ECO-5K

 

Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh ECO-

5K 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. This scale 

has integrated overload protection, but any overload 

protection has its limits.

• 

Avoid weighing in extreme heat or cold. Scales perform 

best at normal room temperature.

• 

This scale has been calibrated at the factory. Only 

advanced users should attempt recalibration using the 

specified calibration masses.

• 

Store your scale in a clean, dry location. Dust, dirt, and 

moisture can accumulate on the weighing sensors and 

electronics causing inaccuracy or malfunction.

• 

Keep the area around and under the scale clean. Loose 

debris under the scale can push against the base causing 

inaccuracy.

• 

Avoid using your scale in close proximity to strong radio 

wave emitting devices such as cordless phones.

•  Always weigh on a flat 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. Overload protection does not 

protect the sensor from shock loading.

• 

Avoid dropping your scale. The warranty does not cover 

damage due to rough treatment or overload.

•  Check the batteries first if you are having any trouble with 

your scale. This simple step can remedy most scale issues.
