Locating a Hot Spot: To find a hot spot, use a scanning technique. Aim the ther-
mometer outside the area of interest, then scan across with an up and down motion
until you locate the hot spot.
Field of View: The target area must be at least as large as the spot size. In the dia-
gram above, Object 1 is the correct distance from the unit. Note the target
is slightly larger than the spot size being measured. Object 2 is too far away.
Distance & Spot Size: To ensure accurate temperature readings, the distance from
the target must be correct. The further the distance from the target,
the larger the spot size as above.
Reminders
• Measure surface temperature only. To measure internal temperatures of liquids or
food, stir contents and point unit into open container.
• Avoid thermal shock. Allow 30 minutes for unit to adjust to large changes in ambi-
ent temperature. Do not store unit below freezing.
• Close in on your target. The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it.
Refer to the D:S diagram above.
• Do not subject unit to excessive heat or cooling by holding it too close to target.
• Measuring shiny surfaces. Not recommended for use in measuring shiny or pol-
ished metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminium etc).

Lens cleaning: Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. Gently brush
remaining debris away with a camel hair brush. Carefully wipe the surface with a
moist cotton swab. The swab may be moistened with water or a water-based glass
cleaner. NOTE: DO NOT use solvents to clean the plastic lens.
Case Cleaning: To clean the exterior housing, use soap and water or a mild commer-
cial cleaner. Wipe with a damp sponge or soft rag.
