• Large LCD display
• Two weight unit systems: convertible g + ml / lb: oz. or Oz. (1 ounce = 28.35 g)

• Unstable weight, low battery and overload indicators

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

This appliance works with 1 lithium battery (3 V, type CR2032, included). If battery is not pre-installed, remove the lid of the battery housing on the rear part of the scale. Place the battery, the positive pole facing outwards, and then put back the lid. You can now use your scale

WEIGHT UNIT

Your scale allows you to use the metric measurement system (grams) OR the imperial system (pounds, ounces). Choose the measurement system at any time by pressing the "Unit" touch button (lb: oz...g), depending on the measurement system you wish to use. This button is situated on the glass platform. The scale uses the following sequence:
lb: oz => Oz => ml (for water only) => g => lb: oz...

USE

Put the scale on an even and hard surface, for instance a table or countertop. Avoid soft surfaces.

Weighing

1. Switch scale on using the "On/Tare" switch situated on the glass platform. The LCD screen will initialize.
2. The scale will turn on and the LCD display will show "0 g" or "0:0.0 lb: oz.". Change the weight unit as needed, by pressing the "Unit" touch button.
3. Put the object you want to weigh on the glass plate. The stabilized weight is displayed.
4. Remove the object from the platform.
5. The scale turns off automatically after 60 seconds. You can also switch the scale off anytime by keeping pressing on the "On/Tare" button for 2 seconds.
6. If scale goes off automatically, press on the "ON/TARE" touch button to switch on again.

Tare function (auto-zero)

The zero/tare function is extremely useful to calculate the weight of ingredients that cannot be put directly on the platform. For example, flour, or liquids, which require a container before weighing.

In order to use this function, place the empty container or object on the scale, and then press the "On/Tare" touch button near the LCD display. The scale will switch on and indicate 0g or 0:0.0 lb: oz.

In case that the scale was already switched on, simply press "On/Tare" with the object or empty container on it, so that the display will show "0" or "0:0.0". The "TARE" symbol is displayed.

Add the ingredient to weigh. The weight indicated on the display is only the weight of the ingredient added inside the container!

Note: When you remove the container from the platform, the LCD display will show the weight as negative (" – " will appear on the lefthand side). To reset, simply press "On/Tare" again.

OVERLOADING INDICATOR

If the "EEEE" symbol appears on the LCD screen, it means that the maximum weight accepted by your scale is exceeded. Please remove the object from the platform in order not to damage your scale.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

If the "LO" symbol is displayed on the LCD screen, it means that the battery of your scale is low in voltage (less than 2.5V), and should be replaced soon. Please dispose of the old batteries in an environmentally friendly way. An advance warning indicator is also supplied, when the symbol is displayed (if battery voltage is lower than 2.6V).

UNSTABLE WEIGHT INDICATOR

If the "unSt" symbol is displayed on the LCD screen, it means that the weight on the scale is not stabilized, or that the scale is not placed on a hard, level and flat surface. Place the scale on a flat stable surface and try again.

ERROR INDICATION

If the display shows symbols randomly or if the scale doesn't turn off automatically, it means that your scale has a problem (wrong initialization or weighing error).

Remove any object from the scale and wait for it to turn off. Then start again. If the problem persists, remove the battery for 10 seconds, and then put it back in place.

BATTERY

If your appliance does not work properly, it is probably because the battery is discharged. In that case, replace it by a new one of the same type (see paragraph "Before the first use"). Please dispose of the old batteries in an environmentally friendly way.

TIPS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE

• Be careful when manipulating the scale because it is a precision device.
• Clean the outside parts only with a lightly damp cloth.
• Never use abrasive products or chemicals to clean your scale.
• NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE NEAR WATER; NEVER IMMERSE IT IN WATER OR ANY LIQUID WHATSOEVER.
• Keep the scale in a cool and dry place.
