USING THE SCALE
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the scale sensor and preserve the accuracy
of the scale, do not place any objects more than 2 kg in total weight on the sca-
le platform (see: ‘Units of Weight’ and ‘Subtracting the Weight of the Vessel’).
When “o_Ld” is shown on the LCD display, the scale is overloaded! In this case,
immediately remove any weights from the scale platform.
If in doubt, check the approximate total weight (packaging, vessels, and contents)
on another coarse scale. Additionally, remove any weighed objects immediately
from the scale platform after weighing. With too high and too long-lasting load, the
accuracy of the scale sensor will decrease and the scale sensor could get damaged.
If the scale will be idle for a long period of time or you wish to transport the appli-
ance, remove the scale platform to protect the scale sensor from excessive load and
mechanical shock. For storage, you may screw the scale platform on the threaded
hole at the bottom of the appliance.
Always unplug the power plug of the appliance from the mains power supply,
before turning on or off the scale platform and before moving the appliance. To
unscrew the scale platform, turn the scale platform counter-clockwise until you can
lift it upwards without any resistance. Do not pull or push the scale platform, when
it is connected to the scale installing port.

* This unit will be pre-selected, after the appliance has been disconnected from the
power supply.
** The units “ounce” and “pound” are used with different definitions. The scale is
programmed with the Avoirdupois system of units.
Select the unit of weight via pressing the MODE button several times until the sym-
bol of the desired unit is shown on the rightmost column on the LCD display. Your
choice will be stored within the memory of the appliance as long as the appliance
is connected to the mains power supply.
You may change the unit any time you like, even during weighing.
