2. Initial Use and Unit Selection

Before first use, ensure the scale is placed on a flat, stable surface. The scale allows you to select your preferred unit of measurement.

• For Solid Measurements (Weight): Use the 'KG/LB' button to toggle between kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb).

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Weighing

1. Place the scale on a firm, flat surface.
2. Press the 'ON/ZERO' button to turn on the scale. The display will show '0'.
3. Place the item to be weighed directly onto the glass platform.
4. Read the measurement displayed on the LCD screen.

2. Tare Function (Zero) / Add & Weigh

The Tare function allows you to measure multiple ingredients in the same container or to exclude the weight of a container.

1. Place your first ingredient or an empty container on the scale.
2. Press the 'ON/ZERO' button. The display will reset to '0', effectively subtracting the weight of the container or first ingredient.
3. Add the next ingredient to the container. The display will show the weight of only the newly added ingredient.

2. Press the 'ON/ZERO' button to tare the container's weight.
3. Press the 'ML/FL.OZ' button to select your desired liquid unit (milliliters or fluid ounces).
4. Pour the liquid into the container. The display will show the volume of the liquid.

4. Turning Off the Scale

To conserve battery life, the scale will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity. You can also manually turn it off:

• Press the 'OFF' button to manually turn off the scale.
