Frequently Asked Questions - Alessia KE 1600 ADE

How to turn on the scale and use the tare function?

Briefly press the ON/OFF/TARE button to turn on the scale. To tare, place an empty container on the scale, then press ON/OFF/TARE again to reset the display to zero.

What to do if the screen displays 'LO'?

The 'LO' indication means the batteries are low. Replace both batteries with new CR2032 batteries, respecting polarity.

How to change the batteries of the scale?

Remove the battery compartment cover using a Phillips screwdriver. Insert two CR2032 batteries with the + pole facing up. Replace the cover and screw it back.

How to clean the scale?

Never immerse the scale in water. Wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive detergents.

What does the 'EEEE' display mean?

'EEEE' indicates that the maximum capacity of 5 kg has been exceeded. Remove the excess weight from the scale immediately.

How to select the measurement unit?

Press the UNIT button repeatedly to choose between grams (g), ounces (oz), pounds (lb oz), milliliters (ml), or fluid ounces (fl oz).

How to weigh multiple ingredients in the same container?

Use the tare function: after weighing the first ingredient, press ON/OFF/TARE to reset to zero, then add the next ingredient. Repeat until reaching 5 kg.

Why does the scale turn off by itself?

The scale shuts off automatically after about 60 seconds of inactivity to save battery. You can also turn it off manually by holding down the ON/OFF/TARE button.

Can children use this scale?

Yes, from 8 years and under adult supervision. Children should not play with the device or perform cleaning without supervision.

What to do if the scale displays incorrect values?

Check that the scale is on a flat and hard surface. Keep away from electromagnetic devices (phones, radios). If the problem persists, remove the batteries, wait a few seconds, and reinsert them.

The scales are designed for weighing food and objects in the home in the quantities that are usual in that context. The maximum load capacity of 5kg must not be exceeded.

The scales are unsuitable for commercial use, e.g. in bakeries, restaurants, etc.

Safety

• These scales can be used by children 8 years of age and above, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capacities or lacking experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the scales and understand the dangers that may arise.
  Children must not play with the scales.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are 8 years of age or older and are being supervised.
• Batteries, when swallowed, can be life-threatening. You should therefore keep the batteries and scales out of reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately.

DANGER for children

• Keep children away from packaging material. Risk of choking if swallowed. Also, beware that children do not pull the packaging material over their heads.

RISK of fire/burning and/or explosion

• There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery using only the same or an equivalent type of battery. Pay attention to the "Technical Data".
• Batteries must not be recharged, reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into fire, or short-circuited. Otherwise there is an increased risk of explosion and of leakage; furthermore, gases may escape.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and mucosa. If you come into contact with battery acid, flush the affected site immediately with plenty of clean water and see a doctor promptly.

BEWARE of material damage.

• Do not submerge the scales in water or other liquids.

• Place the scales on a stable, even surface.

• Do not overload the scales. Pay attention to the "Technical Data". Place objects on the scales exclusively for the purpose of weighing.

• Protect the scales from sharp jolts and vibrations.

• Remove the batteries from the scales if they have been used up or if you are not going to use the scales for a long time. You will thus avoid damage that may result from the leakage of battery acid.

• When inserting and changing batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-) .

• Do not subject the batteries to extreme conditions by, for example, storing them on heaters or under direct sunlight. Increased risk of leakage!

• Clean the battery and device contacts, as needed, before inserting the battery.

• Only insert batteries of the same type; do not use different types or used and new batteries with each other.
• Do not make any modifications to the scales. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out incorrectly can considerably endanger the user.
• Do not place the scales in the vicinity of devices that emit electromagnetic radiation, such as mobile phones, wireless devices, and the like. This can lead to incorrect display indicators or malfunctions.
• Do not place any objects on the scales when you are – for example – storing them in a cupboard. The sensitive measuring electronics in the scales could be damaged by heavy objects.
• There are feet on the underside of the scales. Since surfaces are made from various materials and are treated with diverse care products, the possibility cannot be completely excluded that some of these substances contain ingredients that attack and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place an anti-slip underlay beneath the scales.

Remove the iso-strip

The batteries are already inserted on delivery and, for protection against premature discharge, are provided with an iso-strip. In order to activate the scales, you must remove the iso-strip. The battery compartment is located on the underside of the device.

1. Loosen the fastening screw of the battery compartment cover using a fine Phillips screwdriver.
2. Push the locking tab slightly towards the middle of the scales and remove the battery compartment cover.
3. Pull the iso-strip out.
4. Put the battery compartment cover back in place and secure it using the fastening screw.

Inserting/changing batteries

To use the scales, you require 2 batteries of the type CR2032, 3V (included in scope of delivery). The battery compartment is located on the underside of the device.

1. Loosen the fastening screw of the battery compartment cover using a fine Phillips screwdriver.
2. Push the locking tab slightly towards the middle of the scales and remove the battery compartment cover.
3. Push the batteries against the contact springs under the large, angular retaining tabs. The batteries then snap into the opposite retaining collars, such that the batteries sit firmly in their retainers.

Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-) . The plus pole (+) for both batteries must point upwards.

1. Put the battery compartment cover back in place. The locking tab must snap securely into place.
2. Secure the battery compartment cover using the Phillips screwdriver.

Notes on changing the battery:

• A change of batteries becomes necessary when "LO" appears on the display, or when nothing at all is displayed.
• Only use the type of battery that is specified in the "Technical Data".
• Always change both batteries at the same time.
• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally appropriate way (see "Disposal")

Weighing

1. Place the scales on an even, firm, and dry surface. Carefully position the scales in order to avoid hard impacts to the sensors/feet and therefore to avoid damage.
2. Switch the scales on by briefly tapping on ON/OFF/TARE. "0" is shown on the display.
3. Choose the desired unit of measurement by repeatedly touching UNIT. Your options are: "g" (grams), "oz" (ounces), "lboz" (pounds), "ml" (millilitres) and "floz" (fluid ounces). Pay attention to the indicator on the display.

Choose "ml" or "floz" when you want to weigh liquids.

1. If you want to weigh something in a container, now place the container without anything in it onto the weighing surface. Otherwise, proceed as described in point 6.
2. Press ON/OFF/TARE.

Depending on the measuring unit chosen, "0 g", "0.0 oz", "0:00 lboz", "0 ml" or "0:00 floz" as well as "ZERO" is shown on the display.

1. Put the substance to be weighed in the container or place it on the weighing surface. The measured weight is shown on the display.
2. Read off the measured weight and remove the item or substance from the container or the weighing surface.

TARE Function

This function is practical, for example, when baking, if you would like to add another ingredient to the ingredients already on the scales.

1. Press ON/OFF/TARE in order to set the scales back to "0".
2. Add the new substance. The weight of the added substance is shown on the display.
3. Repeat the process whenever you want to add more ingredients. The process can be repeated as often as needed until the capacity limit (5 kg) is reached.

Switching off the scales

• Hold down ON/OFF/TARE until the indicator on the display goes out.

The scales automatically switch off if they are not used for approx. 60 seconds.

Resetting the scales

Reset the scales to factory settings if unusual or obviously incorrect values are shown on the display.

1. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and wait a moment.
2. Re-insert the batteries. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+/-) . The plus pole (+) for both batteries must point upwards.

After switching the scales on, you can start weighing as usual.

Cleaning

NOTE on material damage

• Do not immerse the scales in water or other liquids.
• Do not under any circumstances use harsh, scraping, or abrasive cleaning agents or the like to clean the scales. If you do, the surface could be scratched.

The scales should be cleaned immediately after use, especially if they have come into contact with fat or oil, spices, vinegar, and other strongly spiced and/or coloured foodstuffs.

• Wipe down the scales as needed using a lightly dampened, soft cloth. Avoid contact with citric acid.
