Using Your Scale
Before First Use
Measurement
Switching Weight Units
Remove the plastic insulator from the battery
compartment on the bottom of the scale. [Figure 1.1]
1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface.
[Figure 2.1]
To switch between metric units (g, mL) and imperial
units (oz, lb:oz, fl’oz), turn on the scale, then press
the Mode button.
Figure 1.1
Figure 2.1

from dirt, dust, vibrations, wind, air currents, and
electromagnetic interference.

Operation (cont.)
2. Press ON/OFF to turn on the scale. Make sure
the scale shows “0”. Press Mode to select your
desired measuring unit.
a. Weight: Choose between grams (“g”),
ounces (“oz”), or both pounds and ounces
(“lb:oz”).
b. Milk / Water: Scale measures in milliliters
(“ml”) and fluid ounces (“fl’oz”).
Note:
• If you’re using the bowl or another container to
hold the items or liquid you’re measuring, first
place the empty container on the scale. Press
ZERO to tare the container’s weight (see
Zero/Tare Function, page 9).
• Milk Mode accounts for the higher density of
milk to provide a more accurate reading when
measuring milk for recipes.
Note:
• To reset the scale, remove all weight from the
platform and press ZERO.
• To conserve battery power, the scale will
automatically turn off after 2 minutes of
inactivity.
3. Place your item on the scale.
4. Wait for the weight on the display to stabilize.
5. When you are finished weighing your items,
press ON/OFF to turn off the scale.
9
Zero/Tare Function
Whenever you measure liquid or other items
inside the included bowl, you can use the zero/tare
function to remove the bowl’s weight from the final
measurement. You can also use other containers in
place of the bowl.
1. Place the scale on a flat surface, then press
ON/OFF to turn on the scale.
2. Place the bowl or container onto the weighing
surface.
3. Press ZERO. The screen will display “0” again.
[Figure 3.1]
4. Place liquid or items in the bowl. The scale will
measure the contents without including the
weight of the bowl. [Figure 3.2]
