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 lens filter, 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 lens filter on and take a temperature
measurement .
If the probe tip is damaged, please contact local service center .
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 lens filters
in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight .
Additional lens filters (LF 40) are available at most stores carrying Braun ThermoScan® .
