Tare Function
The Tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container or to weigh multiple ingredients consecutively in the same container.
Place an empty container (e.g., the stainless steel bowl) on the scale platform.
Press the Z/T (Zero/Tare) button. The display will reset to "0.0" or "0g", indicating the container's weight has been tared.
Add your first ingredient to the container. The display will show the weight of only the ingredient.
To add another ingredient, press the Z/T button again to tare the current weight to zero, then add the next ingredient.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel bowl, it can be washed with warm soapy water. Do not immerse the scale base in water or use abrasive cleaners.
Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place. If not used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
