Service
Regular servicing of your balance by a service technician pro-
longs its working life. Ask your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for
details of servicing options.
Cleaning
Every now and then, clean the weighing pan, draftshield element,
draftshield (depending on the model), housing and terminal of
your balance using a damp cloth. Your balance is made of high-
quality, durable materials and can therefore be cleaned with a
standard, mild cleaning agent.
Please observe the following notes
• On no account use cleaning agents, which contain solvents
or abrasive ingredients, as this can result in damage to the
terminal overlay.
• After working with chemicals, it is advisable to wash or clean
the weighing pan and the bottom plate (if draft shield fitted).
• Although all materials are of high quality, corrosion may occur
if corrosive substances are deposited on chrome steel for an
extended period of time (and if air is excluded, for example by
a coating of grease).
• Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with the balance or
the AC adapter!
• Never open the balance or AC adapter – they contain no com-
ponents, which can be cleaned, repaired or replaced by the
user.
• Soiled protective covers can be replaced on all balance types
(see Optional equipment).
