Section VI — Cleaning & Disinfecting
Cleaning
Genius 3 Thermometer Body, Base, and Coil Cord:
A mild, common dish washing liquid detergent, such as Dawn®, should be used for general cleaning of the thermometer body,
base, and coil cord. This detergent should be used with a 20:1 ratio water to detergent mixture. The water and detergent mixture
should not exceed 55°C (130°F).
Caution: The probe tip of the Genius 3 thermometer should not be cleaned with mild detergent.
Genius 3 Thermometer Probe Tip and Lens:
The probe tip and lens can be cleaned using a 70% Isopropyl alcohol wipe such as Webcol™*, Curity™*, or equivalent.
Caution: The use of other cleaners and disinfectants may cause significant damage to the Genius 3 thermometer and base
and may void warranty. Never use an abrasive pad on any surface of the Genius 3 thermometer.
Cleaning frequency:
It is recommended that the Genius 3 thermometer, base, and coil cord be cleaned after each use.
Directions for Cleaning:
Genius 3 Thermometer Body, Base, and Coil Cord:
While cleaning the Genius 3 thermometer body, a probe cover should be installed on the thermometer. This will prevent
damage to the probe tip and probe lens. Clean the surfaces of the thermometer body, base, and coil cord with a damp cloth
using a mild detergent as previously described, removing all visible soil. Ensure all excess fluid is squeezed from the cloth before
cleaning. If the cloth is excessively wet, the detergent and water solution may penetrate the thermometer and affect functionality.
After cleaning the thermometer body, base, and coil cord wipe the thermometer with a clean lint free damp cloth to remove the
mild detergent mixture. Dry the thermometer with a clean lint free cloth. Never use an abrasive pad or an abrasive cleaner on the
Genius 3 thermometer, base, or coil cord.
Genius 3 Thermometer Probe Tip and Lens:
The thermometer probe tip and lens can be cleaned using a 70% isopropyl wipe such as Webcol™*, Curity™* or equivalent.
Carefully remove all foreign matter from the thermometer probe tip and lens. After the foreign matter has been removed, dry
the lens at the end of the thermometer probe tip with a lint free swab, cotton ball, or lens wipe. The thermometer lens must
be free from fingerprints and / or smudges for proper operation. After cleaning the thermometer probe tip and lens, allow the
thermometer to air dry completely.
