Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the scale and all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale base. Open the cover and insert the required batteries (typically AAA or AA, check markings inside the compartment for correct polarity). Close the battery cover securely.
- Placement: Place the scale on a firm, flat, and stable surface. Avoid placing it on soft or uneven surfaces, or near strong electromagnetic fields, as this may affect accuracy.
- Initial Use: Ensure the measuring jug is clean and dry before placing it on the scale base.
Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press the ON/OFF button (often marked with a power symbol ⏻) to turn the scale on. The display will show '0' when ready. To turn off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for a few seconds, or the scale will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity.
- Unit Conversion: Press the UNIT / MODE button to cycle through available measurement units. The Salter 1086WHDR typically supports:
- Weight: grams (g), kilograms (kg), pounds (lb), ounces (oz)
- Volume: milliliters (ml), fluid ounces (fl.oz), cups, pints
- Weighing Procedure:
- Place the empty measuring jug onto the scale platform.
- Press the TARE / ZERO button to reset the display to '0'. This subtracts the weight of the jug.
- Carefully add the ingredients you wish to weigh into the jug. The display will show the net weight/volume of the ingredients.
- Tare Function (Zeroing): The TARE / ZERO function allows you to weigh multiple ingredients consecutively in the same container. After weighing an ingredient, press TARE / ZERO to reset the display to '0' before adding the next ingredient.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface and jug with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale base in water or use abrasive cleaning agents. The measuring jug can be washed with warm soapy water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity.
- Battery Replacement: If the display shows 'Lo' or becomes dim, replace the batteries promptly. Remove batteries if the scale will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display shows 'Lo' or 'Low Battery' | Batteries are low or depleted. | Replace with new batteries. Ensure correct polarity. |
| Display shows 'Err' or 'O-Ld' | Scale is overloaded (weight exceeds maximum capacity). | Remove item immediately. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 1.5 kg (3 lb 5 oz). |
| Inaccurate readings | Scale not on a flat, stable surface; external vibrations; dirty sensors. | Ensure scale is on a firm, level surface. Avoid vibrations. Clean the scale thoroughly. Re-tare before weighing. |
