Kitchen Scales

Use and Care Guide

Kitchen Scales

Weighing is the quickest and most accurate way to measure most dry and solid

ingredients such as sugar,  our and shortening for consistently reliable results.

With your new Cuisinart

Kitchen Scale, weighing is simple and easy. Designed

to meet all your household measuring needs, your scale will provide precise,

consistent weighing of cooking/baking ingredients for the best results. Use your

scale to weigh food portions speci ed in your dieting guides. You can even weigh

oversized letters and packages to ensure you have the right amount of postage.

The Cuisinart

Kitchen Scale is compact, light and convenient to store. Operation

and cleanup are fast and easy. It weighs in

⁄

ounce increments up to a maximum

of 11 pounds. This scale converts from ounces to grams at the touch of a button

and weighs in gram increments up to a maximum of 5 kilograms.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove any labels or clear protective  lms from the scale before

 rst use.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Your scale includes either a 3-volt lithium battery or 2 AAA

batteries. Insert batteries into the battery compartment situated

underneath the scale.

NOTE: When “Lo” appears on the display screen, the batteries

must be replaced.

WEIGHING ITEMS

1. Place the scale on a level, hard surface.*

2. Choose to weigh directly on the glass platform, or use a bowl or

glass container for sanitary food handling (see Tare Function).

3. Press the |/O button to turn the scale on. “HI”  rst appears on

the display followed by “0” g, indicating the scale is ready

for use.

4. Place the object/food item to be weighed on the platform and

read the weight on the LCD screen.

* A small “O” symbol indicates the scale is level enough for accurate

readings.

NOTES: Weights are displayed in 1 g increments. The scale will

read up to 5.2 kg, after which “O-Ld” is displayed on the screen.

This means the scale is overloaded. Do not touch any parts of the

scale with your hands while weighing is in progress. The scale is

very sensitive and may pick up extra readings.

CHANGING MODES

To change from metric (kg/g) to imperial (lbs/oz) mode at anytime

during use, press the MODE button once.

TARE FUNCTION

WEIGHING WITH A BOWL

You may want to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container.

The tare option offsets the weight of the bowl so that you are only

weighing the ingredient. If you remove the bowl from the scale, a

minus weight (weight of bowl) appears in the display.

1. Place a bowl on the scale platform.
