Setup
- Battery Installation: The scale includes a long-life lithium battery. If the display shows "Lo" or is dim, replace the battery. The battery compartment is typically located on the underside of the scale.
- Placement: Place the scale on a hard, flat, and level surface. Uneven surfaces can affect accuracy.
Operating Instructions
Basic Weighing:
- Press the ON/ZERO button to turn on the scale. Wait for the display to show "0".

Switching Units (Dry Ingredients):

Aquatronic Function (Liquid Measurement):
- The Aquatronic function allows you to weigh liquids.
- Press the ML/FL.OZ button to switch between milliliters (ml) and fluid ounces (fl.oz).

Add-and-Weigh (Tare) Function:
