What make/model?

Go to http://www.safety1st.com/usa/eng/Products/Child-Care/Thermometers/?start=0 and find your thermometer. Click on the picture, towards the bottom there is a section you can click on called instructions. Then it will bring up a new menu it will ask you to enter your product type, model, and manufacture date and you can download the instructions from there. I hope this helps.

Go to http://safety1st.djgusa.com/product_instructions/en/49502_ins_110802.pdf
or go to safety1st.com (it will redirect you to the new website), click on the upper right "customer care" link, then click on "Instruction Manuals" and search by model number.

According to the 10428 manual from Safety 1st:
"When the battery is exhausted. Dispose of the thermometer as the battery is non-replaceable. Be aware of any local regulations concerning disposal of this product. The battery cover
is sonic-welded to the main housing of the thermometer, the battery is well sealed inside the thermometer to reduce the risk
of being swallowed by children."

Use a thermometer to check the actual temp of the water to see if the units temp probe is accurate. Also what is the max temp allowed by the spas safety program...owners manual.

You may not need anything. Most people test their oven with a dial type oven thermometer. They are slow to react and often not very accurate. When I test an oven or install a new thermostat, I use a digital thermometer with a remote temperature probe, hanging from the center of the oven, which shows the temp in tenths of a degree. I let the oven cycle on and off at least three times, then take the high and lower readings on the next cycle and average that out to see what the actual oven temp is. Most of the time, if there is a dial type thermometer in the oven it is very slow to react. After 3 to 5 cycles, they often show close to what the actual oven temp is, but the only way to know for sure is to use the more accurate digital thermometer. Most ranges with digital displays can be adjusted + or - about 35 degrees. Check your users manual for this info, but don't mess with it until you have checked the oven with a digital thermometer! Please don't bother rating this solution, as anything but a Fix-Ya drops my score. Thanks.
