7.Cleaning and disinfection
7.1 Cleaning
Wipe the thermometer shell with a slightly damp soft cloth, and
gently dry the body with a piece of tissue paper. Take care not to
scratch the surface of the optical filter and digital display screen.
Only use cotton swabs dipped in anhydrous ethanol to clean
the optical filter.
Keep the optical filter away from water during the cleaning
process.
The optical filter may be scratched if it is cleaned with a piece of
tissue paper, resulting in inaccurate readings.
Do not allow the optical filter to make contact with hard objects.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for
cleaning.
Never immerse any part of the thermometer in liquid, or allow
liquid to enter the device.
7.2 Disinfection
Disinfect the thermometer body with a soft cloth slightly moistened
with 75% medical alcohol.
Do not use 75% medical alcohol to disinfect the optical
filter, as it contains water which may damage the optical filter.
Do not use hot steam or ultraviolet radiation for disinfection, or
else the thermometer may be damaged or quickly aged.
