Tare Operation
You may wish to weigh ingredients in 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 the "ON/OFF/TARE" button. A running zeros pattern (0000)
shows, then 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 the
"ON/OFF/TARE" button. A running zeros pattern (0000) shows, then
the scale resets to zero.
Precautions
1. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove
stains, use a mild soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated
cloths, harsh cleaning agents, or sprays. Avoid contact with acids,
such as citrus juices.
2. Do not tamper with the scale's internal components. Doing so will
invalidate the warranty on this unit and may cause damage. The
scale contains no user-serviceable parts
3. Although your scale is designed to be maintenance-free, it contains
sensitive electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Treat it with care
to ensure the best performance.
4. This scale is intended for home/consumer use only. It is not intended
for commercial or medical use.
5. This scale is designed to read weights up to 11 lbs/5 kgs. To prevent
damage, do not place more than 11 lbs/5 kgs on it.
6. Do not store scale where you store cleaning chemicals. The
vapors from some household products may affect the electronic
components of your scale. Do not store scale on its side.
