Care instructions
There are no detailed cleaning instructions from the manufacturer, but the scale is built for brewing environments with IPX3-rated water resistance and can withstand splashes during use. We recommend gently wiping the surface after use and avoiding liquid entering the charging port. The silicone mat can be lifted off if needed for easier wiping. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a precision tool, not a product to be rinsed under running water.
