Keep your Conductivity probe clean. Do not strike the probe against any hard
surface, and never scratch the stainless steel pins with hard material.

Wash the probe thoroughly with tap or deionised water after each use.

Do not immerse the probe in oily solutions. To remove oil films or oxidation,
clean electrode with alcohol.

Clean it with a mild detergent solution. Blot it dry. Wash thoroughly in tap water
and then in deionised water. Recalibrate the meter after cleaning it.
