Start-up

Removing iso-strips

The battery is already inserted upon delivery and fitted with an iso-strip to prevent it from discharging ahead of time. In order to start up the scale, you must remove the iso-strip.

The battery compartment is located on the underside of the device.

1. Push the locking tab slightly towards the battery compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery compartment cover slightly and pull out the iso-strip.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover. Make sure the locking tab clicks back into place.

Inserting/changing the battery

For use, you need a 3 V CR2032 battery.

1. Open the battery compartment and remove the old battery.
2. Slide the battery against the contact springs under the large, square retaining tabs and then press it downwards. The battery clicks into place under the opposite retaining lugs so that it sits firmly in its holder. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-). The plus pole (+) must point upwards.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Suggestions for changing the battery:

• The batteries need to be changed when "Lo" or nothing is shown on the display.
• Only use the type of battery that is specified in the "Technical data".
• Dispose of old batteries in an environmentally appropriate way.

Operation

Weighing

1. Place the scale on an even, firm and dry surface. Carefully position the scale in order to avoid hard shocks to the sensors/feet and therefore any damage.
2. If necessary, place the measuring cup on the weighing surface, as described in "Removing/placing the measuring cup".
3. To turn on the scale, briefly press the ON/OFF/TARA button.
4. Wait a moment until the display shows "0" permanently.
5. Repeatedly press Hold/Unit to select the desired unit of measurement. The options are "g" (gramme), "lboz" (pound), "ml" (millilitre) and "fl.oz." (fluid ounce). Pay attention to the indication on the display.
   Choose "ml" or "fl.oz" when you want to weigh liquids.
6. Place the item to be weighed in the measuring cup.
7. Read the measured weight.

You can also use the measuring cup by using the scales for quantity measurement. In this case, there is no need to turn on the scale.

Resetting the scale to zero

If the display still shows values even though the measuring cup is empty (for example, if the scale is not optimally positioned or a TARE value is still displayed; see next section), you must reset the scale to zero.

• Briefly press ON/OFF/TARA.

Using the tare function (TARE)

This function is practical when baking, for example, if you would like to add another ingredient to the ingredients already on the scale.

1. Briefly press ON/OFF/TARA to reset the scale to "0".
2. Add the new item or substance. The weight of the added item or substance is shown on the display.
3. Repeat the process whenever you would like to add more ingredients. The process can be repeated as often as needed until the capacity limit (3 kg) is reached.

Hold function

If the hold function is enabled, the display will still show the weight even if the item to be weighed has been removed.

1. Perform the weighing, as described in "Weighing".
2. Briefly press the Hold/Unit button.
   The display shows "H", the hold function is enabled.
   If you now remove the item to be weighed or the measuring cup, the the display will continue to show the measured weight.
3. To turn off the hold function, briefly press Hold/Unit again and the "H" symbol will disappear.

Switching off the scale

• Keep the ON/OFF/TARA button pressed for a few seconds until the display goes out.

The scale will automatically switch off if it is not used for approx. 90 seconds.

Removing/placing the measuring cup

1. Push the locking and unlocking tabs (see arrow) upwards.
   
2. Lift off the measuring cup.

To place:

• Place the measuring cup straight on top of the scale from above. Make sure the locking tab clicks into place.

Resetting the scale

Reset the scale to its default settings if unusual or obviously incorrect values are shown on the display.

1. Remove the battery from the battery compartment and wait a moment.
2. Re-insert the battery. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the battery (+/-). After switching on the scale, you can start weighing as usual.

Cleaning

NOTE on material damage

• Do not immerse the scale in water or other liquids.
• Do not under any circumstances use harsh, scouring or abrasive cleaning agents or the like to clean the scale. Otherwise, the surface could be scratched.

The scale and the measuring cup should be cleaned immediately after use, especially after their contact with fat, spices, vinegar and other strongly flavoured and/or coloured foods.

• Wipe the scale as needed with a slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid contact with citric acid.
• You can clean the measuring cup in soap water or in the dishwasher. Do not dry clean the measuring cup. The printed scale marks can be removed unintentionally by excessive rubbing. Do not clean the measuring cup and scale marks with aggressive cleaning agents, abrasives or microfibre cloths.

Our products are constantly being developed and improved. For this reason, design and technical modifications are possible at any time.

Safety

• This product may be used by children aged 8 and above, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capacities or lacking experience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the product and understand the risks that may arise.
• Children must not play with the product.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are 8 years of age or older and are being supervised.
• Batteries can be life-threatening. Therefore, keep batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery has been swallowed or has entered the body in any other way, seek medical help immediately. Failure to do so within 2 hours may result in severe internal burns that could cause death.

DANGER for children

• Keep packaging material away from children. There is a risk of choking if swallowed. Also pay attention that children do not pull the packaging material over their heads.

RISK of fire/burning and/or explosion

• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced improperly. Replace the battery only with the same or a similar type. Pay attention to the "Technical data".
• Batteries must not be recharged, reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into fire, or short-circuited. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of explosion and leakage; furthermore, gases may escape!
• Avoid contact of the battery fluid with skin, eyes, and mucosa. In case of contact, immediately rinse the affected areas with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor.

BEWARE of material damage

• Place the scale on a stable, even surface.
• Do not overload the scale. Pay attention to the "Technical data".
• Place objects on the scale exclusively for the purpose of weighing.
• Protect the scale from strong shocks and vibrations.
• Remove the battery from the scale when it is depleted or when you are no longer using the scale. You will thus avoid damage that may result from leakage of battery acid.
• When inserting and changing the battery, pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).
• Do not expose the battery to any extreme conditions, for example, by storing it on radiators or under direct sunlight. Increased risk of leakage!
• Clean the battery and device contacts, as needed, before inserting the battery.
• Do not make any modifications to the product. Only allow repairs to be carried out by a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out improperly can considerably endanger the user.
• Do not place the scale in the vicinity of devices that emit electromagnetic radiation such as mobile phones, radio equipment, etc. This may result in incorrect display indications or malfunctions.
• Do not place any objects on the scale if you are, for example, storing it in a cupboard. The sensitive measuring electronics in the scale could be damaged by heavy objects.
• There are feet on the underside of the scale. Since surfaces are made from various materials and are treated with diverse care products, it cannot be completely excluded that some of these substances contain ingredients that attack and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place a non-slip pad under the scale.
