Care and cleaning
The probe tip (5) is the most delicate part of the thermometer . It
has to be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings .
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a hygienic lens
filter, clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab
or soft cloth moistened with alcohol .
DO NOT use cleaners other than alcohol on
the probe tip . Use of other cleaners could
damage the tip .
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new hygienic lens filter
can be put on and a temperature measurement taken . If the probe
tip is damaged, please contact Consumer Relations .
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and product
exterior . DO NOT use abrasive cleaners . NEVER submerge this
thermometer in water or any other liquid .
Store the thermometer and hygienic lens filters in a dry location
free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight .
Additional hygienic lens filters (LF40 /LF20) are available at most
stores selling the Braun ThermoScan® 4 Ear thermometer .
