To identify the nutritional contents of your foods, follow the instructions below:

a)Turn the scale on by pressing the ON button 3

b)Place your food on the weighing platform 5

c)The upper display panel 1 will prompt you to enter the food type. Use the keypad 9 to enter the first few letters of the name of the food. (For further instructions on

TIP:

ii.To find foods quickly type the most specific word to describe the food. e.g. if

searching for EDAM CHEESE; typing the word EDAM will find the food faster than typing the word CHEESE. The reason for this is that CHEESE has many variations and you will have to scroll through the CHEESE list to find CHEESE EDAM, which may be more time consuming!

NOTE: Some of the nutritional categories may appear blank if data is unavailable for that particular food.
