Operation:
1. First, set the scale to zero. On a mechanical scale, it is to set the dial indicator to the zero mark through turning a knob. While balance scales will need the pointer set to the dead center mark. Refer to the user´s manual that is written elaborately about you your digital scale on how to calibrate the scale to zero, as the calibration setup of each manufacturer may be different.
2. Second, weigh the container before you use it to weigh food. If required, you can record the weight of the container somewhere you can see it easily so that you do not have to weigh it again.
3. Third, measure the food needed to be cooked for an uncooked weight. What your diet calls for the rice as a serving, that is the weight you get before cooking it.
4. Fourth, use the scale to measure by weight for baking and other types of cooking instead of using measuring cups. This will be a better and accurate measure of ingredients.
5. Fifth, weigh and measure your ingredients for a nutritional recipe. By using several different bowls, you can have all of your ingredients ready to go when you begin cooking.
FAQ
1 Why can´t I turn on my weigh scale?
(1).Check if it contains storage battery and if it has power, if it is connected with batteries or external power supply.
(2).Check if the battery and button wires are loose.
(3).Check if the power switch is at the state of ON or OFF.
2 Why my scale has an inaccurate zero?
(1).If the flow of air is unstable, the scale faces the opening window or it is not placed on the face on the steady area, etc. (see operation manual).
(2).If there are objects producing electromagnetism interference nearby.
(3).If it has been experienced being hit or falling over.
3 Why does the battery symbol appear on my scale?
(1).Charge for the scale immediately with power cable.
(2).There may be some troubles about storage batteries or electronics components.
Notes:
1. Do not exceed the scale´s maximum capacity. Overload can permanently damage it!
2. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales perform best at normal room temperature. If the temperature changes dramatically, calibration and adjustment may be necessary.
3. Allow your scale to warm up for 30-60 seconds before calibration and adjustment (if available).
4. Store your scale in a clean and dry environment. Dust, dirt and moisture on the weighing sensors and electronics may cause inaccuracy or malfunction.
5. Avoid using your scale near strong radio wave emitting devices such as computers, cash registers, and cordless phones.
6. Keep weighing items on a flat and level surface, free from vibrations and drafts.
7. Do not drop items onto the weighing platform violently, gently treat all items.
8. Treat your scale with a friendly style.
9. Check the batteries first if there is any trouble with your scale. This simple step can remedy most scale issues.
10. Do not disassemble your scale.
11. Try not to weigh by putting the scale on a hard board instead of the carpet.
