4. Place item to be measured within the center of the Weighing Area of the scale.
5. Volume or weight will be shown on the display.

1. Place the first item(s) within the center of the Weighing Area of the scale to take a measurement.
2. Without removing the item(s), press the ZERO/MODE button to reset the display to 0.
3. Depending on the weight of the item(s), you will see the Zero indicator " or the Tare indicator " on the display.
4. With the first item(s) still in place, add the next item to the surface of the scale. The display will now show the weight of that item.
5. Press ZERO/MODE to see the combined weight of the two items.
6. Press ZERO/MODE again to reset the display to 0.
7. Repeat these steps until all items have been added.

Minus Function

If you add multiple items to the scale at one time to get a total weight, you can identify the value of a single item or ingredient by using the Minus Function:

1. Add item(s) to the scale; display shows total weight.
2. Press ZERO/MODE to reset display to 0.
3. Remove an item.
