Thank you for deciding to purchase this high-quality product from the WAAGEN-
SCHMITT Company. You have purchased a set of scales of the highest technical
standard and proven quality.
Please read through this operating manual carefully before starting-up the scales for the
first time, and keep it in a safe place so that this information is available to you when you
need it.
1. Start-up
Inserting the battery: Open the battery compartment cover on the underside of the
scales and insert the provided batteries (3 x 1.5V AAA). Please be mindful of the correct
polarity of the batteries (+/-).
Safety information:
Please take care not to let any objects fall onto the scales,
otherwise the scales could be damaged.
Only clean the scales with a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents
or abrasive cleaning products. Do not immerse in water. All
plastic parts of the scales should be cleaned immediately after
contact with fat, spices, vinegar and other strongly seasoned and
coloured foodstuffs. Avoid contact with citric acid.
2. Operation
Activating the sca les: Place the scales on an even and firm surface. The scales make
use of highly sensitive sensor buttons (Sensor Touch). To activate the scales, press the
ON/OFF button to the right of the display. The backlight will turn on and "18:8.8.8.8g"
will initially appear on the display. After the scales have stabilised, either "0 g" or "0.00
oz" (depending on the settings) will appear on the display. The scales are now ready for
weighing, and you can read off the weight either from the analogue or from the digital
display. Please note: If a weight-value is shown after activation, touch the TARE button
to set the scales to zero.
Units of weight: By pressing the g/oz button on the underside of the scales, you can
change the country-specific unit of weight (g = grams / oz = ounces). Please make sure
that the scales are set to the weight-unit relevant to you.
Zeroing (tare) function: By touching the TARE button you can set the scales to "0 g".
Place, for example, a bowl on the weighing platform, press the TARE button and thus set
the scales to "0 g" again. This process can be repeated as often as you like until the total
capacity of the scales (5 kg) is reached. After removing the weighed item the total weight
will be displayed as a negative value (Indicator: Minus symbol –).

Automatic deactivation of scales: If the displayed weight does not change within approx.
30 seconds, the scales automatically deactivate. In order to conserve battery life, you can
also deactivate the scales manually after use by pressing the ON/OFF button.
