Hold the [0] button for 3 seconds to turn off the unit. The unit turns off automatically after 5 minutes in idle.

WEIGHT & VOLUME MEASUREMENT

Weight scale is built in the measuring cup and it can measure the weight of your food and display the volume of selected ingredients (water, milk, oil, sugar or flour).

To ensure an accurate measurement, it is suggested to check the weight of an empty cup every time you turn on the unit. It should read 0 gram (or oz) for the empty cup. If not, please calibrate the cup following the instruction in the "CALIBRATION" section.

Weight Measurement

1) Select "SCALE" display mode by pressing the [m] button repeatedly until the arrow icon is pointing to "Scale"
2) Press [u] to change the weight unit between gram and oz, if needed
3) Place the ingredient into the cup
4) Place the cup on a flat table to display the reading. Once the reading is shown, you may also hold the cup in your hand for easy viewing

Weight unit selection: GRAMS and LBS OZ.

The display resolution of “LBS OZ” is 1/8 OZ. If a finer resolution and higher accuracy is required, please select gram for measurement and convert back to LBS OZ, if needed.

Volume Measurement

1) Select between the different ingredients (water, milk, oil, sugar or flour) by pressing the [m] button repeatedly
2) Press [u] to change to the desired unit, if needed
3) Place the ingredient into the cup

4) Place the cup on a flat table to display the reading. Once the reading is shown, you may also hold the cup in your hand for easy reading

NOTE: The volume measurement is converted from the weight and the pre-set density of the ingredient by the processor in the cup. There are different types of milk, oil, sugar or flour on the market. Different types, brands & origins of the same ingredient have different density. For this reason, some variation of the volume measurement will occur depending on the type of ingredients you are using. The volume reading provided by the cup can only be used as an approximate value.

The density and type of ingredients being used in the cup are shown below.

Density units selection available

Water 1 kg/l ML, CUPS, FL OZ

Milk 1.03 kg/l ML, CUPS, FL OZ

Oil 0.9 kg/l ML, CUPS, FL OZ

Sugar (granulated sugar) 0.84 kg/l GRAMS, CUPS, LBS OZ

Flour (all purpose flour – not sifted) 0.6 kg/l GRAMS, CUPS, LBS OZ

The display resolution of "FL OZ" and "CUPS" is 1/8. If finer resolution and higher accuracy is required, please select mL (or gram) for the measurement and convert back to FL OZ or CUPS if needed.

Tare (set zero) Function

It is easy and convenient to build up and mix different ingredients together all in the same cup. After the first ingredient is added and measured, you may add another ingredient after performing the tare function as described below.

- Place the cup with first ingredient on a flat table

- Press the [0] button once. The reading will reset to zero and the "TARE" icon will remain on the upper display

Now you can add your additional ingredient. Only the weight or volume of the last ingredient added is measured. Continue the above procedure to build up different ingredients for your recipe.

NOTE: The tare function only functions correctly if the cup is placed on a flat surface

Reversing the Tare Function

Right after the tare function has been performed and the display is showing "0" with the "TARE" icon displayed, you can press the [0] button to resume to the original weight or volume reading just as before the tare function and the "TARE" icon will disappear.

NOTE: The reverse tare only functions if the cup is placed on a flat surface

MIXING (IMPORTANT NOTE)

It is easy and convenient to mix different ingredients in the bowl scale. It can withstand up to 5 Kg of maximum loading. When the total weight and force during mixing is greater than 5kg, the unit will beep and display "Err". Make sure to remove the weight and stop the mixing action immediately.

Sensitive weight scale components are located at the base of the scale and excessive force & weight applied to the base may permanently damage the scale inside and provide inaccurate reading.

To extend product life span, please detach the bowl and mix your ingredients on the detached bowl when the loading is close to or greater than 5kg.

FAULT MESSAGE DISPLAY

The scale is unstable and the unit will turn off automatically. Place the cup on a flat table and turn on the unit again by pressing the [0] button once.

Err: Error

The scale is overloaded. The weight or volume in the bowl exceeds the maximum display range (refer "Specification" section) and the unit will beeps. Remove the weight & stop all mixing immediately.

CALIBRATION

To ensure an accurate measurement, it is recommended to check the weight of an empty cup every time you turn on the unit. It should read 0 gram (or oz) for your empty cup.

Calibration for the cup is needed ONLY if the reading of your EMPTY cup is higher than zero (gram, oz, cups, fl oz or ml). The calibration process will reset the reading to zero for the empty cup.

To calibrate,

1) Make sure the transparent cup is attached to the base
2) Make sure the cup is empty. Clean the unit with a dry cloth to remove any excess liquid in the cup
