Indicator
The indicator contains no user-serviceable parts and maintenance should be limited to an
occasional cleaning and battery replacement as required.

General Cleaning Instructions

• Do not submerge the scale or indicator in water, or pour or spray water directly on them
to clean. The scale and indicator are not waterproof and covering them with water will
damage them and void the warranty.
• Always remove power before cleaning.
• When cleaning, use only damp soft cloths or plastic scouring pads for cleaning cloth
and a mild non-abrasive detergent.
• DO NOT use acetone, thinner or other volatile solvents for cleaning.
• DO NOT use things which will scratch the surface, such as steel pads, wire brushes and
scrapers.
Powder Painted Steel Care and Cleaning
While powder painted steel is attractive and so durable that it will last many years longer than
ordinary painted steel, it is desirable to clean it thoroughly on a routine basis. There are three
basic things that should be remembered when cleaning powder painted steel.
1. 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. Clean food equipment frequently to avoid build-up.
2. When possible, use treated water. Hard water can leave behind deposits. Soft water is
much gentler on the painted steel's surface.
3. 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. Use 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.
