Care And Cleaning - Detecto APEX-RI Owner's Manual

CARE AND CLEANING

NOTE: The Detecto apex® Portable Scale with Remote Indicator contains no user-
serviceable parts and maintenance should be limited to an occasional cleaning and
battery replacement as required.
Do not submerge the scale in water, pour, or spray water directly on it to clean. The
scale is not waterproof and covering it with water will damage it and void the
warranty.
Always remove power before cleaning.
Do not use wire brushes, abrasives, or cleaning tools such as steel pads and
scrapers, which will scratch the painted surface. Instead, use soft cloths or plastic
scouring pads for cleaning.
When possible, use treated water. Hard water can leave behind deposits. Soft water
is much gentler on the painted steel's surface.
Avoid the use of acetone, thinner or other volatile solvents, and abrasive type
cleaners for cleaning. If required, a mild solvent such as mineral spirits can be used
to remove oil, grease, tars, wax, and similar substances. Uses a cloth dampened with
mineral spirits and apply only to areas that are contaminated. Follow up the use of
this mild solvent with detergent cleaning and rinsing.
