General Care and Maintenance
To keep your QB Series balance operating properly, the device needs to be maintained and cared for. Keep the
housing and platform clean by wiping them off with a soft damp cloth daily. If necessary, use a slight solution of
water and dish soap to clean away stains and dirt. Check under the platform support area for any build up of dirt
and debris that could interfere with the mechanism. Keep your calibration masses in a safe, dry area. Unplug the
AC adapter when the device is not in use. For long term storage, remove the internal battery (if equipped).
