Operating the Aqua Medic AquaSpoon Spoon Scale
Before using for the first time, put the batteries into the Battery Compartment and remove the Protective Film from the display.
Changing and Inserting Batteries
- Undo the screw on the Battery Compartment Lid in the handle of the AquaSpoon Spoon Scale and remove the lid.
- Insert two fresh AAA batteries. Observe correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the lid and secure it with the screw.
- If the battery grows weaker, then the Battery Symbol appears. If the battery is almost fully spent, "app Lo" appears in the display approximately one second after switching the scale on, the scale then switches off automatically.
Changing the Scoop
Two differently sized scoops are enclosed, each with a measuring scale to allow you to measure quantities such as teaspoons or tablespoons:
Large Scoop = Scale from One Tablespoon to Three Tablespoons.
Small Scoop = Scale from One Teaspoon to 1-1/2 Tablespoons.
To change the scoops, simply pull the scoop forward off the handle and push the other in. The scoop must click audibly into place.
Weighting
- For precise measurement, the scale must be in a horizontal position. If this is not the case, "UNST" is shown in the display. Measurement is not possible.
- Keep the scale away from magnetic fields, radio waves and mobile phones as they can influence the measurement.
- Always switch the scale on when it is empty. If there are small quantities (less that 50 g / 1.763 oz) on the scale when it is switched on, it will switch to "zero." If the quantities are larger, the scale displays "out2" before switching off.
- If the weight exceeds 310 g / 10.935 oz, the display shows "0-Ld." The AquaSpoon Spoon Scale cannot weigh this quantity.
- Select the suitable scoop.
- Hold the AquaSpoon Spoon Scale horizontally or place it on a horizontal surface. Press the "TARE" button to switch the scale on.
- All of the displays appear briefly in the display. The scale then calibrates itself and after a few seconds, 0.0 g or 0.000 oz appears in the display. The AquaSpoon Spoon Scale is ready now (If the scale shows a value other than zero, press the "TARE" button again to set the display to zero).
- Place the item you wish to weigh into the scoop. Hold the scale horizontally. If you have placed it on a surface, hold it steady with your hand to prevent it from toppling over. The weight appears in the display.
- Press and hold the "Mode" button, if necessary, to swap between grams (g) and ounce s (oz).
Weighing Added Substances (Tare)
If you wish to weigh individually added substances:
- Place the first substance on the scale and adjust the amount until the display shows the required weight. Press the "Tare" button to reset the display to zero. "Tare" appears in the display.
- Place the second substance on the scale and adjust the amount until the display again shows the required weight.
Note: If you press "Tare" and then take the first weighed substance off the spoon, the display will show a negative value. Press "Tare" again to reset the scale to zero.
Freezing the Measurement Results in the Display
To "freeze" the measurement results in the display:
Press "Hold." The measurement results remain frozen in the display, even if you remove the weighed item. "Hold" appears in the display. Press "Hold" again to display the normal measurement results. Alternatively, the display will change automatically after approximately 10 seconds.
Switching Off
To switch the scale off, press and hold the "Tare" button for a few seconds until the display switches off. If you do not use the scale, it will switch off automatically after approximately two minutes.
Warning: Strong electromagnetic interference can impair the normal functioning of the AquaSpoon Spoon Scale. If this happens, remove the source of interference, switch the device off and on again, and then use as indicated in the operating manual.
Cleaning
The two scoops are dishwasher safe but not the handle. Do not immerse the handle in water or other liquids. Only clean the handle with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Do not use any caustic cleaning agents. |
