"Kitchen fractions"
A unique feature of your calculator is that it will display both actual
fractions and "kitchen fractions" during conversions or recipe scaling
calculations. That is, if the answer is 3/4 TBSP, it knows there is no
"3/4" of a tablespoon, or measuring spoon, available to measure with;
instead, it will show the rounded answer (i.e., 1 TBSP). For more
precise measuring, you can then press the
remainder amount to add or subtract, or simply convert the value to the
next lowest cooking unit (e.g., TSP), to avoid the remainder altogether.
"Kitchen Fractions," or whole units or fractions displayed in recipe
scaling calculations or conversions, include:

available Kitchen Fractions:

tablespoon
1 TBSP
1/2 TBSP
Note: 1/3 TSP, 2/3 TSP, 1/8 TBSP, 1/4 TBSP, 1/3 TBSP, 3/8 TBSP, 5/8 TBSP, 2/3 TBSP, 3/4
TBSP, 7/8 TBSP, 3/8 CUP and 5/8 CUP are not available kitchen fractions.
If you do not want to view "kitchen" values, you can display actual
values by pressing the cooking unit key again.
Important Note: The calculator will tell you when an actual value is displayed by displaying
the word "Actual."
