Setup
Unpacking: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
Placement: Place the scale on a stable, flat, and level surface to ensure accurate readings. Avoid placing it near vibrations or drafts.
Remove Protective Packaging: Locate and remove any internal corrugated cylinders or protective materials that may be securing the weighing mechanism during transit. These are typically found beneath the weighing platform.
Zeroing the Scale: Before first use and periodically thereafter, ensure the scale reads zero when nothing is on the platform. If the needle is not at zero, gently turn the calibration knob, usually located at the bottom front or side of the dial, until the needle aligns with the '0' mark.

Operating Instructions
Prepare for Weighing: Ensure the scale is on a stable surface and the dial is set to zero. Adjust the zeroing knob if necessary.
Place Item: Gently place the item to be weighed onto the center of the stainless steel platform.
Read Measurement: Observe the red needle on the dial. The outer ring indicates weight in pounds (lbs), and the inner ring indicates weight in kilograms (kg). The scale features graduations of 1 ounce (50g) for precise readings.
Remove Item: Once the weight is recorded, carefully remove the item from the platform.
Tare Function (Manual): To weigh multiple ingredients in the same container, place the empty container on the platform, then turn the zeroing knob to reset the needle to zero. Add the first ingredient, record its weight, then reset to zero again before adding the next ingredient.
