  2. Changing Units: Press the UNIT button to cycle through the available measurement units: pounds and ounces (lb/oz), kilograms and grams (kg/g), fluid ounces (fl.oz.), and milliliters (ml). The selected unit will be displayed on the LCD screen.
  3. Measuring Ingredients: Place the item directly onto the tempered glass surface of the scale. The weight will be displayed on the bright LCD screen.
  4. Tare Function: The Tare function allows you to weigh ingredients in a container by subtracting the container's weight. Place an empty container on the scale and press the TARE button. The display will reset to zero. You can then add ingredients to the container, and the scale will display only the net weight of the ingredients.
