5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

• To power on: Press the ON/OFF button. The display will light up and show '0' or '0.0'.
• To power off: Press and hold the ON/OFF button for a few seconds, or the scale will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity (approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on mode).

5.2 Weighing Ingredients (Tare Function)

1. Extend the glass weighing tray.
2. Press ON/OFF to turn on the scale. Ensure the display shows '0'.
3. Place an empty container on the glass tray. The display will show the container's weight.
4. Press the TARE button (if available, common function). The display will reset to '0', allowing you to weigh ingredients without including the container's weight.
5. Add your ingredients to the container. The display will show the net weight.
6. To weigh additional ingredients in the same container, press TARE again after adding each ingredient to reset the display to '0'.

5.3 Changing Units

To switch between measurement units (e.g., grams, pounds, ounces), press the UNIT button (or similar, if available). The display will cycle through the available units.

5.4 Using Clock, Temperature, and Timer Functions

The scale can display the time and temperature, and also functions as a timer. Refer to the specific buttons on your scale for these functions (e.g., MODE or dedicated buttons for clock/timer settings). Typically, you would press a MODE button to cycle through weighing, clock, and timer displays. Use adjustment buttons (e.g., +/- or SET) to set the time or timer duration.

5.5 Storing the Glass Tray

For optimal storage and to save space, the glass weighing tray can be lifted and folded back into the main unit when not in use.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

6.1 Cleaning the Scale

• Wipe the scale surface and glass tray with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents.
• Ensure no water enters the internal components.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

6.2 Battery Replacement

When the display indicates low battery or the scale stops functioning, replace the batteries. Follow the steps in Section 4.1 for battery installation, ensuring to use 1.2V 600mAh AAA NiMH batteries.

7. Troubleshooting

• Display shows 'E' or 'Overload': This indicates the maximum weight capacity (3 kg / 6.6 lbs) has been exceeded. Remove some weight immediately to prevent damage. If this occurs with less weight, try turning the scale off and on again.
• Scale turns off too quickly: The scale has an auto-off feature to conserve battery. If it turns off faster than expected (e.g., 30 seconds), ensure you are actively using it or press a button to keep it active. This behavior is noted in some user experiences.
• Inaccurate readings: Ensure the scale is placed on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it near vibrations or drafts. Check if the glass tray is properly extended and level. Recalibrate if your model supports it (refer to specific product documentation if available).
• Display not working: Check battery levels and ensure they are correctly inserted. Replace batteries if necessary. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
