Do not wash an electronic kitchen scale like a plate. Tefal's Optiss BC50U5V0 support page instructs users to wipe the body with a slightly damp cloth, dry it thoroughly, and never submerge it. The cover shows a different Escali-brand scale, not the Tefal model; always prioritize your own model's manual.

1. Switch the scale off and remove all ingredients and containers. If the model has a cable or rechargeable power source, follow its instructions before cleaning.
2. Check the model and care notes. This guide uses Tefal Optiss BC50U5V0; removable bowls and lids may have different instructions from the electronic body.
3. Lightly dampen and wring out a soft cloth. Tefal recommends wiping the scale with a slightly damp cloth, not pouring or spraying water onto it.
4. Gently wipe the weighing platform and exterior, keeping moisture away from display and button gaps. Tefal warns against abrasive cleaning products.
5. Use a dry cloth and let the scale dry completely. Tefal explicitly warns not to immerse the appliance, so do not rinse the entire scale or place it in the dishwasher.
6. Return it to a flat dry surface and check the display. Keep hot containers and other heat sources away, and consult the exact model's support instructions if it malfunctions.
