Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

The MAXUS Coffee Scale has an IP65 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes cleaning simple. Wipe the scale with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaners.

The heat-resistant cover and IP65 waterproof design allow for easy cleaning.

Storage

Store the scale in a dry, cool place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Ensure the protective cap for the Type-C port is securely closed when not charging.

Troubleshooting

• Inconsistent Readings: Ensure the scale is placed on a flat, stable, and level surface. Avoid placing it near vibrating machinery or in drafty areas. Recalibration may be necessary if persistent inconsistencies occur (refer to manufacturer's website for calibration instructions if not provided in packaging).
• Scale Not Turning On: Check the battery level. If low, recharge the scale using the provided USB Type-C cable.
• Display Error Messages: If an error message appears (e.g., "EEEE"), it may indicate an overload. Remove items from the scale immediately. If the error persists, contact customer support.
• Scale Shuts Off When Wet: While the scale is IP65 waterproof, excessive water directly on the display or buttons can sometimes interfere with operation. Wipe off any liquid immediately. If the issue persists, ensure the charging port's protective cap is sealed and allow the scale to dry completely before attempting to use it again.
