Use
This wall-mounted kitchen scale is designed for weighing foodstuffs and smaller objects up to a maximum weight of 5 kg. It is additionally provided with a built-in clock and can also be used as a timer for periods of up to 99 minutes with accuracy to one second.

Starting up
Batteries
Batteries (2 x AA 1.5 V) are necessary to operate the scale. Insert them into the battery compartment in the front of the scale before operation. Make sure they are correctly inserted. The scale must be folded together to replace the batteries. Press the button on the front and pull the battery compartment down to open it (Fig. 1). Insert the battery correctly (Fig. 2) and close the battery compartment cover by
pushing upwards. If the display shows "Lo" or the battery symbol, Fig. 1 Fig. 2 it is time to replace the battery.

Setting the time
The scale must be in standby mode (time displayed) to set the time. Press the "Set" button (3 seconds). The hours start flashing. Set the hours with the "" and " keys and press "Set" to confirm. Then the minutes start flashing. Set the minutes with the "" and " " keys. Press "Set" to confirm and to exit the time setting procedure.
Note: The time display depends on the specified weight unit. If you have selected g or ml, the time will be displayed in 24-hour mode. If you have selected lb or fl.oz, the time will be displayed in 12-hour mode with am and pm.

Wall mounting

The wall-mounted kitchen scale must be fastened to a solid wall with the included plastic wall-mount. Make sure that there are no pipes or electric wires behind the wall before you start drilling and the wallmount is secured strongly enough for the wall-mounted kitchen scale. Make sure that there is enough room at the selected spot for folding down the scale for weighing. Mark the 4 drill holes with the wall-mount. Use a spirit level. Drill the holes at least 40 mm deep, insert the wall plugs and screw the wall-mount firmly to the wall – the hooks must point upwards. You can also use different screws for different wall materials (e.g. wood, plaster).
Place the wall-mounted kitchen scale on the hooks and press it firmly into the retainer to click it into place.
You can remove the wall-mounted kitchen scale at any time by lifting it up out of the wall-mount.

The weight is displayed in 1 g graduations. If you wish to use different units, press the "Unit" key. Every time the key is pressed, the unit switches from grams (g), pounds and ounces (lb/oz) and fluid ounces (fl.oz).

Weighing without a bowl
