How to use the thermometer correctly?

(1) Throw the thermometer below 35℃ before use.

(2) Put the thermometer under your tongue (just hold it, don't bite and talk hard).

(3) Measure for at least 3-5 minutes, 7 minutes is the best.

(4) Take out the thermometer, read the temperature data, wipe it clean with toilet paper, and then disinfect it with alcohol cotton pad (rotate it from the tail end to the mercury end).

When measuring the surface temperature of luminous objects such as aluminum and stainless steel, the reflection of the surface will affect the reading of infrared thermometer. Before reading the temperature, a rubber strip can be placed on the metal surface, and after the temperature is balanced, the temperature in rubber strip area can be measured.

If the infrared thermometer can walk back and forth from the kitchen to the cold storage area and still provide accurate temperature measurement, it will take some time to reach temperature balance in the new environment before measurement. It is best to put the thermometer in a place where it is often used.

Using infrared thermometer to read the internal temperature of liquid food, such as soup or sauce, must be stirred before measuring the surface temperature. Keep the thermometer away from the steam to avoid polluting the lens and causing incorrect reading.
