Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the scale and all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the scale on a flat, stable, and level surface. Avoid placing it near sources of vibration, extreme temperature changes, or direct sunlight, which can affect accuracy.
3. Powering On:
   • If your model uses batteries (not included), open the battery compartment on the underside of the scale and insert the required batteries, observing polarity.
   • If your model uses an AC adapter (not included), plug the adapter into the scale's power input and then into a suitable electrical outlet.
4. Initial Calibration Check: After powering on, the display should show "0.000". If not, press the Power button to turn it off and then on again.

Operating Instructions

Power On/Off

• To turn the scale ON, press the Power button. The display will show "0.000" when ready.
• To turn the scale OFF, press and hold the Power button for a few seconds until the display turns off.

Unit Conversion

• To change the weighing unit (e.g., lb, oz, kg, g), press the UNIT button.
• Each press will cycle through the available units. Select the desired unit before weighing.

Tare Function

The Tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container or previous ingredients, so you only measure the net weight of the new item.

1. Place an empty container on the weighing platform. The display will show its weight.
2. Press the TARE button. The display will reset to "0.000".
3. Add the item you wish to weigh into the container. The display will now show only the weight of the added item.
4. To clear the Tare function, remove all items from the platform. The display will show a negative value equal to the tared weight. Press the TARE button again to return to "0.000".

Weighing Procedure

1. Ensure the scale is on a stable surface and displaying "0.000".
2. If using a container, perform the Tare function as described above.
3. Gently place the item(s) to be weighed onto the center of the stainless steel platform.
4. Read the stable weight displayed on the LCD.
5. Remove the item(s) from the platform.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale's stainless steel platform and body with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent can be used. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the scale in water. Ensure the scale is dry before storage or next use.
• Storage: Store the scale in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and humidity. If storing for an extended period, remove batteries to prevent leakage.
• Handling: Handle the scale with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to sudden impacts, as this can damage the internal sensors.
