    7. MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES In order to ensure safety in the course of cleaning, it is necessary to disconnect the device from the mains. With this condition met, uninstall the weighing pan and other detachable components. Cleaning the weighing pan while still installed may cause damage of the measuring system.
  • Page 12: Cleaning Stainless Steel Components

    Avoid drying the panes either using paper towel or forced air circulation since some fibres, grains or contamination of other type could permeate into the panes thus causing weighing errors. We do not recommend using driers when drying measuring glass tools. It is a frequent treatment to leave glass components on a rack to dry.
