Operating Instructions

1. Weighing Function

Ensure the scale is placed on a flat, stable surface. Power on the scale. The display will show "0.0" or "0.00". Place the item to be weighed onto the center of the weighing platform. The weight will be displayed on the LED screen.

2. Unit Conversion (g/oz/ml)

The scale supports three measurement units: grams (g), ounces (oz), and milliliters (ml). To switch between units, press the UNIT button (if present, or refer to the specific button for unit change on the display). The display will cycle through the available units.

3. 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 contents. Place an empty container on the scale. Press the ZERO button. The display will reset to "0.0". You can now add ingredients to the container, and only their weight will be measured.

4. Timing Modes (Automatic & Manual)

The scale features two timing modes for coffee brewing:

• Manual Timing: Press the TIMER button to start and stop the timer manually. This mode gives you full control over the brewing duration.
• Automatic Timing: In this mode, the timer starts automatically when the scale detects a change in weight (e.g., when you start pouring water). This is particularly useful for pour-over methods. Refer to the display for the specific icon indicating automatic timing mode.

6. Auto-Sleep Function

To conserve battery life, the scale will automatically enter sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. To wake the scale, simply place an item on it or press any button.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

The Maestri House Mini Coffee Scale features a seamless, waterproof borosilicate glass surface, making it easy to clean. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the internal components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Maestri House Mini Coffee Scale, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Scale Not Turning On:
  • Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Check if the battery is charged. Connect the scale to a power source using the USB-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Ensure the scale is placed on a flat, stable, and level surface.
  • Avoid placing the scale near strong electromagnetic fields or vibrating equipment.
  • Perform a tare operation before weighing.
  • Ensure the silicone pad is correctly placed and not interfering with the weighing mechanism.
  • Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 2000g.
• Display Errors (e.g., "Lo", "Err"):
  • "Lo" usually indicates low battery. Recharge the scale.
  • "Err" may indicate an overload. Remove the item from the scale immediately.
  • If other error messages appear, try turning the scale off and on again.
• Timer Not Functioning Correctly:
  • Ensure you are in the correct timing mode (manual or automatic) for your desired operation.
  • For automatic timing, ensure there is a detectable weight change to trigger the timer.
