WEIGHING Place the scale on a stable, level surface. If using a bowl or container in which to weigh items, place it on the weighing surface before turning it on. Press the ON/ZERO button once. The L.C.D. digital display will show ‘8888 7.8’ then ‘0’. Place the item to be weighed either in the bowl or container, or directly onto the weighing surface. The weight of the item will now appear on the display. NOTE: The maximum weighing capacity of the scale is effectively reduced by the weight of any bowl or container used. ADD ’N WEIGH (TARE FEATURE) This feature allows you to weigh multiple ingredients in a single container or to weigh substances, such as liquids, that need to be confined. TARE means to deduct the weight of a container from the total weight of an ingredient and the container in which it is placed. EXAMPLE: In baking, recipes frequently call for specific weights of ingredients such as sugar and butter. To weigh these items using your Cuisinart® Precision Electronic Scale, do the following: 1. Place your scale on a stable, level surface. 2. Press the ON/ZERO button. Wait until (0) appears on the display. 3. Place an empty bowl to hold the ingredients on the scale. 4. Zero out the weight of the empty bowl by pressing the ON/ZERO button. Wait until (0) appears on the scale. This will ensure that the weight of the empty bowl is subtracted from the total weight of the bowl and ingredients. 5. You are now ready to weigh your first ingredient. Place sugar into the bowl until the desired weight appears on the display. 6. Zero out the weight of the sugar by pressing the ON/ZERO button. Wait until (0) appears on the display. 7. You are now ready to weigh the next ingredient. Place butter into the bowl until the desired weight appears on the display.s The same steps can be repeated for many ingredients. By following these simple weighing instructions, you will use the precise amount of each ingredient called for by your recipe and be well on your way to achieving consistently outstanding cooking results every time. NOTE: The total weight of all objects on the scale may exceed the maximum capacity of the scale (11 lbs or 5 kgs). ‘Err’ will appear on the L.C.D. digital readout if this occurs.
