before using your scale
Store your scale securely, making sure it’s locked when it’s not being used. To lock the
scale, seeUnlocking and Locking the Weighing Platform on page 4. Locking the
scale between uses will help protect the weighing platform, which is very delicate. If
excess pressure is put on the platform, the scale may no longer work.
Clean your scale platform between food weighings with a damp cloth.
Be sure to lock the scale before cleaning the platform to prevent overloading from
excessive pressure.
Overload the scale. Make sure the items you place on the platform do not exceed
3 kg (6 lbs., 9.8 oz) or the scale will no longer work. Excessively pressing on the
weighing platform or placing the scale upside down may cause damage.
Please Note: Any damage caused by such overloading will not be covered by
your warranty.
Immerse the scale in water or put it in a dishwasher, as this may cause it
to malfunction.

your recipe by placing one item at a time directly on the platform and then taking it off
after you add it.

when protein, carbohydrates, total fat and fibre grams are known.
You can add a maximum of 10 ingredients per recipe.
Adding Foods to Your Recipe
1. To weigh the first food, place it on the platform (or in the bowl after you have zeroed its
weight). Use the keypad and arrows to enter the name of the food. Press the PointsPlus
button to see the PointsPlus value of the food, or press ADD to build your recipe.

information is stored in memory.
