accurate weight, place the scale away from air conditioning and heat vents and
direct sunlight. Place the scale on a stable, flat, level surface.

BABY BASKET OR SCALE HOUSING SHOULD HANG OVER THE
EDGE OF ANY SURFACE
.
2.
Check the calibration of the scale following the instructions provided in the Service
Section of this manual.
