1. 

This scale operates on 4 “AA” batteries (not included). Always replace all 

batteries at the same time; do not combine old and new batteries. 

2.

 

Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale by sliding the 

cover in the direction of the “open” arrow and remove cover.

3.

 

Place the batteries into the battery compartment as indicated by the polarity 

symbols marked in the compartment.

4.

 

Slide the battery compartment cover back into place until it clicks shut. 

5.

 

Replace the batteries if “

LO

” appears on the display, or the readings grow 

dim or irregular.

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 “

TARE

” button until the display is 

reset to zero. Add the ½ lbs of beans. Both ingredients have been accurately 
weighed in the same bowl.

5. 

When weights have been tared out, the display will show a negative number 

when the items are removed from the scale. To reset the scale back to zero for a 
new measurement, press the “

TARE

You may wish to weigh ingredients in the included bowl or other container. 
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.

While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale platform. 

Turn the scale on. The display will show “
