Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
To power on the scale, press the POWER button located on the side. To power off, press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds. The scale will automatically enter sleep mode after 6 minutes of inactivity to conserve power.
2. Unit Conversion
The scale supports weighing in grams (g), ounces (oz), and milliliters (ml). To switch between units, briefly press the UNIT button (often integrated with the power button or a separate button labeled 'UNIT' or 'MODE').
3. Tare Function
The tare function allows you to reset the display to zero after placing a container on the scale, so you only measure the contents. Place your container on the scale, then press the ZERO/TARE button. The display will show "0.0" and you can then add your ingredients.
4. Timer Modes
The S2 scale features both automatic and manual timing modes for tracking extraction time.
- Automatic Timer: In this mode, the timer starts automatically when weight is detected (e.g., when espresso begins to flow) and stops when the weight stabilizes or flow ceases.
- Manual Timer: To manually control the timer, press the TIMER button to start and stop.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
The scale features a sleek borosilicate glass surface. To clean, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface or display. The silicone pad can be removed and washed with mild soap and water.
2. Storage
Store the scale in a dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Ensure no heavy objects are placed on the weighing platform when not in use to prevent damage to the sensors.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scale does not turn on | Low battery or no power. | Charge the scale using the provided USB-C cable. |
| Inaccurate readings | Scale not on a flat, stable surface; external vibrations; overloaded. | Place the scale on a firm, level surface. Avoid vibrations. Ensure weight is within capacity (0.5g to 2001g). |
| Display shows "Err" | Overload or internal error. | Remove items from the scale. If error persists, power cycle the device. |
| Timer not starting/stopping automatically | Not in automatic timer mode; insufficient weight change. | Ensure the scale is in automatic timer mode. Verify that the weight change is significant enough to trigger the sensor. |
