Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale's stainless steel platform and body with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaners. Ensure the scale is completely dry before storage or next use.
• Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place. Avoid placing heavy objects on the scale when not in use, as this may affect its accuracy over time.
• Battery Replacement: If the display indicates low battery or becomes dim, replace all 4 AAA batteries with new ones.

Troubleshooting

Inaccurate Readings:

Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Avoid placing it on carpets or uneven countertops. Check if the batteries are low and replace them if necessary. Make sure no objects are touching the scale's platform other than the item being weighed.

Display Not Turning On:

Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if needed.

"Err" or Overload Message:

This indicates that the weight on the scale exceeds its maximum capacity (15 lbs / 7 kg). Remove some weight immediately to prevent damage to the scale.
