please watch our tutorial video to ensure you’re following the correct Wi-Fi setup process: How to Pair Your ProTemp S1 with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi | Step-by-Step.

  1. App Permissions: Make sure the ChefsTemp app has all required permissions—especially location access—enabled on your device. For iOS, please enable “Allow connecting to your nearby devices” in your settings.
  2. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Settings: Turn on Bluetooth on your device and ensure the connected Wi-Fi on your phone is on a 2.4GHz network. If your router is an automatic dual-band (or only has the 5GHz Wi‑Fi), simply separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands (or create a guest 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi network) in the router app.
  3. Password and SSID: Use the orange magnifying glass to auto-detect the SSID, and double-check that the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly, as spell-check may alter it.
  4. Router Settings: Disable fast roaming (e.g., 802.11r) on your router, as it may prevent the thermometer from connecting.
  5. Reconnection: After making sure the above settings are correct, delete all your current connections on the app, exit and reopen the app, shut off the Base to restart it, and connect the thermometer from the beginning.
If it connects to WiFi successfully, the Wi-Fi icon on your Base screen is solid (not flashing). If it still fails, please take a video of the connecting process and send it to [email protected], and we will confirm and solve it for you.
S1: It cannot connect Bluetooth, or stuck in C-1 when connected.
If your ProTemp S1 is unable to connect to Bluetooth or is stuck on C-1 during pairing, please follow these steps to resolve the issue:
  1. Check App Permissions: Make sure the ChefsTemp app has all required permissions—especially location access—enabled on your device. For iOS, please enable “Allow connecting to your nearby devices” in your settings.
  2. Delete and Reconnection: After making sure the above settings are correct, delete all your current connections on the app, exit and reopen the app, press the RESET button next to the charging port to restart, and reconnect by following our tutorial video: How to Pair Your ProTemp S1 with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi | Step-by-Step
  3. Test with LightBlue App: If the issue persists, download the LightBlue app and check for “ProTemp S1 Base” in the device list.
If it still fails, please take a video of the connecting process and send it to [email protected], and we will confirm and solve it for you.
S1: Its battery cannot be fully charged, or the battery duration is not long.

When charging your S1, a charging animation will appear on the battery icon. A flashing, fully charged icon indicates the S1 is completely charged.

A fully charged S1 provides at least 40 hours of usage. For optimal charging, use the original charging cable with a power source not exceeding 20W.

If your S1 isn’t fully charging or has a short battery life, try the following:
1. Use a different power supply and charging cable, then recharge the device.
2. Ensure your S1 firmware is updated to the latest version. Watch the firmware update tutorial here: ProTemp S1 Firmware Update

If the problem cannot be solved, please take a video of the charging progress and send it to [email protected], and we will confirm and solve it for you.

S1: Its backlight cannot be turned off.

You can reset your S1 by using a needle to press the Reset button next to the charging port. The reset will be complete when the screen briefly lights up. You can watch this video: ProTemp S1 Reset.

We suggest that you use the charging cable in the packaging for charging. Other charging cables may not be compatible, and please note that your charging head power should not exceed 20W. And please use a 5V/2A DC adapter for charging, and do not use an AC adapter. Otherwise, it may cause damage.

If the problem cannot be solved, please shoot a video of the issue and send it to [email protected] for confirmation.

Breezo Fan: App keeps showing it is disconnected, or my fan is suddenly unresponsive during a cook.
1. Please follow these steps below to check first: 2. Turn off the fan switch on the App, then connect the Breezo to the charging cable to power it on, press the button on the Breezo to turn on the fan, and then press it twice to turn off the fan. If the Breezo can be controlled by pressing the button, this indicates that the Breezo can be powered on. 3. Turn on the fan switch on the App to check if the Breezo can be turned on. Manually Pair: If the Breezo still cannot be controlled through the App, this indicates that the Breezo may not be connected to the S1, and you need to manually pair them:
  • Connect the Breezo to the charging cable to power it on, and press and hold the button on the Breezo for 4 seconds until the Breezo rotates slightly. It indicates that the Breezo has been reset and paired with S1.
  • Press the button on Breezo twice to stop the Breezo, and then use the fan switch on the App to control the Breezo.
If the above steps still cannot solve the problem, please let us know the details and take a video of connecting and opening Breezo, and we will analyze and solve it for you.
Breezo Fan: My fan does not stop after reaching the target temperature.

Please confirm that the firmware of your S1 and Breezo Fan has been upgraded to the latest version. Ensure that the app is also the latest version. After completing the firmware update, it is recommended to delete all devices and reconnect to check for any issues. How to Update Firmware on ProTemp S1 & Breezo Fan | Step-by-Step Guide

❤️For best results, we recommend keeping the top vent nearly closed and allowing the Breezo fan to add the necessary air to maintain your desired temperature. Opening the top vent too much can lead to overshooting your target temperature, especially at lower temperatures used for smoking. For higher-temperature grilling, such as searing, you may open the vent slightly more to accommodate the increased airflow needs. These settings work well across various grill sizes.

Breezo Fan: My fan is unable to perform firmware updates, or fails to upgrade the firmware.
To ensure a successful firmware update for your Breezo V2 fan, please follow the steps outlined in this video: Firmware Update Guide. Please also make sure your app is updated to the latest version. Here’s a step-by-step checklist that may help:
  1. Use the original charger to power the fan.
  2. Turn on and run the fan.
  3. Open the app and go to the firmware update section. If an update is available, proceed with the upgrade.
  4. After the update completes, fully close the app and reopen it.
  5. Return to the firmware page to confirm the update was successful.
If it still shows the old version, try logging out of your app account and logging back in before retrying the update. Could you also confirm whether you’re able to control the fan via the mobile app? If yes, please try the firmware update again after confirming connectivity. If the issue persists:
  • Try resetting the S1 unit.
  • Disconnect and reconnect the S1 unit.
 Important: If your Breezo was purchased before April 8 (2025), it is a V1 model, which does not support firmware updates. You can continue using it normally without updating. Let me know how it goes or if you’d like help walking through any of the steps—I’m here for you!
Breezo Fan: My fan does not respond when pressing the Power Button, or cannot be turned on.

If the fan button does not respond, please confirm you are using the included power adapter and cable. For power banks, please use Type-C to Type-C, and avoid fast-charging adapters or those exceeding 20W. If it still fails, please shoot a short video of the issue and reach our support team, [email protected].
