Setup

Place the kitchen scales on a level and slip-free surface.

This appliance is equipped with non-slip rubber feet. As furniture surfaces may be made of a variety of materials and are treated with many different types of cleaning agents, it cannot be completely ruled out that some substances contain ingredients which may corrode the rubber rests and soften them.

If possible place an anti-slip material under the feet of the appliance.

Operation

Setting the units of measurement

You can choose between the metric and the Anglo-American (Imperial) system. From 0g to 999g the unit is shown in g/oz and from 999g in kg/lbs and g/oz.

Additionally, you can weigh liquids.

In the metric system:

• Milliliter (ml) water
• Milliliter (ml) milk.

In the Anglo-American system:

• Fluid ounces (fl'oz) water
• Fluid ounces (fl'oz) milk.

→ Press the sensor area ON/OFF ⑤. The scale is now in the weighing mode. The programmed adjustment appears under or to the right of the weight indication in the display ③.
To switch between the metric and the Anglo-American weighing systems, press and hold a finger on the sensor area UNIT ⑦ until the unit used for measuring has changed.

→ To switch within a measurement system, g/kg - ml water - ml milk

or

oz/lb:oz - fl' oz water - fl' oz milk

briefly press the sensor area UNIT ⑦ until the desired measurement unit appears in the display

As soon as the programmed time has expired, an acoustic signal sounds. This signal can be switched off by pressing on any sensor area.

Temperature Display

When the scale is switched on, the display 3 shows the temperature in °C at the top right.

Switching the weighing function off

If you do not weigh anything for ca. 2 minutes the scale automatically switches into the clock mode.

→ To switch over to the clock mode manually, press the sensor area ON/OFF 5.

Troubleshooting

If the display ③ shows "Err", the scale is overburdened. Remove material from the scale. Never place more than 5 kg on the scale.
If the display ③ shows "Err" for a short time and the weighing mode cannot be switched on, the scale is overburdened. Remove the items to be weighed from the scale and then switch the scale on again. Place less than 5 kg on the scale.
→ If the display ③ shows "Lo", the batteries are discharged. Replace the batteries.

The notification "Lo" appears only in weighing mode.
→ Should „----“ appear in the display ③, wait a few seconds.
If your scale does not function as expected, replace the batteries. Should the malfunction not be eliminated with these steps please make contact with our Service Centre (see "Warranty and Service").
