Frequently Asked Questions - Blanca KE 1602 ADE

How to change the batteries of the Blanca KE 1602 scale?

The battery compartment is located under the scale. Press the locking tab, remove the cover, insert 2 LR03 (AAA) batteries respecting polarity (+/-), then close the cover until it clicks.

What does the "Lo" display on the screen mean?

"Lo" indicates that the batteries are low. Replace them with new LR03 (AAA) batteries.

How to use the tare function (weighing by addition)?

Place an empty container on the scale, press the ZERO/MODE button to reset the display, then add the ingredient. The displayed weight corresponds to the added ingredient. Repeat up to 5 kg.

What is the maximum weighing capacity?

The maximum capacity is 5 kg (11 lb). Do not exceed this limit, otherwise the screen will show "Err".

How to clean the scale?

Wipe the scale with a slightly damp soft cloth. Never use corrosive or abrasive detergents and do not immerse the scale in water.

How to choose the measurement unit (g, ml, lb:oz, fl oz)?

Press the UNIT button located under the scale several times to cycle through the units. For solids: g or lb:oz; for liquids: ml or fl oz.

The scale turns off automatically. Is this normal?

Yes, the scale turns off automatically in two stages: the backlight turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity, then the entire unit after 2 minutes. This saves batteries.

What to do if the scale displays incorrect values?

Make sure the scale is on a flat, hard surface, away from electromagnetic devices (phones, radios). If the problem persists, remove the batteries, wait a moment, then reinsert them.

How to reset the scale to factory settings?

Remove the batteries from the compartment, wait a few seconds, then reinsert them respecting polarity. The scale will be reset.

Is there a warranty on the Blanca KE 1602 scale?

Technical Data 20

Disposal 21

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 5 kg 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.

WARNING against risk of injury

- If the scales fall and shatter, there is a risk of injury from glass splinters.

BEWARE of material damage.

• 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 on the scale by briefly pressing down on the weighing platform using slight force.
3. Keep pressing ZERO/MODE briefly to select the correct setting for your material to be weighed. Note the display:

Solid material to be weighed

Weigh water

Weigh milk

To select a different unit of measure, press the UNIT button repeatedly. The following units of measure are available:

• For solid material to be weighed: "g" (gram) and "lboz" (pound)

• For liquid material to be weighed: "ml" (millilitre) and "floz" (fluid ounce).

• 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.

• Press ZERO/MODE. The display shows "0".
• Put the substance to be weighed in the container or place it on the weighing surface. The measured weight is shown on the display.
• Read off the measured weight and remove the item or substance from the container or the weighing surface.

Set the scale to zero

If values are still shown on the display, even if the weighing platform is empty (e.g. if the scale is not optimal or TARE value is still displayed, see next section), you must set the scale to zero.

-Briefly press ZERO/MODE 1x.

If the scale is correctly set to zero, Ⓞ also appears on the display.

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 ZERO/MODE in order to set the scales back to "0".

- If the weight on the weighing platform is less than 200 grams, 📄 is displayed (zero function).

- If the weight on the weighing platform is greater than 200 grams, T is displayed (tare function).

1. Add the new substance. The weight of the added substance is shown on the display.
2. 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

If the scale is no longer used, it automatically switches off in two stages:

• After approx. 15 seconds, the display light switches off.
• After approx. 2 minutes, the scale switches off completely.

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.

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.
