Operation

• Set the product on a solid, level, and flat surface to weigh.

Weighing

Note: Always place the object you wish to weigh gently onto the weighing surface 1  to avoid damaging the glass surface.

• To activate the product, you may directly put a load (e.g. food container) with a minimum of 250 g onto the weighing surface. Pressing onto the weighing surface with a certain force is also possible to activate the product. You can always press the button TARE 3  at any time to set the zero point.
• Place the item you wish to weigh onto the product. The numerical display 7 will show the weight of the item you are weighing.

Incremental weighing

• Touching the button TARE 3 with the product on will change the numerical display 7 from the reading to “0“. The “T“ symbol will appear.

Note: A slight touch of the button TARE  and the button UNIT  is sufficient to operate the product. If there is too much pressure, the product may cause tilting.

• Now add another item to weigh onto the product. The numerical display will show the weight of the newly added item.
• If you remove the item added to the product, the numerical display will again read “0“.
• If you remove all items from the product, the LC  display will show a negative value indicated by the minus symbol.
• Then briefly touch the button TARE, and the “T“ symbol will disappear.
  Important! Be sure never to add more than 5 kg to the weighing surface. Overloading the product can damage it.

Changing the measuring unit

The product will display the weight in the official European measuring unit “g“ (grams), as well as the traditional unit of weight “oz“ (ounce, 1 oz ≈ 28.35 g) or “blog “ (pound: ounce, 1lb = 16 oz ≈ 453.59 g). When measuring the volume of water, the product calculates it by the weight using the official European unit of volume “ml“ (milliliters), or the traditional unit of measure flow (fluid ounces, 1fl’oz ≈ 28.41 ml). To switch the unit of measure, briefly touch the UNIT button 4. After each time it is touched, the unit  display 8 will switch to the next unit listed:

• g → oz → lb’oz → ml → fl’oz

Switching off

• Holding the button TARE  for approx. 3 seconds will off the product. If no movement is detected on the weighing surface for 3 minutes and no button is pressed, the product will automatically switch off.
