Deming,

In the user manual for Ver 6.04, section 5.1.11.1 it explains how to adjust the temperature offset.

I'm also not sure that putting the probe in water was a good thing as I believe there is a small current that runs through the probe and getting it wet may not be good.

Perfect, Dan! That's how you calibrate a temp probe. If we ditched the lousy Fahrenheit scale for Centigrade this would be known more widely. Melting ice and boiling water are the Standards (at sea level) to establish 0 deg C and 100 deg C.
Congrats, you made an important step to seeing the superiority of the metric system. Now let's talk about how a 10x10x10 cm volume of water makes 1 liter and also weighs 1kg. It could all be so easy...
