Care and Maintenance

• Regularly clean the scale’s weighing platform and removable bowl with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that may damage the surface.
• Ensure that the scale is unplugged or powered off before cleaning.
• If you use the included removable bowl, wash it thoroughly with mild soap and warm water after each use. Rinse and dry it completely before storage.
