3. Setup

3.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, ensure the scale is fully charged. Connect the included USB-C cable to the charging port located on the side of the scale and plug it into a compatible USB power source. The battery indicator on the display will show charging status.

3.2 Placing the Silicone Mat

Place the provided silicone insulation waterproof pad on the weighing platform. This mat protects the scale surface from high temperatures and heat, and provides a non-slip surface for your brewing equipment. It also helps prevent water stains on the acrylic surface.

3.3 Powering On

Locate the power button (often integrated with the Tare button) on the display panel. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the LCD screen illuminates.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

• To power on: Press and hold the power button for approximately 1 second.
• To power off: Press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds.

4.2 Tare Function

The tare function allows you to reset the scale to zero after placing a container on it, so you can measure only the weight of the ingredients. Place your container on the weighing platform, then briefly press the power/tare button. The display will show "0.0" grams, indicating the container's weight has been tared.

4.3 Unit Switching (g/oz)

To switch between grams (g) and ounces (oz), quickly press the unit button (often located near the power button or integrated with it via multiple presses). The current unit will be displayed on the screen.

4.4 Timer Function (Manual/Automatic)

The scale features both manual and automatic timer modes, useful for precise brewing.

• Manual Timer: Press the timer button (usually marked with a clock icon) to start or pause the timer. Press again to resume or stop.
• Automatic Timer: This mode is ideal for pour-over or espresso. After placing your brewing vessel and taring, the timer can automatically start when liquid is detected on the scale. Refer to the specific mode instructions for activation (e.g., some models activate auto-timer by pressing the timer button 5 times).

4.5 Water Flow Rate Display

In certain modes, the scale can display the water flow rate (g/s), providing real-time feedback on your pouring speed. This feature is particularly useful for pour-over coffee to maintain consistency.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

The dial surface is waterproof. Wipe the scale surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale in water. Ensure the USB-C charging port cover is closed to prevent liquid from entering.

5.2 Battery Care

The scale is equipped with a 1600mAh rechargeable lithium battery. For optimal battery life, charge the device when the battery indicator is low. The scale features an automatic shutdown after 3 minutes of inactivity (no change in measurement value) to conserve power.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Common Issues

• Scale not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a power source and try again.
• Inaccurate readings: Ensure the scale is on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it near strong electromagnetic fields. Recalibrate if necessary (refer to specific calibration instructions if available in packaging).
• Sudden program failure: Use the RESET button located at the bottom of the scale to restore the program.
