POWER SOURCE

• Included in the package of this scale are 2x 1.5 V alkaline batteries, type AAA. The batteries are already installed in the battery compartment located at the bottom of the scale, however, they are  protected by insulating tape during transport to prevent them from discharging before delivery to the end consumer and damaging the appliance. To use the scale, remove the insulation tape.
• As soon as the LCD display shows “LO”, both batteries need to be replaced with new ones.
• Remove the battery compartment cover and remove the discharged batteries. Insert new batteries of the same type. Observe the correct polarity, which is shown on the bottom of the battery compartment, and fit the cover.

SELECTION OF MODE AND UNITS OF WEIGHT AND VOLUME

• Press the UNIT button repeatedly to select the desired weighing mode (in grams)/water volume measurement (in ml)/milk volume measurement (in ml). The setting of the mode and the selection of the unit are indicated by the display of the corresponding icons.

USING THE SCALE

• Place the scale on a flat and stable surface.
• Press the button briefly to switch the scale on. Wait until “0” is shown on the display.
• Place the ingredients to be weighed / volume measured in the centre of the area. The weight/volume of the weighed ingredient will be displayed on the display.

Note:
If you will be weighing ingredients in a bowl, press the / TARA button to reset the weight of the bowl/pot on the scale.

TARA FUNCTION

• The TARA function is used when you want to gradually weigh several foods in one container without removing the container from the scale. This function will automatically subtract the weight of the container from the total weight of the food.
• Place the empty container on the scale. Its weight and  symbol  are shown on the display. Pressing /TARA will reset the value to zero. The symbol remains lit.
• Put the first food into the container. The display will show its weight. Pressing the /TARA button will reset the value and the symbol lights up. The weight of the first food is stored in the memory and the scale is ready for further weighing.
• Put the second food in the container. The display will show its weight. Press the /TARA to display the sum of the weight of the first and second food. Pressing /TARA again saves the sum to memory and resets the display to zero. The symbol remains lit.
• Add more food in the same way up to the maximum weight capacity (10 000 g).
• Once you remove the food container from the scale, a negative value will appear on the display.

TURNING OFF

• If the scale remains idle for several minutes, it will automatically switch off.

ERROR MESSAGES

chapter “Power source”.
Err| You have exceeded the maximum weighing capacity of the scale. Remove the ingredients from the area of the scale so as not to damage it.

LINKING THE SCALE AND THE SMART DEVICE

• The scale is equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, which in conjunction with the free Sencor FOOD app installed on your smart device offers direct access to a rich and regularly updated database of foods and their nutritional values.
• The Sencor FOOD app was developed in collaboration with the creators of the Calorie Tables / Dine4Fit app and is designed for smartphones running iOS (version 13 and above) or Android (version 5 and above). When using the app, the phone must be connected to the internet.https://www.sencor.com/apps/food
• The connection of the scale to the phone takes place automatically after starting the application. To pair, it is sufficient for the Bluetooth function to be turned on on the smart device. If the app does not find the scale, it will actively prompt you to try to reconnect the scale.
• When the scale is paired with the application, the Bluetooth icon is lit on the display. When the scale is not paired with the app or the connection has been broken, the Bluetooth icon will be extinguished.

Note:
The scale can only connect to one mobile device at a time. If you have problems with pairing, make sure that there is no other device within reach that is actually actively connected to the scale.

The app offers two weighing modes:

1. “On the Scale” Mode
   Displays the weight of the currently weighed item. After you tell the scale what food you weigh using the “Search Food” field, it will display the nutritional values of the food in relation to the current weight.

2. “List” Mode
   It allows you to determine the aggregate nutritional value of more food. This mode is useful, for example, when preparing a dish according to a recipe. Gradually add the food to the scale, using the “Search Food” field to enter what food it is. Once you have determined the weight and type of food, use the “+ Add food to list” button to add it to the total nutritional sum. Use the /TARA button on the scale for adding to weight as needed during weighing. The scale continuously shows the total weight of the ingredients and calculates the weights of the individual nutritional components (for example, how many grams of carbohydrates the weighed food contains in total) throughout the weighing in the “List” mode.

Entering/Searching for a Weighed Food
You can find a summary of the nutritional values of a weighed food by entering the name of the food in the “Search Food” status bar. Click on the status bar and the cursor and keyboard will appear. Enter the name of the food or a keyword, the application will search for the relevant food or a list of foods with a keyword, and selecting a food will display its nutritional values.
You can find the nutritional summary more quickly, practically and accurately by scanning a unique EAN barcode from the food packaging. Click on the barcode icon to the right of the “Search Food” status bar and scan the barcode. A summary of nutritional values is displayed.
Note:
If you didn’t allow the app to use the camera and video recording feature when you installed the app (or when adjusting the settings), enable the feature. Otherwise it will not be possible to scan the barcodes.
Note:
The SENCOR FOOD app is linked to the Calorie Tables app. At the end of the weighing, you can enter your food into your diet in the Calorie Tables with one click and keep a long-term overview of your food intake (ATTENTION: Some advanced features of the Calorie Tables app may be subject to a fee).

Possible Problems with the App and Their Solutions
