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 15kg 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.

Operation

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 TARE. "HELLO" will be shown on the display.
3. Choose the desired unit of measurement by repeatedly touching MODE. You can choose between "g" (grams), "oz" (ounces) and "lboz" (pounds). Pay attention to the indicator on the display.
4. 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.
5. Press TARE.

Depending on the chosen measuring unit, "0 g", "0.00 oz" or "0: 00 lboz" will be 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 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 (15 kg) is reached.

Auto-hold function

After activating the auto-hold function, the measured weight will still be shown after removing the item/substance weighed.

1. Switch the scales on by briefly tapping on TARE.
2. Press and hold the MODE key until "H-ON" is shown on the display.
3. Place the item/substance to be weighed on the scales.

As soon as a beep tone sounds, the weighing process has concluded. You can remove the item/substance from the scales.

• The measured weight will then be displayed for approx. 30 seconds more.
• If you tap TARE, the indicator is immediately set to "0".

In order to switch the auto-hold function off again, press and hold MODE until "H-OFF" is shown on the display.

Switching off the scales

• Hold down 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 (+/-) .

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

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.
