Care and cleaning

The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It must be clean and intact to ensure accurate
readings. If the thermometer is ever accidentally used without a Hygiene cap, clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol. After the
alcohol has completely dried out, you can put a new Hygiene cap on and take a temperature
measurement.
If the probe tip is damaged, please contact Consumer Relations.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Never submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid. Store thermometer and Hygiene
caps in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight.
Additional Hygiene caps (LF 40) are available at most stores carrying Braun ThermoScan.
