Maintenance Tips
-
Clean platform daily: Wipe the weighing surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove flour, dough residue, and prevent buildup.
-
Avoid overloading: Do not exceed the 16 lb rated capacity — overloading can damage the load cell and reduce accuracy.
-
Store in dry environment: Moisture and humidity can affect internal components and lead to rust; keep the scale in a dry, cool area when not in use.
-
Inspect for debris: Check under the platform and around buttons for trapped flour or dough — buildup can impact scale performance.
-
Calibrate periodically: Use known weights to verify accuracy and recalibrate if deviations appear, especially in high‑volume baking environments.
-
Handle with care: Avoid heavy impacts or dropping — even small shocks can damage internal sensors or affect calibration.
