16. Maintenance and Cleaning
The product is maintenance-free for you. Servicing or repair must only be carried out by a specialist or specialist
workshop. There are no parts that require maintenance by you inside the product. Therefore, never open it (except for
the procedure described in these operating instructions for mounting and inserting or replacing the batteries).
A dry, soft and clean cloth is sufficient for cleaning the outside of the weather station.
Do not apply too much pressure to the display; this can cause scratch marks or failures of the display.
Remove dust on the weather station with a long-haired, soft and clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.
To remove contamination at the outdoor sensor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with lukewarm water.
Never use any aggressive cleaning agents, cleaning alcohol or other chemical solutions, since these may
damage the casing or even impair function.
Check the collection containers of the rain sensor from time to time; foliage may clog the openings at the bottom of the
collection container.
