Thank you for purchasing this high-quality product made by ADE. You have acquired a
set of scales that meet the highest technical standards and are of proven quality.
Please read these operating instructions carefully before using the product for the first
time and keep them in a safe place where you can find them whenever you need the
information contained in the instructions.
1.
Putting into service
Insert batteries:
Open the lid of the battery compartment on the bottom of the scales and insert the three
supplied 1.5 V AAA batteries. Please observe the correct polarity of the batteries (+/-).
To replace the batteries open the lid of the battery compartment. Move the battery at the
recess downwards. In this way, the batteries will be easy to take out. Make sure that you
do not bend the contact. Insert the new batteries and close the lid of the battery
compartment.
Safety information:
Ensure that no objects fall onto the scales; otherwise, the scales
may be damaged.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the scales. Never use solvents
or abrasive cleaners. Do not put the scales under water. You
must clean all the plastic parts of the scales immediately after
they come into contact with grease, spices, vinegar or any other
strongly spiced or coloured foods. Avoid any contact with citric
acid.
2. Handling
Switch-on the scale:
Place the scales on a firm, level base. To switch on, press the Tare-button right beside
the display. The backlighting comes on and the display initially shows at first the
characters “88888”. After the scales have stabilised, they display "0 g", "0.000 kg",
"0.000 lb" or "0.00 oz", depending on the setting. The scales are now ready to weigh.
Units of weight:
Pressing the Unit-button left beside the display allows you to change country-specific
units of weight (g = grams / kg = kilograms / lb = pound / oz = ounces). Please ensure
that the scales are set to the appropriate units of weight for you.
Tare-func tion:
Pressing the Tare-button allows you to set the scales to "0 g" (indication: tare-icon -o-).
Place a bowl, for example, on the platform of the scales, press the Tare-button and in this
way set the scales back to "0 g". You can repeat this procedure as often as you like until
the total capacity of the scales (5 kg) has been reached. After you remove the item(s) to
be weighed, the total weight is displayed as a minus value (indication: minus-icon
–
).
Automatic- / manua l switch-off the scale:
If the indicated weight does not change within approx. two minutes, the scales will
automatically switch-off. To save the batteries you can also manually switch-off the scales
by pressing the Tare-button for approximately two seconds after you have finished using
them.
