E. Tare
The tare function resets the scale display to zero
in order to measure only the weight of an item.
It is frequently used to subtract the weight
of containers.
1. When the scale is on, place a container on
the platform.
2. Press the TARE button to reset the display
to zero.
3. Place the item into the container or directly on
the scale platform. The weight of only the last
item added will appear on the display.
4. Continue to repeat steps 2. and 3. to measure
the respective weights of additional items.
5. To clear the tare, remove all items from the
platform and press the TARE button. The display
is reset to zero.
F. Battery Status
Lo appears on the display when battery status
is low and needs to be replaced with two AAA
carbon zinc batteries.
G. Overload Indication
EEEE indicates an overload when the item being
measured exceeds the capacity of the scale.
Immediately remove the overweight item to avoid
causing permanent damage to your scale.
Note: Clean the scale platform before each use. The
stainless steel removable platform is dishwasher safe;
the removable plastic platform base is not dishwasher safe.
Note: Replacement removable stainless steel platform
available.
USAGE GUIDELINES
• Scales are precision instruments and must be
handled with extreme care.
• Battery technology works best at room
temperature. Do not leave the scale in cold
rooms, refrigerators or freezers for extended
periods of time.
• Place the scale gently on a hard and at surface
and make sure it is steady before use.
• The minimum capacity of the scale is 0.04 oz/1.0 g.
• The maximum capacity of the scale is 2.2 lb/1000 g,
which is the capacity before using the tare function.
• Do not place overweight items on the scale.
• Do not place hot items directly on the scale
platform. They can distort the display. Rather, tare
a baking sheet at room temperature and then place
the hot item on it.
• Store the scale in a position that keeps it free from
any load bearing weight. Storing the scale with
pressure on the load cells can distort the weight
measurements over time.
• Hold the scale from the bottom when moving.
CARE OF YOUR PRODUCT
• Do not submerge any part of the scale in water.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Store the scale at room temperature between
32 to 104°F/0 to 40°C.
PRECAUTIONS
• Keep the scale and/or battery away from children.
• Do not clean the scale with abrasive or corrosive
compounds, which may scratch the surface and
corrode the electronic circuits.
• Do not subject the scale to excessive force, shock,
dust, temperature or humidity, which may result in
malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged
battery and/or distorted parts.
• Do not tamper with the scale’s internal
components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty
and may cause unnecessary battery damage and/
or distorted parts.
• Do not subject the scale to excessive exposure
to direct sunlight.
• The unit is not waterproof — do not immerse it in
any liquid, which will result in faulty measurements.
• To avoid deformation, do not place the unit in
extreme temperatures.
• Always read the user manual thoroughly before
operating.
