mild soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning
agents, or sprays. Do not attempt to lubricate or open scale casing as this will void
your warranty.

electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Do not drop, kick, or jump on it. Treat it with
care to ensure the best performance.

household products may affect the electronic components of your scale. Do not store
scale on its side.
