4. Intended use
Your ADE scale is a quality pro uct an was manufacture for use as a non-automatic scale.
The scale is use to etermine the weight an price of goo s to be weighe an is inten e for
use in supermarkets, grocery stores, retail stores, markets an similar areas of application.
To etermine the weight an price, carefully place the item to be weighe as centrally as
possible on the scale. The scale may be loa e with the maximum loa (Max) specifie on the
evice an on the nameplate. After a stable measurement result has been etermine , it can
be rea off.
The scale must not be use for ynamic weighing. If small quantities are slowly a e or
remove (e.g. filling liqui s), this can lea to incorrect measurement results.
The evice may only be use as inten e . All applications of the evice that are not mentione
in the chapter “Inten e use”, as well as non-observance of the safety instructions, are
consi ere improper use. It is the user of the evice, but not the manufacturer, who assumes
