Switching Weight Units

To switch between metric units (g, mL) and imperial units (oz, lb: oz, fl'oz), turn on the scale, then press the Mode button.

Note: For accurate results, place the scale on a hard, dry, flat surface, and keep the scale away from dirt, dust, vibrations, wind, air currents, and electromagnetic interference.

Measurement

1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface. [Figure 2.1]
   
   Figure 2.1
2. Press ON/OFF to turn on the scale. Make sure the scale shows "0". Press Mode to select your desired measuring unit.
   1. Weight: Choose between grams ("g"), ounces ("oz"), or both pounds and ounces ("lb: oz").
   2. Milk / Water: Scale measures in milliliters ("ml") and fluid ounces ("fl'oz").

Note:

• If you're using the bowl or another container to hold the items or liquid you're measuring, first place the empty container on the scale. Press ZERO to tare the container's weight (see Zero/Tare Function).
• Milk Mode accounts for the higher density of milk to provide a more accurate reading when measuring milk for recipes.

3. Place your item on the scale.
4. Wait for the weight on the display to stabilize.
5. When you are finished weighing your items, press ON/OFF to turn off the scale.

Note:

• To reset the scale, remove all weight from the platform and press ZERO.
• To conserve battery power, the scale will automatically turn off after 2 minutes of inactivity.

Zero/Tare Function

Whenever you measure liquid or other items inside the included bowl, you can use the zero/tare function to remove the bowl's weight from the final measurement. You can also use other containers in place of the bowl.

1. Place the scale on a flat surface, then press ON/OFF to turn on the scale.
2. Place the bowl or container onto the weighing surface.
3. Press ZERO. The screen will display "0" again.
