2. GENERAL WEIGHING OPERATION
a) Press the ON/OFF key to turn the scale on. If using a bowl or other
container (not included), place the bowl on the scale before turning it on
to “Zero Out” the weight of the bowl. You may press the ZERO key to reset
the scale to zero.
b) Your scale is set at the factory to weigh in pounds/ounces (lb/oz). To
switch to grams (g), fluid ounces (fl. oz), or milliliters (ml) press the
“MODE” key. The current units of measurement are indicated above the
weight reading. For your convenience, the scale has a “weight mode”
memory, so when the scale is next switched on, it will continue to use the
weight units last selected.
c) Place the item to be weighed onto the platform (or in the bowl); the weight
will display. As you add weight, the weight displayed increases.
d) “Add & Weigh” feature: To weigh several ingredients together in the same
bowl, press the ZERO key to reset the display to zero out the scale between
each ingredient. For example, if a recipe calls for 1/2 lb. rice and 1/2 lb
beans, place the rice into the bowl. Once the correct amount of rice is
weighed, press the ZERO key until the display resets to zero; add 1/2 lb. of
beans. Both ingredients have been accurately weighed in the same bowl.
e) When weights have been zeroed out, the display will show dashes (“-----”)
when the items are removed from the scale. To reset the scale back to
zero for a new measurement, press the ZERO key until the display resets to
zero.
f) The scale will turn off automatically after one (1) minute of non-use when
nothing is on the platform, two (2) minutes when weight is on the platform.
To conserve battery power, press and hold the “ON/OFF” key for two (2)
seconds to turn the scale off manually.
TIP: The liquid measure feature is suitable for all water based liquids,
(e.g. wine, milk, stock, cream, etc.). Please be advised that oils have
a significantly lower specific gravity and would give a reading of
approximately +10%. Please adjust your recipe by this proportion when
measuring oils on this scale.
