ETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT
Instrument functions
These digital diet kitchen scales are used to
weigh food and monitor diet. Weight is dis-
played in 1 g graduations. The scales are
designed for private use. The following func-
tions can thus be performed quickly and
easily:
• measuring the weight of foodstuffs up to
5000 g (weighing mode).
• determining various nutritional values
(protein content, fat content, cholesterol,
carbohydrate content) of 1000 foodstuffs.
• determining the energy value of 1000
foodstuffs in kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules
(kJ).
• calculating the carbohydrate content in
bread units (BE)
• storing
foodstuffs
weighed over a specific period and dis-
playing the totals (storage mode).

AFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
Note that you must not take any medica-
tion (e.g. administration of insulin) based
solely on the nutritional information of the
the diet scale. Check the nutritional in-
formation against a second source before
administering medication (e.g. literature
on the subject, nutritional courses).
A plausibility check is particularly impor-
tant in view of possible operating errors
(e.g. typing errors when entering informa-
tion) as well as possible deviations of
nutritional food values from the approxi-
mate values stored in the diet scale. In
serious cases, this could lead to errors in
administering medication, for which we
cannot assume liability.
which have been
The diet kitchen scales also have the follow-
ing functions:
• Additional weighing function (tare function)
for weighing foodstuffs directly one after
the other in one bowl
• Possibility to switch between grams and
ounces
• Automatic switch-off function after 90
seconds
• Automatic warning function when the up-
per weighing range limit of 5000 g is ex-
ceeded
• 'Change battery' display when batteries
are low
IMPORTANT
• The values stored in the scale for
finished products and mixtures (e.g.
Black Forest gateau) may be subject
to relatively great deviations depend-
ing on the manufacturer or prepara-
tion. With finished products, we there-
fore recommend comparing the values
with the information given by the ma-
nufacturer on the packaging and, with
mixtures, we recommend calculating
the nutritional value by addition of the
separate ingredients.
• The stored nutritional values for the
individual food items are programmed
into the scale in good faith and in ac-
cordance with the applicable data at
the time of printing the instructions for
use.
• If foods have no information (display:

function. The end result could be in-
correct.
