Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean all stainless steel parts regularly.
Remove the stainless steel weighing
pan and thoroughly clean it separately.

the stainless steel parts on the balance.

for use on stainless steel. Clean stainless
steel surfaces by wiping them down.

additional protection.
