OBH Nordica electronic kitchen scale with bowl
Before use
Before you use the kitchen scale for the first time, please read the instruction manual
carefully and save it for future use.
Some information about scales
There are various kinds of scales:
1. The traditional, mechanical scale that registers the weight by means of a spring. The
weight can be read on a disc.
2. The digital scale is also a mechanical scale. The only difference is the reading of the
weight on a display.
3. The modern, electronic scale, where the weighing is controlled by an electronic sensor
that transmits the weight electronically for reading on a display. The advantage of the
electronic scale as compared to the mechanical or digital scale is first of all the fact
that the registration of the weight is far more exact – and the accuracy is eternal. The
mechanical and digital scales, however, will over time be more imprecise due to the
wear and tear of the spring.
You have to consider the fact that an electronic scale is sensitive to serious temperature
fluctuations. Inaccuracies may occur if the scale is cold. Consequently, the scale should be
used at room temperature.
Mounting and change of battery
The scale takes 2 AAA 1.5 V batteries. The batteries shall be mounted in the kitchen scale
before use. Let the scale get room temperature before use.
When mounting the batteries pull the battery drawer at the bottom of the front of the kitchen
scale and at the same time hold back using your thumb right above the battery drawer. You
can now insert or change the batteries by placing them in the battery drawer in such a way
that they are firmly fixed. Do not forget to position the batteries correctly.
Push back the battery drawer.
Weighing
Switch on the kitchen scale by pressing the “0” button to the right side of the display. After
3 seconds “0” and the unit that was used the last time, when the scale was used, will be
displayed. The scale registers up to 5 kg.
By pressing the “U” button to the left side of the display you can switch among showing in g,
fl.oz., oz, cups and ml.
