Tare Function

• Press the TARE button. The display will reset to '0'.
• Add your ingredients to the container. The scale will display only the weight of the added ingredients.

Calorie Counter

The scale features a built-in calorie counter for 7 specific food items: Chicken, Butter, Sugar, Flour, Egg, Chocolate, and Beef. This function provides instant caloric (Kcal) values based on the weight of the item placed on the scale.

1. Ensure the scale is on and tared if using a container.
2. Place the food item (e.g., an egg) on the weighing platform. The scale will display its weight.
3. Press the corresponding food item button (e.g., EGG). The display will switch from weight to caloric value (Kcal).

Maintenance

• Cleaning: The tempered glass surface is easy to clean. Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging the scale in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid placing heavy objects on the scale when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Low Battery Indicator: If the display shows 'Lo', replace the 4 AAA batteries.
• Overload Indicator: If the display shows 'EEEE', the scale is overloaded. Remove items immediately to prevent damage. The maximum weight capacity is 22 lbs (10 kg).
• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the scale is on a flat, stable surface. Recalibrate by turning it off and on, or by using the tare function with an empty container.
• Display Flashing: The display numbers and letters do not inherently flash. If observed, this may be an artifact of camera recording or external interference.
