3.2 Weighing Items

2. Place the item to be weighed directly onto the center of the scale platform.
3. Read the weight displayed on the digital screen.

3.3 Tare Function (Add & Weigh)

3.4 Unit Conversion

The scale may offer different units of measurement (e.g., grams, pounds, ounces). Look for a "UNIT" or "g/oz" button, usually on the underside or near the display, to cycle through available units. (Note: Specific button location may vary slightly; refer to the scale itself.)

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To clean your scale, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaning agents, as this can damage the electronic components.
