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 Consumer Relations.
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.
