Care and cleaning
The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It has to be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings.
If the thermometer is ever accidentally used without a lens filter, clean the lens as follows:
•Hold the appliance with the probe tip facing down to prevent liquid from entering the probe tip area. Very gently wipe the sur- face with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
•After cleaning, allow at least 45 minutes drying time before reat- taching a new, clean lens filter and taking a temperature.
If the probe tip is damaged, contact Braun.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge the 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. The ambient temperature at the storage location should remain fairly constant and within the range of 50 °F to 104 °F (10 °C - 40 °C).
Always keep cleaning solutions and rubbing alcohol away from children.
