5. When finished, press the "On/Tare/Off" button to turn the scale off.
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

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 turn on and then show a zero display. The weight of
the container has been zeroed out.
3. Add the ingredient to be weighed. The weight of the ingredient alone will
display.
4. 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
