There are several different types of scales

1. The traditional mechanical scale that estimates the weight on the basis of spring action – subsequently the weight can be read from a dial.
2. The digital scale which is in fact also a mechanical scale with the exception that weight measurements are read from a display.
3. The modern electronic scale, which performs weighing by means of an electronic sensor and converts the weight electronically for display reading. The advantage of the electronic scale over the mechanical or digital scales is first and foremost that it performs far more accurate measurements – and will continue to do so. The mechanical and digital scales become increasingly inaccurate over time, partly due to worn spring in these types of scales.

Please note that electronic scales are sensitive to major temperature swings. Inaccuracies may occur if the scale is cold. The scale consequently works best at normal room temperature.

Replacement and insertion of batteries

The scale requires 2 type CR2032 lithium batteries that must be inserted before the scale can be taken into use. Allow the scale to adapt to normal room temperature.

To insert batteries remove the battery door on the back of the scale. The batteries can now be inserted or replaced by placing them in the battery compartment so that the batteries are firmly fixed – make sure that the batteries are placed correctly.

Re-attach battery door. When the battery needs to be replaced “Lo” will appear in the display.

Weighing

When the batteries have been inserted, switch on the weight by pressing the TARE/ON/OFF button in the right lower corner. After a few seconds “0” appears in the display together with the unit selected the last time the scale was used. The scale is now ready for use. The scale is capable of weighing up to a maximum of 5 kg.

Toogle between g, fl.oz., lb oz, and ml readings by pressing the UNIT button to the right of the display.

Reset

This kitchen scale is equipped with a convenient reset function which enables all ingredients to be weighed directly in the same bowl, one at a time. When you have finished weighing the first ingredient, the scale is reset by a quick tap on the TARE/ON/OFF button.

After resetting the scale is ready for weighing the next ingredient. Remember to reset after weighing each ingredient. If the most recently weighed ingredient is removed again after resetting, its weight will be displayed with a negative sign. Press reset and the scale is ready for use again. If the scale has not been reset after weighing the last ingredient, and this ingredient is removed, the scale will read "0" again.

If the scale is overloaded (a load of more than 5 kg), the display will read "EEEE". Remove surplus ingredients from the scale and it is ready for weighing again.

Switch off

In order to save battery life the scale automatically switches off after approximately 60 seconds of non-use. The scale can also be switched off manually by pressing and holding the TARE/ON/OFF button for a few seconds.

Cleaning and maintenance

The surface can be wiped clean using a soft cloth moistened with water and a mild detergent. Wipe dry using a dry cloth or paper towel. Never use strong, abrasive cleaners as these may scratch the surface. The scale may not be immersed in water or other liquids. Do not place the scale near strong heat sources such as cookers or radiators.

Environmental considerations and disposal of batteries

When disposing of batteries it is essential to take the environment into consideration. Used batteries must never be disposed of with domestic garbage. Used batteries marked with the icon indicating separate waste collection must be returned to one of the authorized collection points. Batteries must be removed from the appliance before it is disposed of. Also take care that the batteries are not expired or become worn-out since there may then be a risk that the batteries will leak acid. Check the validity date printed on the batteries.

Disposal of the appliance

Legislation requires that all electrical and electronic equipment must be collected for reuse and recycling. Electrical and electronic equipment marked with the symbol indicating separate collection of such equipment must be returned to a municipal waste collection point.
