Cuisinart SA-110AC - Manual (Page 3)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The scale uses 1 9V ALKALINE battery, (not
included). To install the battery, remove the cover
of the battery compartment. Insert the battery
ensuring that its positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals are positioned correctly. Replace the
battery compartment cover pushing firmly
until it clicks into place.
A low battery symbol will appear in the upper
right hand corner of the L.C.D. digital readout
when the battery needs to be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Use only ALKALINE batteries.
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 con-
tainer, 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 sub-
tracted 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.
