Weight unit
Your scales allows you to use the metric measurement system (grams/kilograms)
OR the imperial system (pounds/ounces). Choose the measurement system by
pressing the small pushbutton situated on the rear side of the appliance when
the appliance is switched on. The default measurement unit is “grams”. If you
press the button, the measurement unit will be “pounds”. Measurement unit
“ounce” will be activated if the button is pressed once more. Then measurement
unit “kilogram” will be activated if the button is pressed once more.
USE
- Put the scales on an even and hard surface, for instance a table.
- Avoid soft surfaces.
Normal weighing
- Press the “ON/OFF” key lightly with your finger. The scales will turn on and the LCD display will show “HELO” for a few seconds and then “0” g, “0.000” lb, “0.00” oz or “0.000” kg.
- Put the object you want to weigh on the kitchen scale. The stabilized weight is displayed.
- Remove the object from the kitchen scale.
- The scale turns off automatically after about 45 seconds. You can also switch the scale off anytime by keeping the “ON/OFF/TARE” key pressed for two seconds.
Tare function
With the tare function you can measure only the content of a container without
measuring the weight of the container itself.
- Press the “ON/OFF” key lightly with your finger. The scales will turn on and the LCD display will show “HELO” for a few seconds and then “0” g, “0.000” lb, “0.00” oz or “0.000” kg.
- Put the empty container (for instance a bowl) on the weighing platform. The stabilized weight is displayed.
- Press the “TARE” key to reset the weight to “0”. The weight of the container will now be displayed as zero, even though it remains on the weighing platform.
- Add the ingredients into the container and read the weight when the display is stable. Only the weight of the ingredients in the container will be displayed.
- If you have to weigh/add several ingredients one after another in the same container, you can also use the tare function and in this way you will each time get the exact weight of the ingredient you have added.
- The scale turns off automatically if there is no action within 45 seconds. You can also switch the scale off anytime by keeping the “ON/OFF/TARE” key pressed for two seconds.
Overload indicator
If the symbol appears on the LCD screen, it means that the maximum weight
accepted by your scales is exceeded, please remove the object from the
weighing platform in order not to damage your scales.

If the symbol is displayed on the LCD screen, it means that the battery of
your scales should be replaced (see paragraph Before the first use).
