for use. If the display does not show zero, press the “tare” button. The scale will reset (tare) to zero.

3. Your scale weighs in pounds/ounces (lb oz). To switch to grams (g), press the “UNIT” button to

change the units of measurement.

4. Place the item to be weighed on the center of the platform. The weight will display. As you add

5. The scale will turn off automatically after approximately 1 minute of non-use or if there is no change

in weight in approximately 3 minutes. To turn the scale off manually, press and hold the “ ” button

until the scale turns off.

TARE OPERATION

You may wish to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container (not included). In this case, you will need

to tare, or offset, the weight of the bowl so that only the weight of the ingredients is displayed.

1. Choose a container that will safely balance on the platform without tipping or falling. Do not use a

heavy container, as this might reduce the maximum capacity of the scale.

2. While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale platform. Turn the scale on. The

display will turn on and then show zero. The weight of the container has been zeroed out.

3. Add the ingredient to be weighed. The weight of the ingredient alone will display.

4. The weight of additional ingredients may be tared out as well. For example, if a recipe calls for 8oz

of rice and 8oz of beans, place the rice into the bowl. Once the correct amount of rice is weighed,
