INTRODUCTION

Weighing is the quickest and most accurate way to measure most dry and solid ingredients such as sugar, flour and shortening for consistently reliable results. With your new Cuisinart® Kitchen Scale, weighing is simple and easy. Designed to meet all your household measuring needs, your scale will provide precise, consistent weighing of cooking/baking ingredients for the best results. Use your scale to weigh food portions specified in your dieting guides. You can even weigh oversized letters and packages to ensure you have the right amount of postage.

The Cuisinart® Kitchen Scale is compact, light and convenient to store. Operation and cleanup are fast and easy. It weighs in 1⁄8-ounce increments up to a maximum of 11 pounds (5 kg). This scale converts from ounces to grams at the touch of a button and weighs in gram increments up to a maximum of 5 kilograms.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove any labels or clear protective films from the scale before first use.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Your scale includes 2 AAA batteries. Insert batteries into the battery compartment situated underneath the scale.

NOTE: When "Lo" appears on the display screen, the batteries must be replaced.

WEIGHING ITEMS

1. Place the scale on a level, hard surface.
2. 1. Choose whether you want to weigh directly on the platform or in the stainless bowl.
   2. If weighing with the stainless bowl, place the bowl on the scale before you turn the scale on.
3. Press the button to turn the scale on. "8888" first appears on the display followed by "0" g, indicating the scale is ready for use.
4. Place the object/food item to be weighed on the scale and read the weight on the jumbo LCD screen.

NOTES: Weights are displayed in 1 g increments. The scale will read up to 5 kg, after which E is displayed on the left hand side of the screen followed by 3 dashes (E---). Do not touch any parts of the scale with your hands while weighing is in progress. The scale is very sensitive and may pick up extra readings.

CHANGING MODES

To change from metric (kg/g) to imperial (lbs/oz) mode at any time during use, press the MODE/TARE button once.

TARE FUNCTION

WEIGHING WITH A BOWL

You may want to weigh ingredients in our stainless bowl or your own household container. The tare option offsets the weight of the container so that you are only weighing the ingredient. If you remove the container from the scale, a minus weight (weight of bowl) appears in the display.

1. Place the bowl on the scale platform.
2. Press the button on the front panel. At first "8888" will appear. Wait until "0" appears on the display screen.
3. To tare, press and hold the MODE/TARE button for two seconds. "0" will appear. Place the ingredient into the bowl. The weight of the added ingredient appears.

ADD AND WEIGH FEATURE

If you want to reach a desired weight (e.g., 300 g flour) – you can use the add and weigh procedure.

1. Place your scale on a stable, level surface.
2. Press the button. Wait until "0" appears on the display.
3. Place the stainless bowl on the glass platform of the scale.
4. Zero out the weight of the empty bowl by pressing and holding the MODE/TARE button for 2 seconds. Wait until "0" appears on the scale. This will ensure that the weight of the empty bowl is subtracted from the total weight of the bowl and ingredients.
5. You are now ready to weigh your first ingredient. Place the ingredient into the bowl until the desired weight appears on the display.
6. You are now ready to weigh the next ingredient(s). Place additional ingredients in the bowl until the desired weight appears on the display.

NOTE: If you want to view the weight of individual ingredients as they are added to the bowl, then tare each time you add a new ingredient.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF

To conserve battery power, the scale automatically shuts off if left unused for approximately one minute. To turn the scale off, manually press and holdthe button for two seconds.

DISPLAY MESSAGES

The Cuisinart® Kitchen Scale provides the following display messages to simplify operation.

Displays when you switch the scale on. Wait until "0" appears to begin weighing.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Treating your scale with care will ensure proper use and years of excellent service. Wipe down the scale surface and touchpad buttons with a damp cloth.
