CARE AND CLEANING
Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab
moistened with 70% alcohol to clean the
thermometer body and the measuring
probe. Wait until after the alcohol has
completely dried out before you can take
a new measurement.
Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer. Never use abrasive
cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the
instrument in water or other cleaning liquids.
