Everything About IR Thermometer

A tool that has gained popularity is the contactless digital thermometer, particularly when paired with the FlowTip Jug. This tiny device allows you to quickly monitor the temperature of your milk without the need for a probe, ensuring one less item to clean.

Key Features of Contactless Digital Thermometers

• Contactless Measurement: This thermometer allows you to check the temperature without direct contact, making it hygienic and convenient.

• Zero Cleanup: Since there is no need to insert a probe, you save time on cleaning.

• Surface Temperature Only: It measures only the surface temperature, not the internal temperature of liquids or materials. For accurate readings, ensure you swirl or stir your milk before measuring.

Important Considerations

While using an infrared (IR) thermometer, there are several factors to keep in mind:

• Beware of Invisible Steam: Steam can condense on the thermometer, affecting accuracy. Ensure the thermometer is clear of any moisture or particles.

• No See Through: IR thermometers do not measure through glass or transparent surfaces; they only measure the first point of contact.

• Spot Reading: Ensure the beam is aimed correctly at the surface to avoid reflections from other materials.

• Not for Body Temperature: This device is not suitable for measuring body temperatures. Use a medical thermometer for such purposes.

Replacing The Batteries of IR Thermometer

To keep your thermometer in top condition, it's essential to know how to replace the batteries easily. Just pull the tiny toggle outward and then slide open the housing.
