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.

• Dispose of old batteries properly and in accordance with local regulations.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the scale yourself. Opening the scale may void the warranty and can be dangerous.
