HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE
Designed and engineered with state-of-the-art technology and components, this instrument will provide reliable weight and volume measurements of different ingredients for baking and cooking.
INITIAL SETUP and CALIBRATION
- The unit comes with a battery. For the first installation, pull out the insulation sheet from the battery cover to turn on the unit.
- Place the cup on a flat surface and press the [0] button to turn on the unit. To ensure accurate measurement, you are suggested to check the weight of an empty cup every time you first turn on the unit. It should read 0 grams (or oz) for your empty cup.
- Calibration for the cup is needed ONLY when the reading of your EMPTY cup is higher than zero (gram, oz, cups, fl oz, or ml). The calibration process will reset the reading to zero for the empty cup.
To calibrate:
- make sure the cup is empty. Clean the unit with a dry cloth to remove any excess liquid from the cup.
- Turn on the unit with a single press of the [0] button.
- Make sure the cup is placed steadily on a flat surface. Hold [0] for 6 seconds until “CAL” flashes. Do not touch or move the cup when “CAL” is flashing.
The display reading will show “0” and the calibration is completed
Weight Measurement
- select “SCALE” display mode by pressing the [m] button repeatedly until the arrow icon is pointing to “Scale”
- Press [u] to change the weight unit between gram or oz if needed
- place the ingredients into the cup
- place the cup on a flat table to display the reading. Once reading is shown, you may also hold the cup on hand for easy viewing
Volume Measurement
- select the ingredient between water, milk, oil, sugar, or flour by pressing the [m] button repeatedly
- Press [u] to change to the desired unit if needed
- place the ingredients into the cup
- place the cup on a flat table to display the reading. Once reading is shown, you may also hold the cup on hand for easy viewing
The display resolution of “LBS OZ” is 1/8 OZ. If finer resolution and higher accuracy are required, please select Gram for the measurement and convert back to LBS OZ if needed.
NOTE: The volume measurement is converted from the weight & the pre-set density of the ingredient by the processor in the cup. There are different types of milk, oil, sugar, or flour in the market. Different types, brands & origins of the same ingredient have different densities. For this reason, some variation in the volume measurement will occur depending on the type of ingredients you are using. The volume reading provided by the cup can only be used as an approximate value.
The density and type of ingredients being used in the cup are shown below.
Tare Function
It is easy and convenient to build up & mix different ingredients together 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 the first ingredient on a flat table
- and singly press the [0] 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 measured. Continue the above procedure to build up different ingredients for your recipe.
Reversing the Tare Function
- Right after the tare function has been performed and the display is showing a “0” reading with the “TARE” icon appearing, you can press the [0] button to resume the original weight or volume reading just before the tare function and the “TARE” icon will disappear.
- The reverse tare function and reversing tare function only operate when the cup is placed on a flat surface.
- Hold the [0] button for 3 seconds to turn off the unit.
- The unit turns off automatically after 5 minutes in idle state.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- It is easy and convenient to mix different ingredients in the cup. However, when mixing your ingredients, you should avoid pressing down the bottom of the base where the sensitive weight scale components are located. Excessive force applied to the base of the cup may permanently damage the scale inside and provide inaccurate readings.
- The transparent cup can withstand up to a maximum 70OC of food or liquid
FAULT MESSAGE DISPLAY
- Unstable (UnST)
The scale is unstable and the unit will turn off automatically. Place the cup on a flat table and turn on the unit again by pressing the [0] button once. - Error (Err)
The scale is overloaded. The weight or volume in the cup exceeds the maximum display range.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
- Only clean the inside of the transparent cup with cold or warm water together with optional mild cleaning detergent. Do not use hot water to clean the transparent cup as it can withstand up to 70oC maximum.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the transparent cup, handle, and base.
- Never immerse the cup in water or put into the washing machine for cleaning
- If for example you accidentally drop the cup into a tank of water or you clean the handle under tap water for a long time and water gets inside the handle, let water drain from the four rectangular holes located on the base of the unit. The water or mist residue inside the handle is not harmful to the unit and does not affect the operation and performance of
the unit. Place the cup in an environment with good air ventilation and let it dry. - To extend the product life span, remove any food or liquid from the cup when it is not in use so that it is not loaded with weight
- After cleaning, place the cup in a location with good air ventilation
BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
Low battery indication is available.
