KitchenCraft Colourworks 5 kg/11 lbs Digital Kitchen Scales User Manual

1. Product Overview

The KitchenCraft Colourworks Digital Kitchen Scales are designed for accurate measurement of ingredients up to 5 kg (kilograms) or 11 lbs (pounds). These scales feature a flat glass weighing plate that is stain and odour resistant, allowing for direct weighing or use with a bowl of any size.

A key feature is the add 'n' weigh function, which allows the display to be reset to zero after each ingredient is added, facilitating multi-ingredient recipes in a single bowl. The scales are ultra-slim, lightweight, and equipped with non-scratch feet for safe use on various kitchen surfaces. They include a clear LCD display for easy reading of measurements.

3.2 Using the Add 'n' Weigh (Tare) Function

The add 'n' weigh function allows you to measure multiple ingredients consecutively in the same bowl without emptying it.

1. Place your first ingredient (or an empty bowl) on the scales. Note its weight.
2. Press the "TARE" button (often combined with "ON/OFF"). The display will reset to "0" or "0.0".
3. Add the next ingredient to the bowl. The display will show the weight of only the newly added ingredient.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 for all subsequent ingredients.

3.3 Unit Conversion

The scales support both metric (kilograms/grams) and imperial (pounds/ounces) units. Refer to the product's specific buttons for unit conversion, typically a dedicated "UNIT" button or a long press of the "TARE" button.

4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your KitchenCraft Colourworks Digital Kitchen Scales, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: After each use, simply wipe down the glass weighing plate and the body of the scales with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging the scales in water. The weighing plate is designed to be stain and odour resistant.
• Storage: Store the scales in a dry place. Their ultra-slim design allows for easy storage in tight spaces.
• Battery Replacement: When the display indicates low battery (usually a "Lo" symbol), replace the two CR 2032 batteries. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your scales, consider the following:

• No Display/Power Issues:
  • Check if the batteries are correctly inserted.
  • Replace the batteries with new CR 2032 batteries.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Ensure the scales are placed on a flat, stable, and level surface.
  • Avoid placing items that exceed the maximum weight capacity (5 kg / 11 lbs).
  • Ensure no objects are touching the scales or the weighing plate from underneath or the sides.
