RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS
Operate the device in a room where the temperature ranges between 10 – 40 °C
(50 – 104 °F) and where the relative humidity is below 80%.
The temperature change must occur gradually and slowly.
The use of an anti-vibration table is recommended for obtaining stable and
repeatable weighing results.
Place the balance away from heat sources. Avoid exposing the balance to the
sunlight.| Avoid exposing the balance to a magnetic field. Do not weigh
magnetic substances.| Do not place the balance in a hazardous
area. Do not weigh explosive or flammable materials.
Make sure that the balance is placed on an even surface.| Do not place the

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
9.1. Guidelines and Precautions Prior to cleaning it is necessary to disconnect the device from the mains! Remove the plug from the outlet and disconnect all cables. Use soft cloth made of either natural or synthetic fibers exclusively. Avoid using stiff or hard fabric, as this may cause scratches on the surface!
Apply the cleanser to the cloth. Remember not to apply the cleanser directly
onto the device!
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. solvents, chlorine preparations,
corrosive chemicals, bleach).
Use neither sharp-structured nor scrubbing-purposed substances.
Make sure that neither dust nor liquid gets inside the weighing system (device
inside).
9.2. Cleaning Instructions
If it is necessary to disassemble the weighing chamber, follow the
instructions in section 11.3.
- GLASS PANES AND COMPONENTS can be cleaned using window cleaner.
- WEIGHING PANS AND STAINLESS STEEL OR ALUMINIUM COMPONENTS can be cleaned using a cloth slightly soaked in a solution of water and gentle cleanser (e.g. soap or dishwashing liquid).
- OPERATION PANEL AND HOUSING can be cleaned using a cloth slightly soaked in a solution of water and gentle cleanser (e.g. soap or dishwashing liquid).
- Dry sample leftovers can be removed using either a brush or a handheld vacuum cleaner.
- Clean components can be dried using a soft cloth or a dust-free paper towel. With this, the remaining moisture will be absorbed.
- Install all the components, providing they are completely dry.
