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 turn on and then 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 you wish to
weigh 1 oz apple and 1 oz banana, place the apple on the scale/in the bowl. Once the correct
amount of apple is weighed, press " /TARE" until the display is reset to zero. Add the 1 oz of
banana. Both items 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
" /TARE" until the display 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. DO NOT immerse the electronic scale in water or wash
in a dishwasher.
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 6 lb 9 oz x 0.01 oz / 3000 g x 0.5 g. To prevent
damage, do not place more than 6 lb 9 oz / 3000 g 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.
7. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. In order to prevent run down of the
battery, do not store anything on the scale.
8. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the battery if the
scale will not be used for a long period of time.
9. Unstable Warning: Should "UNSt" appear on the display, this indicates the scale is unstable.
Place the scale on a hard, level surface during use.
10. Overload Warning: Should "O-Ld" appear on the display during a weighing, this indicates
that the maximum weighing capacity of the scale has been exceeded. Remove the weight
immediately; otherwise, permanent damage could occur.
