During the counting, press the [M] button and [PCS] button to switch between the weight and pieces, so you can get the weight and quantity at the same time.
Caution: Before the counting work, make sure you have placed the items onto the panel or that you have chosen the sample count and then put the items.
[M] Calibration
Calibration is NOT required before first use. You only need to calibrate if the scale is not weighing properly. You need a fixed weight for calibration.
Turn on the scale. Press and hold the [ M ] button for a few seconds – the display will show the default calibration weight or the previous record.
If you do not have the same calibration weight, press the [M] button again to choose the other calibration weight options. There are several weight options to choose from: ‘500.00’, ‘400.00’, ‘300.00’, ‘200.00’, ‘100.00’ & ‘50.00’. Select the fixed calibration weight that you have.
After confirming the calibration weight, press the [ O ] button and it will show ‘CAL’. The required calibration weight will be flashing.
Place the required calibration weight onto the panel and press the [ O ] button. The LCD screen will show ‘PASS’, calibration is now completed. Remove the calibration weight to use the scale.
Please try to use the maximum calibration weight to ensure higher accuracy of the scale.

Troubleshooting

The primary reasons for inaccuracy or malfunction are low battery, incorrect calibration, overload, or operating on an unstable surface. This scale is a sensitive instrument and should be handled with the utmost care and caution.
Error Code:
[DISPLAY] – Elimination of errors
[OUT2] – Calibration again
[EEEE] – Immediately remove overweight items to avoid causing damage to your scale
[UN2T] – Use the scale in a more stable position
[LO] – Low voltage, please replace with new batteries

The next step is to achieve both evenly distributed and firmly tamped coffee in your filter basket – the Tamp does both tasks easily and consistently in an ergonomic way.

Specifications:
• Base Diameter: 53.3mm, fits 54mm Portafilter
• Product Height: 35mm (default)
• Product Weight: 530g
• Colour: Black Sesame
• Material: Solid Food 304 Stainless Steel
Functions:
• Dual Usage, Leveller/ Distributor, and Tamper
• Adjustable Height, up to 6 MM max
• Heavy Weight for easy leveling & tamping
• Consistent Level & Tamp due to height adjustment
• Easy to Clean
• Anti-Rust Design
Operation:
[ADJUST]:
a. Adjust the leveller to the depth that you require.
b. Twist the two black rings in an anti-clockwise direction to unlock the Tamp for adjustment (Fig. 1.0).
c. Once the Tamp is unlocked, you can adjust both sides, leveler & tamper to your desired height.
d. Twist the leveler/tamper anti-clockwise to increase the height, and clockwise to decrease the height (Fig. 1.1).
e. Upon adjustment to the desired height, twist the two black rings in a clockwise direction to lock back the Tamp.

[APPLY]:
a. After the coffee is a grind to your portafilter, start by placing the leveler (Fig 2.0) facing down towards the portafilter.
b. Do not apply strength. Instead let the Tamp’s weight sits in by itself. Slowly twist the Tamp clockwise to allow it to start leveling and distribute the coffee evenly in the
portafilter.
c. Remove the leveller from the portafilter. If the coffee bed sits level & even on the portafilter, proceed to start tamping. If not, further increase the height of the leveller.
d. Flip the Tamp to the tamper side and place the tamper (Fig 2.0) facing down towards the portafilter.
e. Use both hands and compress the Tamp to the portafilter. Compress the coffee bed until the ring ledge (Fig 2.1) touches your portafilter.
f. The height of your tamper plays a very important role here. Do make further adjustments to your tamper’s height until you achieve the right amount of tamping with the ring ledge touching the portafilter every time.
