SS brewtech LCD display temperature limit

[Remos112]

So I am wondering if I just made a big mistake by purchasing my mashtun/brewing kettle upgrades. First of all I mash in a brewing kettle with an adjustable thermostat. So I thought it might be handy to get a more accurate way to measure temperature then to stick a analog thermometer in there.

So I went ahead and bought the SS Brewtech weldless thermowell , the special drillbit for it to drill the 17mm hole and I also ordered the SS Brewtech LCD display. However the store I bought it from never mentioned anything about a temperature limit so I surfed to the SS site and it said, NOT intended for boiling temps.

I haven't drilled the hole yet so at least no damage to my kettle, but what are my options here?
Could I still use it to monitor my mash? a mash out typically is about 77C so nowhere near boiling, or would this be too hot already? If you guys think this should be safe I could remove it when I switch the kettle to full whack for boiling.

Or am I kinda screwed and have a useless piece of kit on my hands now? I could always install the thermowell in my plastic fermenter to feed it data to my Inkbird controlling my fermentation chamber, but that's not exactly what I bought it for in the first place.

As always any and all comments are appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Remi

Ok stupid me, there was a little booklet left in the box my delivery came in. It says it is intended for the Infusion Mash tun, and it has a temperature range of-29 to +82c
So if I removed it before boiling all should be fine. Sorry for bothering you guys with my lack of reading the user manual.

Easy enough to do in the excitement of opening new toys for the brewery
