QUARTZ

Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh
QUARTZ digital kitchen scale. Please read all operating
instructions carefully before use. Scales are precision
measuring devices and should always be handled with
proper care. To ensure years of reliable service, keep these
simple tips in mind:

• Use on a solid, level surface.

• Do not exceed the scale’s maximum capacity.
Overloading your scale can permanently damage it.

• Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales
perform best at normal room temperature.

• Store your scale in a clean, dry location. Dust, dirt,
and moisture can accumulate on the weighing
sensors and electronics causing inaccuracy or
malfunction.

• Gently apply all items to be weighed. Do not drop
items onto the weighing platform.

• Check the batteries rst if you are having any trouble
with your scale. This simple step can remedy most
scale issues.

• Do not disassemble your scale. This product contains
no user serviceable parts.

• Do not immerse this product in water

• Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not user chemicals
or harsh abrasives.

• Remove the battery if storing the scale for long
periods of time.

• Waste batteries should not be disposed of with
household waste. Check with your local authority for
battery and recycling advice.
