OBH Nordica electronic kitchen scale
Before use
Before the kitchen scale is taken into use for the first time, please read this instruction manual
thoroughly and keep it for future use.
There are several different types of scales:
1. The traditional mechanical scale that estimates the weight on the basis of spring action
– subsequently the weight can be read from a dial.
2. The digital scale which is in fact also a mechanical scale with the exception that weight
measurements are read from a display.
3. The modern electronic scale, which performs weighing by means of an electronic
sensor and converts the weight electronically for display reading. The advantage of
the electronic scale over the mechanical or digital scales is first and foremost that it
performs far more accurate measurements – and will continue to do so. The mechanical
and digital scales become increasingly inaccurate over time, partly due to worn spring
in these types of scales.
Please note that electronic scales are sensitive to major temperature swings. Inaccuracies
may occur if the scale is cold. The scale consequently works best at normal room temperature.
Replacement and insertion of batteries
The scale requires 2 type CR2032 lithium batteries that must be inserted before the scale
can be taken into use. Allow the scale to adapt to normal room temperature.
To insert batteries remove the battery door on the back of the scale. The batteries can now
be inserted or replaced by placing them in the battery compartment so that the batteries are
firmly fixed – make sure that the batteries are placed correctly.
Re-attach battery door. When the battery needs to be replaced
display.
Weighing
When the batteries have been inserted, switch on the weight by pressing the TARE/ON/OFF
button in the right lower corner. After a few seconds "0" appears in the display together with
the unit selected the last time the scale was used. The scale is now ready for use. The scale
is capable of weighing up to a maximum of 5 kg.
Toogle between g, fl.oz., lb oz, and ml readings by pressing the UNIT button to the right of
the display.
Reset
This kitchen scale is equipped with a convenient reset function which enables all ingredients
to be weighed directly in the same bowl, one at a time. When you have finished weighing the
first ingredient, the scale is reset by a quick tap on the TARE/ON/OFF button. If the ingredient
weighs less than 5 g, the display will read "0 g".
