Getting Started (Setup)
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the thermometer spatula from its packaging.
- Battery Installation: The device typically comes with a pre-installed battery. If not, or if the display is dim, open the battery compartment (usually located on the back of the display unit) and insert a new battery (e.g., LR44 or equivalent) with the correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the silicone spatula and the metal probe with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not immerse the digital display unit.
- Assembly (if detached): If the probe is separate from the spatula, gently insert the probe into the designated slot on the spatula handle until it clicks into place. Ensure it is firmly seated.
