Tare Operation (Cont.)
2. While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale
platform. Turn the scale on. The display will show 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, 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 “ON-TARE” 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 nega-
tive number when the items are removed from the scale. To reset
the scale back to zero for a new measurement, press “ON-TARE”
until the display resets to zero.
Precautions
1. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove stains, use a
mild soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh clean-
ing agents, or sprays. Avoid contact with acids, such as citrus juices.
2. Do not tamper with the scale’s internal components. Doing so will invalidate
the warranty on this unit and may cause damage. The scale contains no
