Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® Digital Scale with Measuring Cup. Please read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.

Please note: For an accurate reading for any type of kitchen scale, the scale must be resting on a hard, level surface. If this scale with measuring cup is held in the hand or is otherwise uneven, the buttons and digital display may not function properly.

Initial Setup And Battery Replacement Initial Setup

1. This scale operates on one CR2032 Lithium battery (included).

2. The battery is already installed. To activate, pull out the insulation strip from the battery door.

3. After pulling the strip, rest the scale on a flat, even surface.

4. Press the "∅" button to turn the unit on. The display should read 0 (zero). Go to "Calibration" section to calibrate the scale if the reading is other than 0 (zero).

Battery replacement: Your Taylor® scale is equipped with a low battery indicator. It will display a low battery icon or readings will grow dim or become irregular if the battery needs replacement.

Using a coin in the battery cover slot, rotate the battery door to the "OPEN" position. Remove the non-functioning battery. Replace with one CR2032 Lithium battery according to the polarity indicated. Again using a coin, rotate the battery door in reverse direction to the "CLOSE" position. Follow steps #3 & #4 above.

1. Be sure that the unit is on a hard, level surface. Do not hold the

unit in the air during the weighing process.

NOTE: The volume measurement is converted from the weight & the pre-set density of the ingredient. There are different types of milk, oil, sugar or flour in the market. The density and type of ingredients being used for the scale are shown below. We have also included a handy conversion chart for your use and reference to assist you in converting other foods from weight (FL OZ, mL, LBS-OZ, GRAMS) to volume (CUPs).

Type	Density	Unit of Measure (U) 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 †	0.84 kg/L	CUPS, LBS-OZ, GRAMS
Flour ‡	0.6 kg/L	CUPS, LBS-OZ, GRAMS
*Milk = skim or 2% - **Oil = Vegetable, Corn & Olive
† Sugar = Grumlated sugar
‡ Flour = All purpose flour – unrafted

The digital measurement increments for CUPS = 1/8 Cup; FL OZ = 1/8 FL OZ; OZ = 1/8 OZ; GRAM = 1 Gram; mL = 1 mL. For items that are lighter or smaller amounts, select gram or mL and convert back to FL OZ/OZ-LBS or CUPS.

Weight & Volume Measurement (cont.)

Tare (zerb) 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 below.

- Place the cup with first ingredient on hard, even surface.

- Single press "∅" button. 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 reflected in the weight/volume displayed. Continue above procedure to build up different ingredients for your recipe.

If ingredients are removed from the measuring cup after using the Tare function, the display will show a negative number. To reset the scale back to zero for a new measurement, press the "∅" button. The display resets to zero.

NOTE: The tare function only operate when the cup is placed on a hard, even surface

Reversing the Tare Function

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

NOTE: The reverse tare function only operate when the cup is placed on a hard, even surface
