Taylor 3844 Stainless Steel Digital Kitchen Scale User Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® Kitchen Scale. Your Taylor® scale is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. Please read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.

Battery Information

This scale operates on 2 – 3 volt CR2032 lithium batteries (installed). There is a strip under the battery cover to prevent batteries from draining in shipping. Please remove the strip before continuing with these instructions. Also, some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Please remove it before use.

Replace the batteries when the Low Battery icon appears on the upper left side of the display, or the readings grow dim or irregular. To replace the batteries:

1. Use two 3-volt CR2032 lithium batteries.
2. Remove the screw (or screws) from the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale and remove the cover.
3. Remove the old batteries from the compartment.
4. Place the new batteries with the “+” sign up into the battery compartment.
5.  Replace the battery compartment cover and screw(s).

NOTE:
Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations. WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children handle batteries. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the scale will not be used for a long period.

General Weighing Operation

1. Place the scale on a hard, level surface.
2. Press the “/TARE” button to turn the scale on. The display will turn on, and then show zero when it is ready for use. If the display does not show zero, press the “/TARE” button to reset (tare) the scale to zero.
3. Your scale is set at the factory to weigh in pounds/ounces. To switch between pound/ounces (lb oz), kilograms (kg), grams (g), and ounces (oz), press the “UNIT” button.
4. Place the item to be weighed on the center of the platform. The weight will display. As you add weight, the weight displayed increases.
5. The scale will turn off automatically after approximately 1 minute of non-use or if there is no change in weight after approximately 3 minutes. Press and hold the “q/TARE” button to turn the scale off manually.

Tare Operation
You may wish to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container (not included). In this case, you will need to tare, or offset, the weight of the bowl so that only the weight of the ingredients is displayed.

1. Choose a container that will safely balance on the platform without tipping or falling. Do not use a heavy container, as this might reduce the maximum capacity of the scale.
2. While the scale is off, place the empty container on the scale platform. Turn the scale on. The display will turn on and then show zero. The weight of the container has been zeroed out.
3. Add the ingredients to be weighed. The weight of the ingredient alone will be displayed.
4. The weight of additional ingredients may be torn 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 the “/TARE” button. The scale resets to zero. Add the ½ lbs of beans. Both ingredients have been accurately weighed in the same bowl.
5. When weights have been torn out, the display will show a negative number when the items are removed from the scale. To reset the scale back to zero for a new measurement, press the “/TARE” button. The scale 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 cleaning agents, or sprays.
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 user-serviceable parts.
3. Although your scale is designed to be maintenance-free, it contains sensitive electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Treat it with care to ensure the best performance.
4. This scale is intended for home/consumer use only. It is not intended for commercial or medical use.
5. This scale is designed to read weights up to 11 lbs/5 kgs. To prevent damage, do not place more than 11 lbs/5 kgs on it.
6. Do not store scale where you store cleaning chemicals. The vapors from some household products may affect the electronic components of your scale. Do not store scale on its side.
7. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. In order to prevent run down of the batteries, do not store anything on the scale.
8. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the batteries if the scale will not be used for a long period of time. Always replace all batteries at the same time; do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
9. Overload Warning: Should “O-Ld” appear on the display during a weighing, this indicates that the maximum weighing capacity of the scale has been exceeded. Remove the weight immediately; otherwise, permanent damage could occur.
