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 your local service centre.
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 (LF40) are available at most stores carrying Braun ThermoScan
