NUTRI-BALANCE 2 Manual
Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh NUTRIBALANCE 2 nutritional scale. Please read all operating
instructions carefully before use. Scales are precision
instruments and should always be handled with proper
care. To ensure years of reliable service, keep these simple
tips in mind:
• Do not exceed the scales maximum capacity. Overloading
your scale can permanently damage it!
• Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales perform
best at normal room temperature. If temperatures have
changed dramatically, recalibration may be necessary.
• Store your scale in a clean, dry location. Dust, dirt, and
moisture can accumulate on the weighing sensors and
electronics causing innacuracy or malfunction.
• Avoid using your scale in close proximity to strong radio
wave emitting devices such as cordless phones.
• Always weigh on a at and level surface, free from
vibrations and drafts. The corner of a room is usually the
most stable.
• Avoid dropping your scale. The warranty does not cover
damage due to rough treatment or overload.
