Properly cleaning your Cooper-Atkins instruments gives you quality performance and extends its life!
GENERAL INSTRUMENT CARE GUIDELINES:
Do not clean with abrasives or solvents, use only mild detergents. Avoid contact with corrosive materials such as alcohol or other caustic cleaning agents. Wipe with a soft damp cloth to avoid scratching. If the unit is not waterproof, do not submerge or use excessive liquids when cleaning. Refer to our website for product specifications and waterproof ratings. Avoid exposing the instrument / timer to severe shock. Be sure to utilize the carrying case, storage pouch or wall-mount bracket (if supplied with your product). This provides a safe storage area and prevents build up of dust. After the instrument is cleaned and sanitized, dry and store. Do not use or store in excessively hot or cold areas.
INFRARED THERMOMETERS:
Do not allow water or soap to get inside the instrument or on the lens. Avoid splashes and spills and do not submerge. The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the instrument and should be kept clean. Care should be taken when cleaning the lens. To remove particles from the lens, either wipe with a soft damp cloth, cotton swab with medical alcohol (on lens only), or use low pressure, compressed air. Do not use solvents to clean the lens as this may cause damage. Allow the lens to fully dry before using. Store at temperatures between 4° to 149°F
(-15° to 65°C).
THERMOCOUPLE/THERMISTOR INSERTION PROBES & DIGITAL/BI-METAL THERMOMETERS:
To avoid cross-contamination, always clean thermometer stems thoroughly before and after each use. Do not allow the probe tip to remain in sanitizing solution for an extended period of time. Remove stubborn grease from the stem with a scouring pad or fine steel wool. Cooper-Atkins probe wipes help meet HACCP guidelines and are an ideal way of cleaning and sanitizing probe shafts between temperature checks. Avoid exposing the probe / thermometer to extreme temperatures.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
If there is no display when the thermometer is turned on, check the condition of the batteries. Also check that the battery terminals are clean and batteries are properly installed. If batteries show signs of corrosion, remove immediately and replace. Refer to the product Operating Instructions or User Guide and Instrument Warranty booklet for battery installation and replacement guidelines.
ANTI-MICROBIAL ADDITIVE:
The anti-microbial additive used in specified instrument housings, thermometer sheaths and timers, inhibits the growth of bacteria on the unit. However, it does not protect users or others against food bacteria.
