Always be sure your Genius™ 3 thermometer and base are clean, especially the probe tip lens. A dirty lens will reduce the temperature reading.

Always check the lens before use. It should have a mirror-like finish and be free of debris, fingerprints, and smudges.

For routine lens cleaning, wipe with a lint-free cloth. If the lens remains soiled, clean with a cloth or cotton bud dampened with isopropyl alcohol.

Follow this cleaning by using a lint free swab, cotton ball or lens wipe to remove any excess isopropyl alcohol.

To clean the handset and base, use warm water and a mild detergent. Water temperature should not exceed 130˚F.

Return the thermometer to its base unit and dry completely with a clean lint-free cloth before using the thermometer.
