The scale is unsuitable for commercial use, e.g. in bakeries, restaurants, etc.

Safety

• These scale 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 scale and understand the dangers that may arise.
  Children must not play with the scale.
• 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 can be life-threatening. Therefore, keep batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery has been swallowed or has entered the body in any other way, seek medical help immediately. Failure to do so within 2 hours may result in severe internal burns that could cause death.

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 scale fall and shatter, there is a risk of injury from glass splinters.

BEWARE of material damage

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

• Place the scale on a stable, even surface.

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

• Protect the scale from sharp jolts and vibrations.

• Remove the battery from the item once it has been used up or if you are no longer using the scale. You will thus avoid damage that may result from the leakage of battery acid.

• When inserting and changing battery, 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.
• Do not make any modifications to the scale. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out incorrectly can considerably endanger the user.
• Do not place the scale 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 scale when you are – for example – storing them in a cupboard. The sensitive measuring electronics in the scale could be damaged by heavy objects.
• There are feet on the underside of the scale. 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 scale.

• Only use the type of battery that is specified in the "Technical Data".
• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally appropriate way (see "Disposal")

Weighing

1. Place the scale on an even, firm, and dry surface. Carefully position the scale in order to avoid hard impacts to the sensors/feet and therefore to avoid damage.
2. Switch on the scale by pressing with a little force on the weighing surface for 2 seconds.
3. Choose the desired unit of measurement by repeatedly touching UNIT. You can choose between "g" (grams), "oz" (ounces), "lboz" (pounds), "ml" (millilitres) and "floz" (fluid ounces). Pay attention to the indicator on the display.

Choose "ml" if you would like to weigh liquids.

2. Press OFF/TARE.

Depending on the chosen unit of measurement, "0 g", "0.0 oz", "0: 00 lboz", "0 ml" or "0: 00 floz" as well as "TARE" are 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 scale.

1. Press OFF/TARE in order to set the scale back to "0". "TARE" is shown on the display.
2. Add the new substance. The weight of the added substance is shown on the display.

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

The scale automatically switches off if it is not used for approx. 60 seconds.

Resetting the scale

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

2. Re-insert the battery. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+ / -) . The plus pole (+) must point upwards.

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