Introduction

Welcome to your new LEM Products 22 Pound Scale. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your scale. Please read it thoroughly before operation to ensure proper functionality and longevity of your device.

Safety Information

• Always place the scale on a stable, flat, and level surface before use.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 22 pounds (approximately 10 kilograms).
• Keep the scale away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive moisture.
• Do not immerse the scale in water or other liquids.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Handle with care to avoid dropping or impact, which may affect accuracy and cause damage.

Package Contents

Please verify that all items are present in your package:

• LEM Products Model 836 22 Pound Scale unit
• Chrome weighing tray

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the scale on a firm, level, and stable surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the scale for safe operation and clear visibility of the dial.
3. Attach Tray: Place the chrome weighing tray securely onto the scale's weighing platform. Ensure it sits flat and does not wobble.
4. Calibration Check: Before first use, ensure the scale pointer rests precisely at the zero mark. If it does not, gently adjust the small knob, typically located near the bottom of the dial, until the pointer aligns with zero.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare the Scale: Ensure the scale is on a level surface and the chrome tray is securely in place. Verify that the pointer is at the zero mark. Adjust if necessary using the calibration knob.
2. Place Item: Gently place the item to be weighed onto the center of the chrome tray. Avoid dropping items onto the tray, as this can affect accuracy or damage the scale.
3. Read Measurement: Read the weight indicated by the pointer on the scale dial. The scale measures in pounds (lb) with 2-ounce increments and kilograms (kg) with 50-gram increments.
4. Remove Item: Carefully remove the item from the tray after weighing.
5. Tare Function: If you need to weigh multiple ingredients in a container, place the empty container on the tray first. Then, adjust the zero knob until the pointer aligns with zero. This effectively 'tares' the container's weight, allowing you to weigh only the contents.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale housing and clear protective lens with a soft, damp cloth. The chrome tray can be washed with mild soap and water. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly and storage.
• Do Not Use Abrasives: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface or damage the scale's finish.
• Storage: Store the scale in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Protect it from dust and direct sunlight when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Inaccurate Readings

• Uneven Surface: Ensure the scale is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. An uneven surface can significantly affect accuracy.
• Overload: Verify that the item being weighed does not exceed the 22-pound capacity. Overloading can damage the scale and lead to incorrect readings.
• Zero Point: Always check if the pointer is at zero before weighing. Adjust if necessary using the calibration knob.
• Damage: Inspect the scale for any visible damage, bent components, or obstructions that might affect its mechanical mechanism.

Pointer Not Returning to Zero

• Obstruction: Check for any debris or objects beneath the tray or around the scale mechanism that might be preventing the pointer from returning to its resting position.
• Adjustment: Gently try to adjust the zero point using the calibration knob. If it consistently fails to return to zero even after adjustment, the scale may require professional inspection or service.
