Introduction, Safety Measures, Prior to First USE

INTRODUCTION

To get the best out of your new apparatus, please read this user guide carefully before using it for the first time. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of your apparatus.

SAFETY MEASURES

•Incorrect use of the appliance may damage it.

•Use for its intended purpose only. The manufacturer is not responsible for any injury or damage resulting from incorrect use or handling (see also Guarantee Terms).

•For domestic use only. Not for commercial use.

•Do not place the appliance on a carpeted or uneven surface, and do not place it close to electrical appliances, since their radiation may cause the appliance not to function properly.

•Do not place or store near powerful heat sources or in a damp environment.

•Do not store other objects on top of the appliance.

•Do not immerse in water or allowed to get wet.

•Do not expose to direct sunlight for long periods.

•Remove the batteries if the appliance is not to be used for a prolonged period.

•Do not attempt to weigh objects which exceed the appliance's maximum capacity of 5 kg.

•If the appliance has been damaged, it should be inspected and if necessary repaired by an authorised repair engineer. Please contact the store where you bought the appliance for repairs under guarantee. Unauthorised repairs or modifications to the appliance will invalidate the guarantee.

KEY TO MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE APPARATUS

1.Weighing platform

2.Display

3.UNIT button (unit of measurement)

4.”ON/TARE” button (ON/TARE)

5.Rubber feet (4 of) with sensors

6.Lock tab

7.Battery cover

8.Battery compartment

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

•Press the lock tab (6) to remove the battery cover (7) on the underside of the appliance.

•Insert 2 x 3 volt batteries, type CR-2032, in the battery compartment (8).

o Make sure that the batteries are correctly inserted, since incorrectly inserted batteries may damage the appliance! See diagram on battery cover.

o Press the batteries firmly into place.

•Replace the cover.

USE

•Place the appliance on a level surface.

•Switch the appliance on by pressing the “ON/OFF” button (4). Wait until the a unit of measure and one or more digits are shown on the display (2).

•Choose the desired unit of measurement by pressing the UNIT button (3). There are four units of measurements available:

o g (grams)

o kg (kilograms) o oz (ounces)

o lb/oz (pounds/ounces)

•Place the object you wish to weigh on the weighing platform (1).

•Wait until the display is stable, and read the weight on the display.

•Use the tare function of the appliance to weigh several consecutive objects in the following manner:

1.Place the first object (for example, a bowl) on the weighing platform (1). If desired, note the weight of the object before proceeding.

2.Press the "ON/TARE" button once to reset the weight. The weight of the first object will now be displayed as zero, even though it remains on the weighing platform.

3.Place the next object on the weighing platform (e.g. by pouring an ingredient into the bowl) and read the weight when the display is stable. Only the weight of the ingredients in the bowl will be displayed.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 as required, if you wish to add more ingredients.

•The appliance automatically switches off after approx. 1 second with no activity.

NOTE:

•If you try to weigh something heavier than the appliance can bear (more than 5 kg), the display will show “O-ld” (Overload).

•If you wish to move the appliance, you should turn it off before moving. Do not switch it on again until it is placed correctly on an even surface in order for it to calibrate correctly. The sensors in the rubber feet only function properly when resting on a level surface.
