BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Carefully read all instructions before
operation and save for future reference.
• Remove and safely discard any
packaging material and promotional

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the

near the edge of a bench or table. Always
ensure that the surface is level, clean and
free of water, flour, etc.
• This scale is a precision instrument. Do
not dismantle the scale and avoid strong

10°C (50°F), leave the scale in the new
location for at least 2 hours before
turning it on.
• Always remove the battery if the scale
will not be used within the next 6

INSERTING THE BATTERY
1. Open the battery compartment cover
located underneath the kitchen scale
and insert 1 x 9V alkaline battery,
ensuring the polarity of the battery

compartment cover.
TO USE THE KITCHEN SCALE
1. Ensure the kitchen scale is on a dry level
surface for operation.
2. Press the Power button. The Kitchen
scale will “Beep” once and all functions
will be briefly displayed. After a few
seconds the scale will be ready for use.
NOTE
The kitchen scale has a default
function and will remember the last
program used. For example, if metric
grams or “g” was last selected, this
will automatically displayed the next
time the kitchen scale is switched on.
3. Place the item you wish to weigh in the
centre of the weighing platform. Record
the weight, then remove item and press
the Power button to off. Alternatively, if
you have not finished using the kitchen
scale, follow the directions below for
other functions.
NOTE
If the kitchen scale is switched on with
an item on the weighing platform, the
LCD screen will show “0”. If the item
is removed the screen will show the
weight of the item with the Minus sign
(on the left hand side).
NOTE
If the weighed items exceed the
scale’s capacity of 5kg/11lbs the error
sign, “ERR” will be displayed on the
LCD screen.
NOTE
The battery low indicator will appear
on the LCD screen should the battery
need replacing. Should this happen the
LCD screen will display the word “LO”.
NOTE
The kitchen scale will automatically
turn itself off after 2 minutes of not

3. 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

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.
NOTE
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.
NOTE
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).
CONVERTING METRIC TO
IMPERIAL MEASURES
1. 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.
