Instrument functions
This digital nutritional analysis scale can be used to
weigh foods or to monitor nutrition. Weight is dis-
played in 1 g graduations. The scales are designed
for private use. The following functions can thus be
performed quickly and easily:
• measuring the
weight
of foodstuffs up to 5000 g
(weighing mode),
• determining various
nutritional values
(protein
content, fat content, cholesterol, carbohydrate
content) of 950 foodstuffs,
• determining the
energy value
of 950 foodstuffs in
kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ),
• calculating the carbohydrate content in bread units
(
BE
),
• storing foodstuffs which have been weighed over
a specific period and displaying the totals (storage
mode).
Moreover, the nutritional analysis kitchen scale also
includes the following additional functions:
• 50 individually allocable memory spaces for foods,
• Additional weighing function (tare function) for
weighing foodstuffs directly one after the other in
one bowl,
• Possibility to switch between grams and ounces,
• Automatic switch-off function after 180 seconds,
• Automatic warning function when the upper
weighing range limit of 5000 g is exceeded,
• ‚Change battery‘ display when batteries are low.

Keep these instructions carefully and also make them
accessible to other users.
WARNING
• Please note that you must not take any medica-
tion (e.g. administration of insulin) based solely on
the nutritional information of the nutritional analy-
sis scale. Check the nutritional information against
a second source before administering medication
(e.g. literature on the subject, nutritional courses).
A plausibility check is particularly important in view
of possible operating errors (e.g. typing errors when
entering information) as well as possible deviations
of nutritional food values from the approximate val-
ues stored in the nutritional analysis scale. In seri-
ous cases, this could lead to errors in administering
medication, for which we cannot assume liability.
IMPORTANT
• The values stored in the scale for finished prod-
ucts and mixtures (e.g. Black Forest gateau) may
be subject to relatively great deviations depending
on the manufacturer or preparation. With finished
products, we therefore recommend comparing the
values with the information given by the manufac-
turer on the packaging and, with mixtures, we rec-
ommend calculating the nutritional value by addi-
tion of the separate ingredients.
• The stored nutritional values for the individual food
items are programmed into the scale in good faith
and in accordance with the applicable data at the
time of printing the instructions for use.
If foods have no information (display:
), do
not add these to the sum function. The end result
could be incorrect.
• The scale is not intended to be used to weigh
medication or unauthorised substances.
• The product is for private use only and is not
intended for medical or commercial use.
Batteries
• Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. You should
store the batteries where they are inaccessible to
small children. If a battery has been swallowed,
medical assistance must be obtained immediately.
• Never throw batteries into the fire. Danger of
explosion!
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated
with any other means, nor should they be taken
apart or shortcircuited.
• Remove the batteries if the instrument is not going
to be used for a longer period. This prevents any
damage as a result of leakage.
