Cleaning and Maintenance
- After each use, wipe the stainless steel surface of the scale with a clean, damp cloth to remove any food residues or spills.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the stainless steel surface.
- For tough stains or food particles, use a mild detergent with water on a soft cloth. Gently rub the affected area and then wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
- Use a soft, dry cloth to dust off the LCD display and control buttons.
- If necessary, slightly dampen the cloth with water (or a mild cleaning solution) and gently wipe the display and buttons. Ensure no liquid seeps into the scale.
- Do not immerse the scale in water or any other liquid. The scale is not waterproof, and exposure to excessive moisture can damage the electronic components.
