cloth or disposable wipe:
● mild soap and water solution
● 70% isopropyl alcohol

After cleaning/disinfecting, wipe with a cloth dampened with water and then with a clean dry
cloth. To avoid residue build-up or damp surfaces, ensure the screen and scale parts are
completely dry after cleaning.

finish.
