Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
!
Never use concentrated acids, alkali solu-
tions or pure alcohol to clean the equip-
ment.
!
Do not allow liquids to penetrate the
equipment housing.
$
Use a brush or a soft, dry, lint-free cloth
to clean the scale.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean all stainless steel parts regularly.
Remove the stainless steel load plate and
thoroughly clean it separately. Use a damp
cloth or sponge to clean stainless steel
parts on the scale. You can use any com-
mercially available household cleaning
agent that is suitable for use on stainless
steel. Clean stainless steel surfaces by
wiping them down. Then clean the load
plate thoroughly, making sure to remove
all residues. Afterwards, wipe down stain-
less steel parts again using a clean, damp
cloth or sponge and allow the equipment
to dry. If desired, you can apply oil to the
cleaned surfaces as additional protection.
!
Solvents are permitted only for cleaning
stainless steel parts.
Corrosive Environment
$
Remove all traces of corrosive substances
from the scale on a regular basis.

parts of the packaging for future storage
or shipment of the equipment. Only the
original packaging provides the best
protection for shipment.

Safety Inspection
Safe operation of the scale is no longer
ensured in the following cases:
– If there is visible damage to the connect-
ing cable
– If the device no longer functions properly
– If the equipment has been stored for a
relatively long period under unfavorable
conditions
– If the equipment has been subjected to
rough handling during shipment
§
Make sure all warnings and safety
precautions are observed, and notify
your nearest Sartorius Service Center
or the International Technical Support
Unit based in Goettingen, Germany,
if any of the above occurs. Maintenance
and repair work may be performed only
by authorized Sartorius service techni-
cians who have access to the required
maintenance manuals and have received
the necessary training.
!
Only authorized service technicians may
open the equipment and perform mainte-
nance work; this ensures that operation
of the equipment is safe and trouble-free
and the warranty remains in effect.
