NOTE: The volume measurement is converted from
the weight & the pre-set density programmed into
the scale. There are different types of milk, oil,
sugar or our on the market. Different types, brands
& origins of the same ingredient have different
densities. For this reason, some variations on the
volume measurement will occur depending on the
type of ingredients you are using. The volume reading
provided by the bowl scale can only be used as an
approximate value.
Add & Weigh (Tare) Function
It is easy and convenient to build up & mix different
ingredients together all in the same bowl. After the
rst ingredient is added and measured, you may add
another ingredient after resetting the scale to zero.
1) Place your rst ingredient into the bowl scale. Your
scale will weigh your rst ingredient.
2) Press Ø. TARE will show on the display, followed
by zero.
3) Place your second ingredient into the bowl scale.
Your scale will now weigh just your second
ingredient.
4) Repeat step 2 and 3 if needed.
Clearing the “Tare” feature
Remove all items from the bowl and press the Ø key.
Mixing (IMPORTANT NOTE)
It is easy and convenient to mix different ingredients
in the bowl scale. It can withstand up to 11 Lbs / 5
Kg of maximum load. When the total weight and force
during mixing is greater than 11 Lbs / 5 kg, the unit

will beep and display “Err”. Make sure to remove the
weight and stop the mixing action immediately.
Sensitive weight scale components are located at the
base of the scale and excessive force & weight applied
to the base may permanently damage the scale inside
and provide inaccurate reading. To extend product life
span, please detach the bowl to mix your ingredients.
Do not place overweight items in the
scale
Weighing items over the maximum weight capacity will
cause an overload error “Err” to display. Immediately
remove overweight items to avoid causing damage to
your scale.
Calibration
To ensure accurate measurement, you are suggested
to check the weight of the empty bowl scale every
time you rst turn on the unit. It should read zero.
Calibration for the bowl is needed ONLY when the
reading of your EMPTY bowl scale is not zero. The
calibration process will reset the reading to zero.
To calibrate:
1) Make sure the bowl is attached to the base and
the bowl is completely empty.
2) Turn on the unit by a single press of the Ø button.
3) Make sure the bowl scale is placed steadily on a
at surface. Hold Ø for approximately 6 seconds
until “CAL” ashes. Do not touch or move the bowl
scale when “CAL” is ashing.
4) The display reading will show “0” and the
calibration is completed.

Cleaning and storage
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the base & handle
in water or put it into a dish washing machine for
cleaning. Only the bowl that is detached from the base
is waterproof and dishwasher safe (top rack). Do not
use boiling water to clean the detached bowl. Use a
damp cloth to clean the base and the handle.
Battery Replacement
