Precautions for use
F
Always weigh yourself on a hard, flat floor. Do not weigh yourself on a carpet or rug.
To be fully satisfied with this appliance, measuring and weighing must always be conducted under the same conditions:
–Always weigh yourself in bare feet (direct contact with the skin). Your feet must be dry and properly positioned on the electrodes (see page 2). Beware that if your feet have too much hard skin the measurement may be affected.
–preferably once a week first thing in the morning (so as not to be affected by the weight fluctuations during the day related to the meals, digestion and physical activity of the individual)
–1/4 of an hour after waking up, so that the water
in your body is distributed in the lower limbs.
It is also important to ensure that there is no contact between the legs (thighs, knees, calves) or between the feet. If necessary, slip a sheet of paper between your legs.
