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.
While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale platform. Turn the
scale on. The display will show “
88888
” then zero. The weight of the container
has been zeroed out.
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, to
measure ½ lb rice and ½ lb beans together, place the rice into the bowl. Once
the correct amount of rice is weighed, press the “
ZERO/
” button until the
display resets to zero. Add ½ lb 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, simply press the “
ZERO/
” button again. The scale
will reset to zero.
Your Taylor® scale is equipped with a backlight feature for easy viewing. While
the scale is on, press and hold the “
ZERO/
” button for 3 seconds to activate the
backlight. The backlight will activate for 5 seconds when a button is pushed, or
when weight is added or removed from the platform. Press and hold “
ZERO/
” for
3 seconds to deactivate the backlight.
