Battery Installation

1. This scale operates on 3 “AAA” batteries (included). Always

replace all batteries at the same time; do not combine old
and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline standard (carbon-zinc)
or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

2. Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale.

3. Place the batteries into the battery compartment as indicated

by the polarity symbols marked in the compartment.

4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

5. Replace the batteries if “Lo” appears on the display, or the

readings grow dim or irregular.

General Weighing Operation

1. Place the scale on a hard, level surface.

2. Press the “ON/OFF/TARE” button to turn the scale on. The

display rst shows “ “, then zero when it is ready for use.

If the display does not show zero, press the “ON/OFF/TARE”
button to reset (tare) the scale to zero.

3. Your scale is set at the factory to weigh in pounds/ounces. To
switch to grams, press the “UNIT” button on the bottom of the
scale.

4. Place the item to be weighed on the center of the platform.
The weight will display. As you add weight, the weight
displayed increases.

5. The scale will turn off automatically after 3 minutes of non-use.
Press and hold the “ON/OFF/TARE” button for 3 seconds to turn
the scale off manually.

Tare Operation

You may wish to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container
(not included). In this case, you will need to tare, or offset, the
weight of the bowl so that only the weight of the ingredients is
displayed.

1. Choose a container that will safely balance on the platform
without tipping or falling. Do not use a heavy container, as this
might reduce the maximum capacity of the scale.

2. While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale
platform. Turn the scale on. The display will show “ “
then zero. The weight of the container has been zeroed out.

3. Add the ingredient to be weighed. The weight of the
ingredient alone will display.

Tare Operation (Cont.)

4. The weight of additional ingredients may be tared out as well. For

example, if a recipe calls for ½ lb rice and ½ lb beans, place the
rice into the bowl. Once the correct amount of rice is weighed,
press the “ON/OFF/TARE” button. A running zeros pattern (0000)
shows, then zero. Add the ½ lbs of beans. Both ingredients have
been accurately weighed in the same bowl.

5. When weights have been tared out, the display will show a
negative number when the items are removed from the scale.
To reset the scale back to zero for a new measurement, press the
“ON/OFF/TARE” button. A running zeros pattern (0000) shows, then
the scale resets to zero.

Precautions

1. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove

stains, use a mild soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated
cloths, harsh cleaning agents, or sprays. Avoid contact with acids,
such as citrus juices.

2. Do not tamper with the scale’s internal components. Doing so will
invalidate the warranty on this unit and may cause damage. The
scale contains no user-serviceable parts

3. Although your scale is designed to be maintenance-free, it contains
sensitive electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Treat it with care
to ensure the best performance.

4. This scale is intended for home/consumer use only. It is not intended
for commercial or medical use.

5. This scale is designed to read weights up to 11 lbs/5 kgs. To prevent
damage, do not place more than 11 lbs/5 kgs on it.

6. Do not store scale where you store cleaning chemicals. The
vapors from some household products may affect the electronic
components of your scale. Do not store scale on its side.

7. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. In order to
prevent run down of the battery, do not store anything on the scale.

8. Do not dispose of batteries in re. Batteries may explode or leak.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, carbon-zinc
(standard) or Nickel-Cadmium (rechargeable) batteries. Remove
the batteries if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.

9. Overload Warning: Should “oL” appear on the display during a
weighing, this indicates that the maximum weighing capacity of
the scale has been exceeded. Remove the weight immediately;
otherwise, permanent damage could occur.
