   • Insert the required AAA batteries (included) according to the polarity indicators (+/-) inside the compartment.
   • Close the battery compartment cover securely.
3. Placement: Place the scale on a firm, flat, and stable surface to ensure accurate measurements. Avoid placing it on soft, uneven, or vibrating surfaces.

Operating Instructions

Turning On/Off

• To Turn On: Press the ON/OFF button. The display will show "8888" then "0 g" (or the last used unit).
• To Turn Off: Press and hold the ON/OFF button for a few seconds, or the scale will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

Unit Selection

While the scale is on, press the UNIT button (if available, or the ON/OFF button might cycle units) to switch between available weighing units (e.g., grams (g), pounds (lb), ounces (oz), milliliters (ml)). The selected unit will be displayed on the LCD.

Weighing Procedure

1. Ensure the scale is on and displaying "0 g" (or your desired unit).
2. Place the item(s) to be weighed directly onto the weighing platform or into the removable bowl.
3. The weight will be displayed on the LCD. Wait for the reading to stabilize before noting the measurement.

Tare Function (Zeroing)

The Tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container or to weigh multiple ingredients consecutively in the same bowl.

1. Place an empty container (e.g., the removable bowl) on the weighing platform. The display will show its weight.
2. Press the TARE button (or sometimes the ON/OFF button). The display will reset to "0 g".
3. Add the ingredient(s) you wish to weigh into the container. The display will show only the net weight of the added ingredients.
4. Repeat the Tare function for each additional ingredient if weighing multiple items sequentially.

Overload Indication

If the display shows "EEEE" or "O-Ld", it indicates that the maximum weighing capacity (5 kg) has been exceeded. Remove items immediately to prevent damage to the scale.

Low Battery Indication

When the battery power is low, the display may show "Lo" or a battery icon. Replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning:
  • Wipe the scale body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaners.
  • The removable bowl can be washed with warm soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. Ensure it is completely dry before re-placing it on the scale.
• Storage: Store the scale in a clean, dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity.
• Battery Replacement: When the low battery indicator appears, replace all AAA batteries with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Handling: Handle the scale with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can affect its accuracy.
