- Ensure the scale is stable and zeroed before placing items for measurement.
3. Setup
Battery Installation
The AIRMSEN Digital Kitchen Scale EC811 operates on 3 AAA batteries, which are included in the package. Follow these steps to install them:
- Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert 3 AAA batteries, ensuring that the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the indicators inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely until it clicks into place.
The scale is now ready for operation.
4. Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
To turn the scale on, press the T/U button. The display will illuminate. The scale features an automatic shut-off function after 5 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Unit Conversion
The scale supports five different weight and volume units: grams (g), ounces (oz), pounds and ounces (lb:oz), milliliters (ml), and fluid ounces (fl.oz). To change the unit, press the UNIT button repeatedly until your desired unit is displayed.
This image illustrates the various unit options (g, oz, lb:oz, ml, fl.oz) available on the AIRMSEN Digital Kitchen Scale and how to cycle through them using the UNIT button.
Tare Function
The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container or previous ingredients, enabling you to measure subsequent items accurately. To use the tare function:
- Place an empty container (e.g., a bowl or plate) onto the scale platform.
- Press the T/U button. The display will reset to zero, indicating the container's weight has been tared.
- Add the ingredients you wish to weigh into the container. The scale will now display only the net weight of the ingredients.
This image shows the three steps of using the tare function: placing a container, pressing the T/U button to zero the scale, and then adding food to measure its net weight.
Weighing Items
Place the item(s) directly onto the scale's stainless steel platform or into a tared container. The weight will be displayed on the backlit LCD screen. The scale's large contact area accommodates various sizes of bowls and ingredients.

5. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the accuracy and extends the lifespan of your AIRMSEN Digital Kitchen Scale.
- Cleaning: The scale features a food-grade 304 stainless steel platform, which is easy to clean. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a dry, cool place away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Ensure it is stored on a flat surface to prevent damage to the sensors.
- Battery Replacement: When the low battery indicator ('Lo') appears on the display, replace all three AAA batteries promptly to ensure continued accurate operation.
