The life of the warranty is different for each product - see your product's instruction booklet for its specific warranty.

An In-Oven Thermometer is designed to be left in the oven to monitor the temperature of the item as it is cooking. An Instant-Read Thermometer is meant to take a “sampling” temperature of the item and should not be left in the oven. At no point should an Instant-Read Thermometer be used as an In-Oven Thermometer, doing so will invalidate the warranty and may damage the product.

All Polder probe thermometers are compatible with the Ultra Probe replacement probe 358

We recommend using your thermometer only as an instant read under these conditions. When using the continuous read feature please note:
1- Be careful not to sever or damage the lead or probe with the cooker lid.
2- Do not expose the probe or lead to direct flames. Probes damaged due to misuse will not be replaced free of charge under warranty. (See your thermometer's instruction sheet to read your particular thermometer's warranty in full.)
3- Always wear a heat resistant glove when touching the metal probe or wire during or just after cooking. DO NOT TOUCH IT WITH BARE HANDS.

No, as this is a part of the structure of the Ironing Board.
