Washing Instructions

This scale has been treated with a liquid repelling Nanocoating which allows you to wash your scale without damaging the internal electronics. Please follow these instructions when washing:

❶ Hand wash only with mild soapy water.

❷ Wash only the platform. Rinse other parts with clean water if needed.

❸ After washing the scale, shake out excess water. It is best to do this by firmly grasping the scale in one hand, being careful not to press hard on the platform. Then tap it against your other hand to allow the water to drip out of the scale.

❹ Dry the exterior of the scale with a soft cloth or leave to dry on a dish rack.

DO NOT use liquid bleach or other harsh chemicals.

DO NOT use steel wool or abrasive sponges as this can scratch the surface.

DO NOT submerge the scale.

Avoid pouring water directly into your scale, as water may become trapped. If this occurs drying time may exceed 4 hours.

Water drops on the LCD display will not interfere with your weighing. These drops will dry and disappear.

If the scale displays “UNST” or the readings jump after washing, then water is still inside the scale. Simply shake out the excess water and let your scale dry longer.

Batteries should not come in contact with water. The battery compartment has a silicone seal to prevent this.

In the event you wash the scale with the battery compartment open, please dry out the battery compartment with a soft cloth and make sure the batteries are dry before re-installing the batteries.

If you open the compartment and lose the silicone seal you may replace the seal with an included spare seal.

The silicone seals are white in color. Two (2) spare seals are included.

By following these washing instructions, you will experience shorter drying times and your scale will provide you with years of reliable service.
