Use
Important: The scales of Wile moisture meters are developed to measure
average quality grain. Exceptional growth conditions and new varieties of Rice
can considerably affect Rice properties. Therefore, in the beginning of new
harvest season we recommend to check the readings of your meter against an
oven dried sample.

the rim with sample.
4. Pull slider and the rice will evenly ow into the test cell.
5. Remove hopper when prompted. Level the rice by pushing the handle in
steady motion towards the back of the unit and back removing excess grain.
6. When the handle is back to starting position, the meter will automatically
start measuring. Results will appear on the screen within seconds.
