Safety Information

• Always place the scale on a firm, flat, and stable surface to ensure accurate readings.

• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the scale. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Battery Installation:

   The scale requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale.

In the center, there is a rectangular battery compartment cover, secured by a small screw. Above this cover, two slots are visible, each designed to hold two AAA batteries, with clear markings for positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.

   Open the battery compartment cover. Insert 3 AAA batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment. Close the cover securely.

3. Placement: Place the scale on a hard, flat, and level surface. Avoid placing it on soft or uneven surfaces, which can affect accuracy.

Operating Instructions

1. Turning On/Off:

   Press the large rotary knob located on the front of the scale to turn it on. The display will illuminate and show "0.0". The scale will automatically turn off after 3 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life, or you can press and hold the rotary knob to manually turn it off.

A digital display shows "0.0" in bright white numbers. Below the display, a prominent black rotary knob is visible, surrounded by unit labels like "lb oz", "g", "fl oz", and "ml".

2. Unit Selection:

   To change the unit of measurement (grams, pounds/ounces, fluid ounces, milliliters), rotate the large knob. The display will cycle through the available units: g (grams), lb oz (pounds and ounces), fl oz (fluid ounces), and ml (milliliters). Select the desired unit before weighing.

3. Tare Function (Add & Weigh):

   The tare function allows you to weigh multiple ingredients consecutively in the same container, or to zero out the weight of a container before adding ingredients.

   • Place an empty container on the scale. The display will show its weight.
   • Press the rotary knob once. The display will reset to "0.0", effectively taring the container's weight.
   • Add your first ingredient. The scale will display its weight.
   • To add another ingredient, press the rotary knob again to reset the display to "0.0" before adding the next item. Repeat as needed.
4. Weighing Ingredients:

   Once the scale is on and the desired unit is selected, place the item(s) to be weighed directly onto the glass surface or into a tared container. The weight will be displayed instantly.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: The tempered glass surface is stain and odor resistant. To clean, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. For best results, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly immediately after use. Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or immerse the scale in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity. Do not place heavy objects on the scale when not in use.
• Battery Replacement: If the display shows "Lo" or becomes dim, it's time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section.
