2.3 Safety guidelines
This device has been designed and tested in accordance with the safety regulations
for electronic devices.
However, its trouble-free operation and reliability cannot be guaranteed unless the
standard safety measures and special safety advises given in this manual will be
adhered to when using the device.
1. Trouble-free operation and reliability of the device can only be guaranteed if the
device is not subjected to any other climatic conditions than those stated under
chapter 13 Specification.

undesired voltage potentials that can lead to malfunctions or
destroying of the device and the connected devices.

Temperature sensor:
There is a risk of stitch injury by using insertion probs. When measuring
high temperatures there is a risk of burn, also due to residual heat of
the sensor tube.

The device housing is not construed for the permanent contact with
food. Keep in mind to use temperature-probes witch are suitable for the
use in food only.
