If you do not want to view “kitchen” values, you can display actual
values by pressing the cooking unit key again.
Important Note: The
calculator will tell you when an actual value is displayed by display-
ing the word “Actual.”
See examples below:

Recipe Scaling—Actual vs. Kitchen Fractions Displayed
When performing Recipe Scaling using the [Adjust Recipe] key
and

measuring spoons or cups (see “Available Kitchen Fractions” on pre-
vious page),
the “kitchen fraction” value will be displayed
first
. A sec-
ond press of the [Adjust Recipe] key will display the actual fraction
value. A third press will display the actual decimal value
.
