Page 7: Recipe Scaling Keys
Use the keys below to “scale” recipes (when you’re cooking or bak- ing for less or more than the recipe’s stated serving size, and have to calculate adjusted ingredient quantities). Your calculator quickly converts recipe ingredients to their proper proportions, so you can cook or bake precisely and avoid measurement errors. -

(see following section for more details).

Note: It is incorrect to convert volumes to weights and vice versa (weights vary, e.g., a cup of flour weighs less than a cup of water); thus, the calculator will not allow you to do so. The calculator will display an error and the word “Sorry” if this occurs. -
Page 12: Converting Fractions To Decimals
CONVERTING FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS Your calculator will also convert cooking units to and from their frac- tional or decimal values. To do this, enter the value, and then con- tinue pressing the cooking unit key multiple times until you see the decimal value. -
Page 13: Using The Timer(S)

See instructions below: Using the Timer(s) — Press [Timer 1] or [Timer 2] to access the built-in timer(s) or timer mode. - Page 14 Timer 1 emits a fast beep, Timer 2 a slow beep. To clear the timer alarm, press either timer key. Timer Reminder & Alarm — If you are in “calculator” mode and do not press a key for 11 minutes, the running timer will be displayed as a reminder.

Page 15: Recipe Scaling Examples
RECIPE SCALING EXAMPLES One of the most useful features of the KitchenCalc Pro is its ability to adjust or automatically scale recipes. It calculates new ingredient amounts when you change the number of servings a recipe makes (e.g., when you want it to serve 10 people instead of only 4). This allows you to cook or bake with precision by measuring the correct ingredient quantities. -
