USING THE SCALE
TO SWITCH TO ‘SCALE MODE’
TO MEASURE SOLIDS & LIQUIDS
a) Place the weighing platform on the
worksurface, below the display panel, with
the IR sections aligned and unobstructed.
b) If using a bowl, place it on the weighing platform.
c) The action of placing the weighing platform
on the worksurface will usually be sufficient to
switch the display to ‘scale mode’ automatically.
If not, just tap the front edge of the platform
to activate ‘scale mode’ on the display.
d) Always check that the display shows
0
before
weighing. If necessary, press the zero key to
reset the display to
0

TO ADD AND WEIGH
AUTO SWITCH OFF
To weigh several different ingredients into one
bowl: press
zero
to reset the display between
each ingredient.
Automatic switch off occurs if the display
shows either ‘
0
’ or the same weight reading
for 3 minutes. (The backlight switches off after
1 minute).
When the scale switches off, the display will
automatically return to clock mode.
When display is showing time and temperature:
To change between 12 hour and 24 hour display, press
g-oz
briefly.
To change between °C and °F display, press
ml-floz
briefly.
To illuminate the display for 10 seconds, press
zero
briefly.
ADDITIONAL DISPLAY FUNCTIONS IN CLOCK MODE
For correct operation a clear path is required
between the red lens on the weighing platform
and the red lens on the display panel.To help
achieve this, ensure that the IR sections on both
the display panel and weighing platform are
aligned with each other.
Note:
Avoid placing large ‘overhanging’
items on the platform as this may obstruct
the IR signal. Should the IR signal become
obstructed during weighing, the display will
return to ‘clock mode’. Removing the obstruction
promptly will restore the signal.
TAP!
LOW BATTERY WARNING
Replace batteries in scale
(4 x AAA).
Always remove ‘low’
batteries promptly.
Never mix old and
new batteries or different
battery types.
Replace batteries in display
module (3 x AAA).
OVERLOAD WARNING
Total load applied exceeds
max. capacity of scale.
Remove excess load.
ADVICE & CARE
MORE ABOUT LIQUID MEASURES
The aquatronic
TM
is programmed to measure all
water based liquids. In practical terms this
covers almost every liquid used in domestic
cookery including wine, milk, cream etc.
The exception is oil, which is not water based
and would therefore not give such an accurate
measure. (The error would be approx. +10%).
CLEANING
Clean the scale with a slightly damp cloth.
DO NOT immerse the scale in water or use
chemical / abrasive cleaning agents.
All plastic parts should be cleaned immediately
after contact with fats, spices, vinegar and
strongly flavoured / coloured foods. Avoid
contact with acids such as citrus fruits.
