Thank you for purchasing this high-quality product made by ADE. You have acquired a
set of scales that meet the highest technical standards and are of proven quality.
Please read these operating instructions carefully before using the product for the first
time and keep them in a safe place where you can find them whenever you need the
information contained in the instructions.
1. Putting into Service
Inserting the batteries:
Open the lid of the battery compartment on the bottom of the scales and insert the three
supplied 1.5 V AAA batteries. Please observe the correct polarity of the batteries (+/-).
Safety information:
Ensure that no objects fall onto the scales; otherwise, the scales
may be damaged.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the scales. Never use solvents
or abrasive cleaners. Do not put the scales under water. You
must clean all the plastic parts of the scales immediately after
they come into contact with grease, spices, vinegar or any other
strongly spiced or coloured foods. Avoid any contact with citric
acid.
2. Operation
Switching on the scales:
Place the scales on a firm, level base. To switch-on the scales firmly press the weighing
platform, with a pressure of at least 500 g. After the scales have stabilised, they display
"0 g" / “0.0 oz” / “0 ml“ or “0.0 fl.oz“, depending on the setting. The scales are now
ready to weigh. Place the object to be weighed always concentric on the scales to
achieve an accurate weighing result.
Note:
Display the scales a value after power-on, touch the tare-button to set the scales
back to “0 g”.
Units of weight:
The scales are equipped with highly sensitive touch buttons. Touching the min/unit
button (in weighing mode) allows you to change country-specific units of weight (g =
grams / oz = ounces / ml = millilitres / fl.oz = fluid ounces). Please ensure that the scales
are set to the appropriate units of weight for you.
Tare func tion:
Touching the tare-button allows you to set the scales to "0 g". Place a bowl, for example,
on the platform of the scales, touch the tare-button and in this way set the scales back
to "0 g". You can repeat this procedure as often as you like until the total capacity of the
scales (5 kg) has been reached. After you remove the item(s) to be weighed, the total
weight is displayed as a minus value.
Note: Is the weight to be tared heavier than 600 g or if the tared total weight exceeds
600 g, appears on top of the display the symbol TARE.
Automatic- / manua l switch-off the scale:
If the indicated weight does not change within approx. 20 seconds, the backlight of the
scales switches-off automatically. If the indicated weight does not change within approx.
40 seconds, the scales will automatically switch-off.
3. Timer
Set-up timer:
Press on the weighing platform to switch-on the scales. Touch the reset-button to enter
the timer mode. The display indicates on the top right the symbol
and "00:00”. When
you used the timer-function once before the previous time-input appears. Touching the
reset-button for approx. 2 seconds allows you to set the time indicating back to “00:00”.
Now you can touch the min/unit-button to set the desired minutes (with persistent
touching in 10th steps) and by touching the sec-button the seconds (with persistent
touching in 10th steps). After entering the desired time, touch again the reset-button to
confirm the input. The timer runs and after expiry of time a loud peep-tone sounds for
about 60 seconds. Stop the beep by touching one of the buttons. During expiration, the
timer-function can anytime be stopped and/or required to operate by touching the reset-
button.
Note: If, within about 20 seconds after the start of the timer, no further action takes place,
the backlight of the scales and after further 10 seconds, the scales will automatically
switch-off; the timer function remains activated.
Switch between timer- and weighing mode:
If the scales are in weighing mode, touch the reset-button to enter the timer mode. The
weighing function is closed.
If the scales are in timer mode, touch the tare-button to enter the weighing mode.
If the
timer was previously activated, the timer function runs unto the expiry of time,
except the
function has been stopped by touching the reset-button.
