INSTRUCTION OF TARE FUNCTION
You may wish to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container (
not
included
). In this case, you will need to tare, or offset, the weight of
the bowl so that only the weight of the ingredients is displayed.
1.
Choose a container that will safely balance on the platform
without tipping or falling. Do not use a heavy container, as this
might reduce the maximum capacity of the scale.
2.
While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale
platform. Turn the scale on. The display will show “
8888
”, then a
zero display. The weight of the container has been zeroed out.
3.
Add the ingredient to be weighed. The weight of the ingredient
alone will display.
4.
The weight of additional ingredients may be tared out as well. For
example, to measure ½ lb rice and ½ lb beans together, place the
rice into the bowl. Once the correct amount of rice is weighed,
press the “
TARE/
” button until the display resets to zero. Add
½ lb of beans. Both ingredients have been accurately weighed in
the same bowl.
5.
When weights have been tared out, the display will show a
negative number when the items are removed from the scale. To
reset the scale back to zero for a new measurement, simply press
the
“
TARE/
” button again. The scale will reset to zero.
