OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

The Biggest Loser™ by Taylor® Nutritional Scale is designed for precise measur-
ing of ingredients or portions and for the better understanding of various nutritional values (fat content, salt content, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, protein and
calories) for food or ingredients in cooking, baking, or just general dietary consumption.
This scale offers a complete database on nutritional value information on over
900 foods or ingredients as listed in the USDA National Nutrient Database for
Standard References release 15.This includes nutrition values for most commonly
used ingredients, foods as well as liquids!
Additionally, this scale with its 99 memory entry capacity has the facility to make
multiple food entries and help you keep track of foods in the database over an
extended period of time and store it in its' memory. At the end of the day or
week (or anytime in between) the total accumulated calories, fat grams or mg of
salt, etc, that have been entered into the scale memory can be recalled.All these
features make this scale ideal for everyday and dietary purposes.

NOTE: This scale 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.+1 fl.oz at 10 fl.oz or + 50 ml at 500ml). If
your recipe shows liter or pint measures: 1 liter = 1000 ml, 1 pint = 20 fl.oz, 1/2 pint = 10
fl.oz, 1/4 pint = 5 fl.oz
TO WEIGH
:
1) Press and release the ON/OFF key to turn the scale on
2) Wait until display shows 0.0
