Weighing Operation
Tare Operation
1. Place your scale on a hard, flat surface and press the “ON/TARE” button to
turn on.
2. The display will show “-18888” and then switch to “0g” or “0.0 lb oz”
depending on measurement unit setting. The scale is now ready for use.
3. This scale has 2 units of measurement: grams and pounds/ounces. To switch
the measurement unit, press the “g/lb” button while the scale is turned on.
4. Place the item to be weighed onto the platform. The weight will display. As
you add weight, the weight displayed increases.
5. When the weight is removed, the display will return to zero. The scale will
turn off automatically after 1 minute. Press and hold the “ON/TARE” button
to turn the scale off manually.
You may wish to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container (not included).
In this case, you will need to tare, or offset, the weight of the bowl so that only
the weight of the ingredients is displayed.
1. Choose a container that will safely balance on the platform without tipping
or falling. Do not use a heavy container, as this might reduce the maximum
capacity of the scale.
2. Press the “ON/TARE” button and the display will read “0.0 lb oz”. Place the
container on the scale and press “ON/TARE” again to reset the scale to
“0.0 lb oz”.
3. Add the ingredient to be weighed. The weight of the ingredient alone will
display.
4. The weight of additional ingredients may be tared out as well. For example, if
a recipe calls for ½ lb rice and ½ lb beans, place the rice into the bowl. Once
the correct amount of rice is weighed, press the “ON/TARE” button until the
display resets to zero. Add ½ lb of beans. Both ingredients have been
accurately weighed in the same bowl. This step can be repeated until the
max load capacity (11lb/5000g) has been reached.
5. When weights have been tared out, the display will show a negative number
when the items are removed from the scale.
