General Safety Instructions

WARNING! DANGER OF DEATH AND ACCIDENTS FOR TODDLERS AND CHILDREN!

Never leave children unsupervised with the packaging material. The packaging material represents a danger of suffocation. Children frequently underestimate the dangers. Always keep children away from the packaging material.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY! Do not place more than 5 kg on the scale. This could damage the product.

■ Do not expose the product to

• extreme temperatures,
• direct sunlight
• magnetic fields,
• moisture.

These can damage the product.

• Protect the product from electrostatic charge / discharge. This could hinder the internal data exchange, which causes errors in the LCD readout.
• Check the product for damage before use. Never use a damaged product.
  ■ Magnetic fields may cause the product not to function properly. If this happens, briefly remove the batteries from the product and re-insert them.

OD-SAFE! The taste and smell of your food are not detrimentally affected by this product.

Safety Instructions for Batteries

■ Remove the battery from the device if they are not going to be used for a prolonged period.

CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION! The batteries must never be recharged!

• When inserting the battery, ensure the correct polarity! This is shown in the battery compartment.
  If necessary, clean the batteries and device contacts before inserting the batteries.
  ■ Remove spent batteries immediately from the device. There is an increased danger of leaks!
• Keep batteries away from children; do not throw them in the fire, short-circuit them or take them apart.
  If the above instructions are not complied with, the batteries may discharge themselves beyond their end voltage. There is then a danger of leaking. If the batteries have leaked inside your device, you should remove them immediately in order to prevent damage to the device!

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Any parts of the body coming into contact with battery acid should be rinsed off with copious amounts of water and / or a doctor contacted if necessary!

● Preparing the product for use

☐ Pull out the insulation strip from the battery compartment 5.

● Replacing the battery (Fig. C)

☐ Loosen the screw located at the back of the scale.
☐ Open the battery compartment 5 on the back of the scale.
☐ Remove the used battery, if present.
☐ Insert a battery type CR2032 in the battery compartment.

Note: Make sure you insert the batteries with the correct polarity. This is indicated on the cover of the battery compartment.

☐ Close the battery compartment and tighten the screw.

Operation

☐ Set the kitchen scale on a solid, level and flat surface to weigh.

Weighing

Note: Always place the object you wish to weigh gently onto the weighing surface 1 to avoid damaging the glass surface.

Briefly touch the button ⓄTARE 3 to switch on the kitchen scale. The LC display 2 will show all displays for approx. 3 seconds.

Note: A slight touch of the button ⏻/TARE 3 and the button UNIT 4 is sufficient to operate the kitchen scale. If there is too much pressure, the kitchen scale may cause tilting.

During this time the weighing equipment on the kitchen scale is adjusting. Afterwards the numerical display 10 will read „0“. The unit 11 display will show the last unit selected.

Note: if an object (e.g. a key) is already on the weighing surface 1 while switching on, the numerical display will still read „0”.

Place the item you wish to weigh onto the scale. The numerical display will show the weight of the item you are weighing.

Incrementalweighing

□ Touching the button ⓄTARE 3 with the scale on will change the numerical display 10 from the reading to „0“. The „Tare“ symbol 9 will appear.

☐ Now add another item to weigh onto the scale. The numerical display 10 will show the weight of the newly added item.

☐ If you remove the item added to the scale, the numerical display 10 will again read "0".

☐ If you remove all items from the scale, the LC display 2 will show a negative value indicated by the minus sign 8.

☐ Then briefly touch the button 📋 ARE 3 and the „Tare“ symbol will disappear.

☐ Important! Be sure never to add more than 5 kg to the weighing surface. Overloading the scale can damage it.

● Changing the measuring unit

The kitchen scale will display the weight in the official European measuring unit „g“ (grams), as well as the traditional unit of weight „oz“ (ounce, 1 oz ≈ 28.35 g) or „lb’oz“ (pound: ounce, 1 lb = 16 oz ≈ 453.59 g). When measuring the volume of water, the kitchen scale calculates it by the weight using the official European unit of volume „ml“ (millilitres) or the traditional unit of measure fl’oz (fluid ounces, 1 fl’oz ≈ 28.41 ml). To switch the unit of measure, briefly touch the UNIT button 4. After each time it is touched, the unit display 11 will switch to the next unit listed:

- Switching off

☐ Holding the button ⓋTARE 3 for approx. 3 seconds will off the kitchen scale. If no movement is detected on the weighing surface for 2 minute and no button is pressed, the kitchen scale will automatically switch off.
