MODIS land surface temperature range very high

I have been trying to use MODIS (MOD11A1.006 Terra Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity Daily Global 1 km).

The LST, but in MODIS, the range of temperature is too high and is not starting from 0 °C (273 K) or -ve value. The range is as shown below:

LST_Day_1km 7500-65535 Kelvin Daytime Land Surface Temperature

How can I correct this to obtain a correct range?

If you look at the band information page for this dataset, it lists a 'scale' value of 0.02 of the LST_Day_1km band. This indicates images should be multiplied by 0.02 to get the correct value in kelvin.
