KG-Series Manual 3. OPERATION 3.1. Sample Weighing 1. Press TARE / ZERO to make the balance return to zero. 2. Load the sample onto the scale pan. 3. The weight is stable when g (depending on weighing unit is active) appears on the display. NOTE: For accurate weight results, it is important to load the sample to be weighed, onto the center of the platform. 3.2. Weighing with a container Sometimes it is necessary to weigh an object (such as a liquid) using a container.
KG-Series Manual 2. Press the UNIT key until the display shows “%” to indicate percent weighing mode. 3. The display will show “100.00%” with the reference sample on the scale. You may now remove the reference sample and add the unknown sample to determine its relative weight. Press UNIT to exit. Note: The reference sample value is erased upon exiting Percent Weighing mode. 3.5.

KG-Series Manual 4.4. Care & Maintenance Please read all operating instructions carefully before use. Scales are precision instruments and should always be handled with proper care. To ensure years of reliable service, keep these simple tips in mind: • Do not exceed the scales maximum capacity. Overloading your scale can permanently damage it! • Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales perform best at normal room temperature. If temperatures have changed dramatically, recalibration may be necessary.
