Operating Instructions

1. Placing the Scale

Place the scale on a flat, stable surface for the most accurate readings. Avoid placing it on uneven or vibrating surfaces.

• Automatic Timing Weighing Mode: The timer starts automatically when weight is detected on the scale, ideal for pour-over or espresso.
• Automatic Weighing and Concentration Reminder Mode (Italian Concentration Mode): Provides automatic weighing and a concentration reminder, useful for achieving specific espresso ratios.

Refer to the display icons for the active mode. The video below illustrates the semi-automatic and automatic timing modes.

5. Silent Mode

To turn off the sound alerts, press both the 'TIME' and 'UNIT' buttons simultaneously for two seconds. Repeat the action to re-enable sound.

Troubleshooting

• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the scale is on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it near vibrating appliances or in drafty areas. Recalibrate if necessary (refer to specific calibration instructions if provided in packaging).
• Scale Not Turning On: Check if the battery is charged. Connect the USB-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
• Display Errors: If the display shows an error message (e.g., 'EEEE'), it may indicate an overload. Remove items from the scale immediately. If the error persists, try resetting the scale by turning it off and on.
• Timer Malfunction: Ensure you are in the correct weighing mode for automatic or manual timing. If the timer is unresponsive, try restarting the scale.
