The CDN SM1101 Mechanical Scale is a kitchen measurement tool designed for accurate weighing of ingredients up to 11 pounds or 5 kilograms. It provides measurements in both pounds and grams, with a resolution of 1/8 lb or 50 g. The scale operates mechanically, eliminating the need for batteries or external power sources, making it a reliable and straightforward device for kitchen use.
The primary function of the SM1101 is general weighing. Users place the scale on a hard, flat, and steady surface to ensure accurate measurements. Before weighing, any packing materials must be removed. The scale features a tare function, which allows users to reset the display to zero after placing a container on the platform. This enables the measurement of only the item added to the container, effectively subtracting the container's weight. The tare adjustment knob, located behind the platform support on top of the base unit, is used to set the indicator to 0. This process can be repeated to measure the individual weights of multiple items added sequentially to the same container. To clear the tare, all items are removed from the platform, and the tare adjustment knob is used to return the indicator to 0. The scale's design includes a polycarbonate display and a removable platform, enhancing its usability and ease of cleaning.
The SM1101 is designed for user-friendliness and accuracy. Its mechanical operation means no batteries are required, simplifying its use. The removable platform facilitates easy cleaning and allows for the use of various containers. The tare function is a key feature, enabling precise measurement of ingredients by subtracting container weight. The scale's maximum capacity is 11 lb/5 kg, which should not be exceeded to prevent damage. For optimal accuracy, the scale should always be placed on a hard, flat, and steady surface. The indicator must point to 0 before weighing, and the tare adjustment knob allows for precise calibration. The removable bowl can be stored upside down on the platform when not in use, helping to prevent pressure on the springs that could distort measurements over time.
Maintaining the SM1101 is straightforward to ensure its longevity and accuracy. The scale platform should be cleaned before each use. The removable bowl is dishwasher safe, making cleanup easy. The scale base itself is not waterproof and should not be submerged in water. Instead, the base should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Submerging the base could trap liquid between the lens and the body, leading to damage. The scale should be stored at room temperature, between 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C), and in a position that keeps it free from any load-bearing weight. This prevents distortion of the springs over time. Abrasive or corrosive compounds should not be used for cleaning, as they may scratch the surface. The scale should be protected from excessive force, shock, dust, temperature, or humidity. Tampering with internal components is discouraged, as it will invalidate the 1-year limited warranty and may cause damage. The scale should not be exposed to direct sunlight or placed in a microwave. Always refer to the user manual for complete operating and maintenance instructions.
