Kitchen Scales
Weighing is the quickest and most accurate way to measure most dry and solid
ingredients such as sugar, fl our and shortening for consistently reliable results.
With your new Cuisinart
®
Kitchen Scale, weighing is simple and easy. Designed
to meet all your household measuring needs, your scale will provide precise,
consistent weighing of cooking/baking ingredients for the best results. Use your
scale to weigh food portions specifi ed in your dieting guides. You can even weigh
oversized letters and packages to ensure you have the right amount of postage.
The Cuisinart
®
Kitchen Scale is compact, light and convenient to store. Operation
and cleanup are fast and easy. It weighs in
1
⁄
8
ounce increments up to a maximum
of 11 pounds. This scale converts from ounces to grams at the touch of a button
and weighs in gram increments up to a maximum of 5 kilograms.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove any labels or clear protective fi lms from the scale before
fi rst use.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Your scale includes either a 3-volt lithium battery or 2 AAA
batteries. Insert batteries into the battery compartment situated
underneath the scale.
NOTE:
When “Lo” appears on the display screen, the batteries
must be replaced.
WEIGHING ITEMS
1. Place the scale on a level, hard surface.*
2. Choose to weigh directly on the glass platform, or use a bowl or
glass container for sanitary food handling (see Tare Function).
3. Press the |/O button to turn the scale on. “HI” fi rst appears on
the display followed by “0” g, indicating the scale is ready
for use.
4. Place the object/food item to be weighed on the platform and
read the weight on the LCD screen.
* A small “O” symbol indicates the scale is level enough for accurate
readings.
NOTES:
Weights are displayed in 1 g increments. The scale will
read up to 5.2 kg, after which “O-Ld” is displayed on the screen.
This means the scale is overloaded. Do not touch any parts of the
scale with your hands while weighing is in progress. The scale is
very sensitive and may pick up extra readings.
CHANGING MODES
To change from metric (kg/g) to imperial (lbs/oz) mode at anytime
during use, press the MODE button once.
TARE FUNCTION
WEIGHING WITH A BOWL
You may want to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container.
The tare option offsets the weight of the bowl so that you are only
weighing the ingredient. If you remove the bowl from the scale, a
minus weight (weight of bowl) appears in the display.
1. Place a bowl on the scale platform.
