First use

• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Remove the protective film from the display 3. The transport restraint that prevents the weighing platform 1 from being pushed down must be removed from under weighing platform 1.
• Open battery compartment 2 on the underside of the scale and remove the small plastic strip from between the batteries and the contacts, then close battery compartment 2 so that the battery compartment cover clicks into place.
• The scales can display weights in g (grams) and kg (kilograms) or in oz (ounces) and lb (pounds). Press the UNIT button 8 to change the weight unit. The examples in these instructions always use the unit g (grams).

Setting up
Place the scales on a level, firm surface. Correct measurement requires a firm base, as the weight sensors are installed in the 4 silicone feet.

NOTE
This appliance is provided with non-slip silicone feet. Furniture surfaces may be made of a variety of materials and are treated with many different types of cleaning agents. Therefore, it is not possible to entirely exclude the pos-sibility that some of these materials contain substances that could corrode and soften the appliance’s silicone feet. If need be, place an anti-slip mat under the silicone feet of the appliance.

Operation

Weighing items

1. Press the ON/OFF button 9 to switch on the scales. The start display appears briefly, then “0 g” is shown automatically.
   CAUTION
   Excess or incorrect loads will cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

Displaying nutritional and energy values

1. Place the food on the weighing platform 1.
2. Look up the appropriate code for the food to be weighed from the food list provided at the end of these instructions.
3. Enter the 3-digit code using the number button 4, e.g. 024. All nutritional and energy values of the respective food appear on the nutritional/energy value displays 13.

• KCAL: kilocalories
• KJ: kilojoules
• FAT: fat
• CARB: carbohydrates
• PROT: protein
• CHOL: cholesterol
• BE: bread units
