Cleaning the Probe
Wipe the probe and cord regularly with a cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent
solution.
As needed, clean the probe and cord with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, a 10% chlorine
bleach solution, or a nonstaining disinfectant.
Do not immerse or soak the probe in any type of fluid.
Do not use steam, heat, or gas sterilization of the probe.
Do not autoclave the probe.
Cleaning the Probe Well
Remove the probe well from the unit. Unplug the latching probe connector to prevent the device
from consuming power while you are cleaning the probe well.
Clean the inner and outer surfaces of the probe well by swabbing them with a cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution, a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, a 10% chlorine bleach solution,
or a nonstaining disinfectant. Immerse the probe well in mild detergent solution if necessary.
Do not use hard or sharp objects to clean the probe well. Hard or sharp objects can damage the
probe well, which could cause the unit to fail.
Do not use steam, heat, or gas sterilization on the probe well.
Do not autoclave the probe well.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces before reassembling the instrument.
Reconnect the latching probe connector to the thermometer. Be sure that the connector snaps
