5. Do not expose the probe directly to flames. Do not put the probe  
in foods to exceed cooking temperatures of 500°F (260°C), as this  
may reduce the life and accuracy of the thermometer sensor.  
6. Do not use this thermometer in a microwave oven.  
7. Moisture inside the plug-in opening of the thermometer will result  
in an incorrect temperature reading. Dry the sensor plug with a  
cloth every time before plugging it into the thermometer.  
8. DO NOT USE THE CORD AND PROBE FOR OVEN  
TEMPERATURES HIGHER THAN 500°F (260 °C).  
9. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak.  
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, carbon-  
zinc (standard) or Nickel-Cadmium (rechargeable) batteries. Re-  
move the batteries if the thermometer will not be used for a long  
period of time.
