Routine care

RWipe the outer surface of the product with a soft moist cloth.

RDo not use benzine, thinner, or any abrasive powder.

RIf the probe unit’s metal probes come into contact with a foreign material (oil, detergent, etc.), the probes may repel water and therefore will not be able to properly detect a water leak. Periodically check the metal probes and wipe away any water or foreign material that has become adhered to the probes.
