EC Probe Maintenance
Rinse the probe with clean water after measurements. If a more thorough
cleaning is required, remove the probe sleeve and clean the probe with a
cloth or a nonabrasive detergent. Make sure to reinsert the sleeve onto
the probe properly and in the right direction. After cleaning the probe,
recalibrate the instrument.
The platinum rings support is made of glass. Take great care while
handling the probe.
