CAUTION:
When pressing the MODE and TARE buttons simultaneously, the
scale enters calibration mode. Even with the scale platform empty, the LCD display
will show “2000.0 g”.
To execute calibration, you definitely need a 2kg cali-
bration weight. DO NOT attempt to calibrate the scale without a 2kg calibra-
tion weight at hand!
The scale is factory calibrated and will not need no calibra-
tion, when operating accurately. If you entered calibration mode by mistake,
immediately press the STOP button to cancel the calibration mode. Otherwise, the
existing correct calibration data could be altered, producing incorrect readings.
Always strictly adhere to the instructions in section ‘Calibration’, when entering
calibration mode.
PREPARING THE SCALE FOR OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always unplug the appliance from the mains power supply,
before screwing the scale platform on or off and before moving the appliance.
Only screw on the scale platform until you feel a slight resistance.
DO NOT
tighten
the scale platform, to avoid damage to the sensor.
The scale cannot be operated without the designated scale platform.
1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
2. The scale platform may be stored at the bottom of the appliance. In this case,
turn the scale platform counter-clockwise to unscrew and remove it.
3. Then insert the threaded rod in the centre of the black side of the scale platform into
the scale installing port. Turn the scale platform clockwise until you feel a slight resi-
stance.
DO NOT tighten the scale platform to avoid damage to the scale sensor.
4. Place the appliance on a stable and level surface, where it will not tilt or wob-
ble. Ensure that there are no objects on the scale platform.
5. Connect the small plug of the power cord to the power port at the back of the
appliance. Thereafter connect the power plug to the mains power supply.
The LCD display will be illuminated with some symbols and characters, while
the scale runs an initialisation process. Wait until zero (“0.0g”) is displayed. The
scale is ready for operation now.
6. If required, touch the contact bar to close the lid of the appliance.
Note
If there is a weight displayed with the scale platform empty, simply touch the TARE
button to reset the scale to zero.
