KEY DEFINITIONS
o On/Clear Key
Turns power on. Pressing once clears the display. Pressing twice clears any previously entered value.
c o Off
Turns all power off. Clears all non­permanent registers.

Four-function percent.
c Convert
Converts to various unit keys (e.g., cooking units, temperature).
c + – Memory

R R – Clear Memory c - – Change Sign
(+/-)
Changes the sign of the displayed value from + to - and vice versa.
c * Clear Recipe Memory
Clears the values entered into the # of Servings and Portion Size keys, as these values are stored in Memory (e.g., remain stored even after you turn your calculator off).
c * * Clear All
Clears all stored values, including Memory, serving and portion sizing.
/ Fraction Bar Key
Used to enter fractions (e.g., 1 /
3 C).
c / – Rnd +/-
(Remainder)
Displays the fractional remainder (if applicable), due to calculator rounding. This is an optional calculation and should be used if you want more pre­cise measurements. When the calcula­tor has rounded by more than 5%, the display will read ^Rnd (it has rounded up) or vRnd (rounded down). When this occurs, press c / to display the remainder. A (+) tells you to add the
P
OCKETREFERENCEGUIDE

additional measurement, and a (–) tells you to subtract (e.g., c / = + 0-1/2 TSP means you should add an addi­tional 1/2 Teaspoon of the ingredient).
Note: If you want to minimize rounding altogether, convert to the next smallest cooking unit (e.g., if it reads Tablespoons, convert to Teaspoons).

COOKING UNIT CONVERSIONS
Converting cooking or other weight/vol­ume unit measurements is quick and easy. To convert cooking units, enter the quantity, press the cooking unit key/label, and then press the c key followed by the desired unit of measure key. To enter fractions (e.g., 1/2 Cup), use the / key. Also, some units (like Gallons) don’t have dedicated keys, but are second functions of primary keys. These are color-labeled over various number/digit or other keys. They can be accessed using the c key.
Note: It is incorrect to convert volumes to weights and vice versa (weights vary, e.g., a cup of flour weighs less than a Cup of water); thus, the calculator will not allow you to do so. The calculator will display the word “Sorry” if this occurs.

T
) will display the rounded “kitchen value” (e.g., 0-1/2 TBSP) and a third press will display the actual deci­mal value (e.g., 0.333 TBSP).
RECIPE SCALING
One of the most useful features of the
KitchenCalc
is its ability to adjust recipes. It calculates new ingredient amounts when you change the num­ber of servings a recipe makes (e.g., when you want it to serve ten people instead of only four). This allows you to cook or bake with precision by measuring the correct ingredient quantities. The
KitchenCalc
also lets you adjust ingredients when you change a recipe’s portion size (e.g., if you want to serve 4 oz. portions for each person, instead of 6 oz.). See the following examples.
Basic Example
You’d like to make 5 servings of instant brown rice, but the box only lists a measur­ing chart for 4 servings (2 cups of rice and 1-3/4 Cups of water). How much rice and water do you need for five servings?

CHANGING THE NUMBER OF SERVINGS
Increasing Number of Servings
You need your brownie pudding cake recipe to yield 12 servings instead of 8. The recipe contains the following ingre­dients:
– 1-1/4 Cups flour – 1-1/2 Cups sugar – 1/2 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder – 2 tsp. baking powder – 3 tbsp. butter or margarine, etc.

DISPLAYING ACTUAL FRACTIONS VS. “KITCHEN FRACTIONS”
A unique feature of your calculator is that it will display both actual fractions and “kitchen fractions” during conver­sions or recipe scaling calculations. That is, if the answer is 3/4 TBSP, it knows there is no “3/4” of a Tablespoon, or measuring spoon, available to measure with; instead, it will show the rounded answer (e.g., 1 TBSP).
For more precise measuring, you can then press the c / keys to display the remainder amount to add or sub­tract, or simply convert the value to the next lowest cooking unit (e.g., TSP), to avoid the remainder altogether.
If you do not want to view “kitchen” values, you can display actual values by pressing the cooking unit key again.
Important Note:
The calculator will tell you when an actual value is displayed by displaying the word “Act.”

USING THE TIMER
Your calculator functions not only as a cooking unit converter and recipe scaler, but also as a kitchen timer. The audible timer counts up and down. See instruc­tions below:
Using the T
imer – Press to access
the built-in timer or timer mode. The timer can be set to count down from 24 hours or less. The timer will count up to 12 hours.
Count Up and Pause T
imer – Once
in timer mode, press again to start counting up. Press it once more to pause or freeze counting. Continue counting by pressing .
P

Count Down and Stop Timer – To set
the timer to count down, follow this example: Set the timer for a baking time of 1 hour, 30 minutes:
DESCRIPTION/KEYSTROKE DISPLAY
Access timer: 0:00:00 Enter 1 hour: 1 0:00:01 Enter 30 min.: 3 0 0:01:30 Enter 0’s for sec.: 0 0 1:30:00 Start Timer: 1:30:00
Note: Press again to pause counting down. Press it once more to continue.
Clear the Timer Display – Press o.
Important Note:
You must first pause the
timer if it’s counting, then press o.
Exit the T
imer – To clear and exit the
timer mode (once the timer is paused), press o twice. To exit the timer mode without clearing the timer, press o only once, or press any non-timer key. Note: If the timer is not cleared, the clock symbol will continue to blink on the dis­play to remind you the timer is running.
Using the Calculator While T
iming –
You can also use the calculator while timing and it will not interfere with timer operations. To do this, press o to
P
OCKETREFERENCEGUIDE

exit the timer mode and continue to use calculator functions. To return to the timer mode, press again.
Note: The clock symbol will continue to blink on the display to remind you the timer is run­ning when in “calculator” mode.
Timer Alarm – After the timer is fin­ished counting up or down, you will hear an audible alarm. To clear the timer alarm, press the key.
T
imer Reminder and Alarm – If you
are in “calculator” mode and do not press a key for 11 minutes, the running timer will be displayed as a reminder. Also, in case you forget the timer, after the timer alarm goes off it will begin counting up for an additional hour, dis­playing the “+” sign to remind you of the amount of time elapsed since the alarm sounded.
Auto Shut-Off
– If the timer is left on after the timing period expires, and you are not using the calculator, the calcu­lator will automatically shut off in:
• Count-down timer: 1 hour, 11 minutes
• Count-up timer: 12 hours, 11 minutes

ERRORS AND RESET Errors
When an incorrect attempt to convert between liquid measures, dry measures, or temperature occurs, the calculator will display the word “Sorry” for a few seconds before showing the initial value on the dis­play. If an error is displayed, press any key.
Reset
If your calculator’s display should ever freeze or “lock up,” press Reset, a small hole located above the d key, using the end of a paper clip.
ACCURACY Accuracy: Each calculation is carried out
internally to ten digits.
AUTO SHUT-OFF AND BATTERIES Auto Shut-Off: After 8-12 minutes of non-use.
Batteries Included: Two LR-43 batteries. Battery-Life: 575 hours of actual use.
To replace the batteries, use a small Phillip’s head screwdriver and unscrew the single screw in the center of the battery door, located on the back of the calculator
Carefully remove the battery door, remove the old batteries from the clips and replace them with two new LR-43 batteries. Make sure the positive sides (+) are facing up. Replace the battery door and re­attach the screw.
