SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Keep electrical equipment out of reach of children Never allow children to use electrical devices unattended. Keep plastic packaging out of the reach of children. There is a risk of suffocation. Ambient conditions Keep the scale away from extreme electromagnetic influences, such as radio equipment, as this could have an impact on the display values. If the scale malfunctions, it may be necessary to restart it. Do not overfill the scale. Do not place anything weighing over 5,000 g (5 kg, 11 lb, 176 oz) on the scales because this could damage the measuring unit. Do not subject the appliance to vibrations, heavy impacts, dust, extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, rain or high humidity, since this could cause malfunctions, shortened life, battery damage and defective components. Never open the appliance as this would render the guarantee null and void and could also cause battery damage and defective components. Place the appliance on a level surface before using it. Handling batteries properly Improper use of battery may lead to explosion. Replace the batteries with the same or equivalent type only. Batteries may endanger life if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. Before inserting the batteries, check whether the contacts in the device and batteries are clean and, if necessary, clean them. Only use new batteries. Always change the complete set of batteries. Never combine battery types. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Never try to recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of explosion! Never expose batteries to heat sources (e.g. radiators) or direct sunlight. There is an increased risk of leakage! 6
Never short-circuit the batteries. Never throw batteries into a fire. Do not disassemble or deform batteries. If the scales are not going to be used for long periods, remove the batteries. Remove leaking batteries from the device immediately. If battery acid leaks out it is essential to avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes! If the acid does come into contact with skin, immediately rinse the affected areas with plenty of clear water and consult a doctor immediately. There is a risk of acid poisoning and acid burns! Remove exhausted rechargeable batteries from the appliance immediately! There is an increased risk of leakage. Packaging Your kitchen scale is wrapped in packaging to protect it against transportation damage. Packaging is raw material and can be reused or recycled. 7
FIRST OPERATION Inserting/changing the battery Open the battery compartment lid on the underside of the appliance by pushing the clip into the direction of the arrow (1). Install a 9 volt PP3 (6LR61) battery. To do this, connect the +/- terminals of the battery (2) with the +/- terminals in the battery compartment (3). The contacts must firmly snap in place. Close the battery compartment lid (4). NOTE: Empty batteries are special waste. Take your empty batteries to a recycling location. If your scale will not be used for a longer period of time, remove the battery from the battery compartment to prevent battery leakage. If battery fluid has leaked out, put the battery in the special waste and carefully clean the battery compartment with a paper towel. Make sure that you do not touch the battery fluid. Thoroughly wash your hands if you touch battery acid and do not touch your eyes! 8
OPERATION The display 1. Zero weight indicator. 2. Minus value. 3. TARE indicator 4. Measured value 5. Weight unit "lb" (pounds) 6. Weight unit "oz" (ounce) 7. Weight unit "g" (grams) 8. Weight unit "kg" (kilograms) Weighing and selecting the measuring unit 1. Switch on the scale by pressing the "ON/OFF" button. For a few seconds, the display will show all symbols. 2. Wait until the display shows the zero weight. 3. If you would like to select another measuring unit, press the button "UNIT". The following zero weights appear: 0lb: 0.00oz: pounds and ounces 0.00oz: ounces 0g: grams 0.000kg: kilograms 4. Now place the object to be weighed on the scale (the scale displays the weights in 1 gram intervals or in 0.05 oz intervals, respectively). 5. Read the displayed value in the selected weight unit. The scales will set themselves to 0g in the case of a weight below 200g. Selecting the weighing unit Press the button "UNIT" to select between the measuring units. 9
Using the calibration function If you plan to weigh the goods in a container, place the container on the scale before switching it on. You can also "delete" the container weight by pressing the "RESET" button. The display shows the zero weight. Weighing additional items Proceed as described under 'Weighing'. 1. Place the first item to be weighed on the scale and read the display. 2. Press the "RESET" button: the display shows the zero weight. 3. Add the next item to be weighed. The scale shows the weight of this item alone. 4. Press the "RESET" button: the display shows the total weight of all items. 5. Press the "RESET" button again: the display shows the zero weight. 6. Add the next item to be weighed. These steps step can be repeated until the maximum weight is reached. The scales will set themselves to the TARE function automatically in the case of a weight above 200g. Overfill The scale has a 5,000 g (11 lb) capacity. If this weight is exceeded, " " will appear in the display. Battery indication If the battery indication " " appears in the display, the battery must be replaced. Please note: Only dispose of batteries in the special waste! Do not place in the normal household waste. 10
Switching off You can switch off the scale using the "ON/OFF" button. If you forget to do so, the appliance will switch off automatically after approx. 2 minutes to save power.cleaning AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Only clean the scale using a damp cloth. Do not use additional cleaning agents or abrasive pads. The mixing bowl can be washed in the dishwasher. Maintenance Remove the battery if you do not need the scale for a longer period of time. Protect the kitchen scale from dust and high humidity. Do not subject the kitchen scale to direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations. Do not drop the appliance and protect it from vibrations and heavy impacts. Disposal PACKAGING Your scales are wrapped in packaging to protect them against transportation damage. Packaging is raw material and can be reused or added to the recycling system. DEVICE At the end of their useful life, the scales should not be disposed of with the household rubbish. Seek the advice of your local authority on correct, environmentally friendly disposal. BATTERIES Do not dispose off used batteries in the household rubbish. Batteries should be deposited at a collection point for used batteries. 11
