Using your Breville ikon™ Kitchen Scale
If the combined weight of all the items
weighed is less than 200g, ZERO will appear
on the left side of the LCD screen.
For example, when baking a cake that calls for
250g butter and 300g sugar. Place an empty
mixing bowl in the centre of the weighing
platform, then press the ZERO button. The
weight will display 0g and the word “TARE”
will be displayed on the LCD screen. Begin
to add the butter until the desired 250g is
displayed on the LCD screen. Then, press the
ZERO button again. Add sugar to mixing bowl
until the desired 300g is displayed on the LCD
screen.
To remove the word “TARE” and set the Kitchen
scale back to 0g/0.0oz at any time, ensure the
item is removed from the Kitchen scale and
press the ZERO button again. The word “TARE”
will disappear and the word “ZERO” will display
on the LCD screen.
If the combined weight of all the objects
measured is greater than 200g, the word
“TARE” will appear in the upper left side of the
LCD screen.
The Kitchen Scale’s maximum capacity is
5kg/11lbs. Each time an item is added using
the ZERO button, the weight of the previous
item is counted towards the maximum capacity.
For example, if you weigh a 4.0kg bowl of soup
and then press the ZERO button to weigh in
some onions, the maximum amount the onions
can weigh is 1.0kg 4.0kg + 1.0kg = 5kg
(5kg is the maximum weight of the Kitchen
Scale).

Measures
Press the UNIT button before weighing the
item to change the scale from the metric
system (g/kg) to the imperial system (oz/
lbs), if required.
Place item to weigh in the centre of the
weighing platform. Record the weight, then

OFF if you have finished with the Kitchen
scales. Alternatively follow the below
