The bathroom scale is designed for the weighing of people in the home. It is not suitable for use in clinics, medical practices, etc.

The maximum load capacity of 250 kg must not be exceeded.

Safety

• This product may be used by children aged 8 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 product and understand the risks that may arise.
• Children must not play with the product.
• 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 scale out of reach of small children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately.

DANGER for children

- Keep packaging material away from children. There is a risk of choking if swallowed. Also pay attention 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 the batteries are replaced improperly. Replace the batteries only with the same or equivalent battery type. 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 leakage; furthermore, gases may escape!

- Avoid contact of the battery fluid with skin, eyes, and mucosa. In case of contact, immediately rinse the affected areas with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor.

WARNING of risk of injury

• Do not step onto the outer edge of any one side of the scale. Risk of tipping!
• Do not step onto the scale with wet feet or when its surface is damp. Risk of slipping!
• If the scale falls down and shatters, there is a risk of injury from glass splinters.

BEWARE of material damage

• Place the scale on a stable, even surface.
• Do not overload the scale. Pay attention to the "Technical data". Place yourself on the scale exclusively for weighing purposes.

• Protect the scale from strong shocks and vibrations.

• Remove the batteries from the scale when they are depleted or when you are no longer using the scale. You will thus avoid damage that may result from leakage of battery acid.

• When inserting and changing batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).
• Do not subject the batteries to any extreme conditions, by – for example – storing them on radiators 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 product. Only allow repairs to be carried out by a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out improperly can considerably endanger the user.
• Do not place the scale in the vicinity of devices that may emit electromagnetic radiation, such as mobile phones, wireless devices, or the like. Doing so may lead to incorrect display indications or malfunctions.
• There are feet on the underside of the scale. Since floor surfaces are made from various materials and are treated with diverse care products, it cannot be completely excluded that some of these substances contain ingredients that may adversely affect and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place a non-slip pad under the scale.

Setting up the scale

1. Place the scale on an even, firm and dry surface. Do not place the scale on a carpet.

• Weigh yourself with as little clothing on as possible.
• Try to always weigh yourself at the same time and under consistent conditions in order to obtain comparable values.

1. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and wait a moment.
2. Reinsert the batteries.

Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+/-).

After switching the scale on, you can weigh yourself as usual.
