Unpacking
Carefully remove the scale and any accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components are present: the Metaltex Kilo Digital Scale and this instruction manual.
Battery Installation
Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Insert the required batteries (typically AAA or AA, not included) ensuring correct polarity as indicated inside the compartment. Close the compartment securely.
Placement
Place the scale on a flat, stable, and level surface to ensure accurate readings. Uneven surfaces can affect measurement precision.
Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press the 'ON/TARE/OFF' button to turn the scale on. The display will show '0' when ready. To turn off, press and hold the 'ON/TARE/OFF' button for a few seconds, or wait for the automatic shut-off.
- Weighing Items: Place the item to be weighed directly onto the scale platform. The weight will be displayed on the LCD screen.
- Tare Function (Additive Weighing): To weigh multiple ingredients in the same container, place the first container on the scale and press 'ON/TARE/OFF' to zero the display. Add the next ingredient, and its weight will be shown. Repeat as needed for additional ingredients.
- Automatic Shut-off: The scale is equipped with a 1-minute automatic shut-off feature to conserve battery life if left inactive.

Cleaning
Wipe the scale surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the electronic components. Ensure the scale is completely dry before storage or next use.
Storage
Store the scale in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. Its compact and slim design allows for easy storage, even vertically, similar to a book on a shelf.
Troubleshooting
- No Display / Low Battery: If the display does not light up or shows a 'Lo' indicator, replace the batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity.
- Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the scale is on a flat, stable, and level surface. Avoid placing it near strong electromagnetic fields (e.g., microwaves, large appliances). Re-tare the scale by pressing the 'ON/TARE/OFF' button before weighing.
- Overload Indicator: If 'EEEE' or 'O-Ld' appears on the display, the item placed on the scale exceeds the maximum weight capacity (5 kg / 11 lbs). Remove the item immediately to prevent damage to the scale.
