The thermometer body should be cleaned immediately after contact with fats, spices, vinegar or strongly flavoured/coloured foods. Avoid contact with acids, such as citrus juice.

Before first use
Open the battery compartment on the rear of the thermometer. Remove the plastic isolator tab from the battery compartment (if present) prior to use. Check that the battery is inserted following the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment and ensure the cover is firmly in place.
