Care and Maintenance
Service
Regular servicing by a trained KERN dealer will
extend the service life of your balance and ensure
its continued weighing accuracy. KERN can offer
you service contracts, with your choice of regular
maintenance intervals. The optimum maintenance
interval depends on the operating conditions at the
place of installation and on the individual tolerance
requirements.
Repairs
Repair work must be performed by trained service
technicians. Any attempt by untrained persons to
perform repairs may lead to hazards for the user.
Cleaning
Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (mains
supply). If you have an interface cable connected
to the balance port, unplug it from the port,
Clean the balance using a piece of cloth which
has been wet with a mild detergent (soap)
After cleaning, wipe down the balance with
a soft, dry cloth.
Removing and Cleaning the Weighing Pan:
Lift up and remove the weighing pan together with
the pan support by gripping them from under the
shield ring. Make sure that you do not damage the
weighing system in doing so.
Make sure that no liquid enters the balance housing.
!
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents
!
or similar agents).
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean all stainless steel parts regularly. Remove the
stainless steel weighing pan and thoroughly clean
it separately. Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean
any stainless steel parts on the balance. Only use
commercially available household cleaning agent
that is suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean
stainless steel surfaces by wiping them down. Then
rinse thoroughly, making sure to remove all residues.
Afterwards, allow the balance to dry. If desired, you
can apply oil to the cleaned surfaces as additional
protection. Solvents are permitted for use only on
stainless steel parts.
