TURNING THE SCALE ON AND OFF
– Place the
scale on a clean, level surface. Push the ON/OFF
button located on the right side of the scale to turn the
scale on. Push it again to turn it off. If you don’t make
an entry for several minutes, the scale turns itself off
automatically
WEIGHING ITEMS
- When a food is placed on the
scale, its weight will automatically appear next to the
Weight heading in the display window. The weight can
be displayed in either metric units (grams) or English
units (pounds and ounces). To convert between met-
ric and English units, press the G/OZ key on the right
side of the scale.
WEIGH USING A CONTAINER
– You may want to
weigh foods or ingredients using a container such as
a bowl or plate. In these situations, the ZERO function
can be used to offset the weight of the container so
that only the weight of the food is calculated by the
scale. This is also commonly referred to as “tare”.
To use the ZERO function, place the empty container
on the scale and press the ZERO key. The weight reg-
istered by the scale will return to zero. The scale will
display “0” after the Weight heading and “ZERO SET”
will be shown on the display. Then, when you place
food in the container, only the food is weighed.
If you want to reset the scale for a new measurement,
remove all items from the scale and press ZERO
again. The scale can also be reset by turning it off
and then back on again.
Note: With each different container used, you should
set a new zero weight.
Tip: If you place the empty container on the scale while
the scale is turned off, the container weight will auto-
matically be zeroed out when you turn the scale on.
