Precautions
1. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove stains, use a
mild soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning
agents, or sprays. Avoid contact with acids, such as citrus juices.
2. Do not tamper with the scale’s internal components. Doing so will invalidate
the warranty on this unit and may cause damage. The scale contains no user-
serviceable parts
3. Although your scale is designed to be maintenance-free, it contains sensitive
electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Treat it with care to ensure the best
performance.
4. This scal e is intended for hom e/consumer use only. It is not intended for
commercial or me dical use.
5. This scale is designed to read weights up to 11 lb x 0.1 oz / 5000 g x 1 g / 176
fl. oz. x 0.1 fl. oz. / 5000 ml x 1 ml. To prevent damage, do not place more than
11 lb / 5000 g / 176 fl. oz. / 5000 ml on it.
6. Do not store scale where you store cleaning chemicals. The vapors from some
household products may affect the electronic components of your scale. Do
not store scale on its side.
7. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. In order to prevent run

3. Your scale is set at the factory to weigh in pounds/ounces. To switch between
pounds/ounces (lb oz), grams (g), fluid ounces (fl:oz), and milliliters (ml), press
the “UNIT” button. Measuring liquid ingredients: The liquid measure feature is
suitable for all water based liquids, including wine, milk, stock, cream etc. Note:
Oils have a lower specific gravity, which will result in a volume reading of
approximately +10%. If measuring oils by volume on this scale, please adjust
for this accordingly.
4. Place the item to be weighed on the center of the platform. The weight will
display. As you add weight, the weight displayed increases.
5. The scale will turn off automatically after 3 minutes if there is no change in
weight, or after one minute when the weight is removed. Press and hold “
-ZERO” to turn the scale off manually.
Tare Operation
You may wish to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container (not included). In
this case, you will need to tare, or offset, the weight of the bowl so that only the
weight of the ingredients is displayed.
1. Choose a container that will safely balance on the platform without tipping
or falling. Do not use a heavy container, as this might reduce the maximum
capacity of the scale.
2. While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale platform. Turn the
scale on. The display will show “8888” then zero. The weight of the container
has been zeroed out.
3. Add the ingredie nt to be weighed. The weight of the ingredient a lone will
displ ay.
4. The weight of additional ingredients may be tared out as well. For example,
if a recipe calls for 1/2 lb rice and 1/2 lb beans, place the rice into the bowl.
Once the correct amount of rice is weighed, press the “ -ZERO” button. The scale
shows “tArE”, then resets to zero. Add the 1/2 lb of beans. Both ingredients
have been accurately weighed in the same bowl.
5. When weights have been tared out, the display will show a negative number
when the items are removed from the scale. To reset the scale back to zero for
a new measurement, press the “ -ZERO” button. The scale shows “tArE”, then
resets to zero.
