Battery Installation; Tare Operation - Salter 1047 Manuel D'instructions

Battery Installation

1. This scale operates on 4 "AAA" batteries (included). Remove any plastic wrap
from the batteries before proceeding. Always replace all batteries at the same
time; do not combine old and new batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, carbon-zinc
(standard) or Nickel-Cadmium (rechargeable) batteries.
2. Open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale.
3. Place the batteries into the battery compartment with the correct polarity
orientation.
4. Replace the battery cover.
5. Replace the batteries when "Lo" is displayed, or the readings grow dim or irregular.
General Weighing Operation
1. Place the scale on a hard, level surface.
2. Press "ON-ZERO" to turn the scale on. The display first shows "8888", then zero
when it is ready for use. If the display does not show zero, press "ON-ZERO" to
reset (tare) the scale to zero.
3. Your scale is set at the factory to weigh in pounds/ounces. To switch between
grams (g), pounds and ounces (lb:oz), milliliters (ml) and fluid ounces
(fl.oz)grams, press the "oz/lb/floz/ml " button. Aquatronic® feature to measure
liquid ingredients: The Aquatronic® liquid measure feature is suitable for all water
based liquids, including wine, milk, stock, cream etc. Note: Oils have a lower
specific gravity, which will result in a volume reading of approx +10%. If
measuring oils by volume on this scale, please adjust for this accordingly.
4. Place the item to be weighed on the center of the platform. The weight will
display. As you add weight, the weight displayed increases.
5. The scale will turn off automatically after 1 minute of non-use or if there is no
change in weight after 3 minutes. Press and hold "ON-ZERO" to turn the scale off
manually.

Tare Operation

You may wish to weigh ingredients a bowl or other container (not included). In this
case, you will need to tare, or offset, the weight of the bowl so that only the weight
of the ingredients is displayed.
1. Choose a container that will safely balance on the platform without tipping or
falling. Do not use a heavy container, as this might reduce the maximum
capacity of the scale.
2. While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale platform. Turn the
scale on. The display will show zero. The weight of the container has been
zeroed out.
3. Add the ingredient to be weighed. The weight of the ingredient alone will display.
4. The weight of additional ingredients may be tared out as well. For example, if a recipe
calls for ½ lb rice and ½ lb beans, place the rice into the bowl. Once the correct
amount of rice is weighed, press "ON-ZERO" until the display is reset to zero. Add the ½
lbs of beans. Both ingredients have been accurately weighed in the same bowl.
5. When weights have been tared out, the display will show a negative number when the
items are removed from the scale. To reset the scale back to zero for a new
measurement, press "ON-ZERO" until the display resets to zero.
