Product Overview
The OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Food Scale is designed for precise measurement of food ingredients. Its durable stainless steel surface is smudge- and fingerprint-resistant, ensuring easy cleaning. A unique pull-out display prevents shadowing from large plates or bowls, making readings clear and accessible. The scale offers unit conversion between ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms, and features a convenient zero function for taring the scale before adding ingredients.
The OXO Good Grips Food Scale features a sleek stainless steel weighing platform and a digital display unit that slides out for improved visibility.
Setup
Battery Installation
The scale requires 4 AAA batteries (included). Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Open the compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators (+/-), and close the cover securely.
The scale's battery compartment is located on the bottom, requiring 4 AAA batteries for operation.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press the 'Power' button (usually marked with a circle and vertical line) to turn the scale on. The display will light up and show '0.0'. To turn off the scale, press and hold the 'Power' button for a few seconds.
Unit Conversion
The scale can measure in ounces (oz), pounds (lb), grams (g), or kilograms (kg). Press the 'lb/kg' button to cycle through the available units. The selected unit will be displayed on the screen.
Easily switch between ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms using the dedicated unit conversion button.
Tare (Zero) Function
To weigh multiple ingredients in the same container, or to exclude the weight of a bowl, use the 'Zero' (Tare) function. Place an empty container on the scale, then press the 'Zero' button. The display will reset to '0.0', allowing you to add ingredients and measure only their weight.
The zero function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, ensuring accurate measurement of ingredients.
Pull-Out Display
For improved readability when using large plates or bowls that might obscure the display, gently pull the display unit forward from the main body of the scale. This extends the display, making it easier to view measurements. Push it back into place when not needed.
The innovative pull-out display ensures clear visibility of measurements, even when using oversized containers.
