RK-3KG
Thank you for purchasing the Peachtree RK-3KG
digital kitchen scale. Please read all operating instructions
carefully before use. Scales are precision measuring devices
and should always be handled with proper care. To ensure
years of reliable service, keep these simple tips in mind:
• Do not exceed the scale’s maximum capacity.
Overloading your scale can permanently damage it!
• Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales
perform best at normal room temperature. If
temperatures have changed dramatically, calibration
and adjustment may be necessary.
• Allow your scale to warm up for 30-60 seconds before
performing calibration and adjustment(if available).
• Store your scale in a clean, dry location. Dust, dirt,
and moisture can accumulate on the weighing
sensors and electronics causing inaccuracy or
malfunction.
• Avoid using your scale in close proximity to strong
radio wave emitting devices such as computers, cash
registers, and cordless phones.
• Alwaysweighonaatandlevelsurface,freefrom
vibrations and drafts. The corner of a room is usually
the most stable.
• Gently apply all items to be weighed. Do not drop
items onto the weighing platform.
• Avoid dropping your scale. The warranty does not
cover damage due to rough treatment or overload.
• Checkthebatteriesrstifyouarehavinganytrouble
with your scale. This simple step can remedy most
scale issues.
• Do not disassemble your scale. This product contains
no user serviceable parts.
