Product Information
Full details
The Vogue Large Kitchen Scale 5kg is a robust weighing solution designed for busy home cooks and commercial kitchen environments that require reliable, mechanical measurement. Its primary advantage is the generous 200mm stainless steel bowl, which easily accommodates large batches of ingredients, though it is important to note that the 20g increments make it better suited for general baking and prep rather than high-precision tasks like weighing specialty spices or yeast.

FAQs
Does this scale require batteries?
No, this is a mechanical scale and does not require batteries or any electrical power.
Can I put the stainless steel bowl in the dishwasher?
While the stainless steel material is durable, we recommend hand washing the bowl to maintain its finish and prevent any potential damage to the seams.
What is the smallest weight this scale can measure accurately?
The scale features 20g increments, so it is best used for measuring ingredients that are multiples of 20g rather than very small or fine weights.
Is the bowl included with the scale?
Yes, the 200mm stainless steel bowl is included as part of the unit.
What are the dimensions of the scale?
The scale measures 217mm in height, 142mm in width, and 204mm in depth.
Troubleshooting
The scale does not return to zero
Adjust the calibration dial located near the base or back of the scale until the needle rests perfectly on the zero mark.
The weighing plate or bowl feels wobbly
Ensure that the bowl is seated correctly on the top plate and that the scale is positioned on an even, non-slip counter surface.
The scale is reading inaccurately
Check that there is no debris stuck in the spring mechanism underneath the plate and ensure the scale is not being overloaded beyond its 5kg limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the scale is straightforward: place the unit on a stable, level surface and ensure the pointer is set to zero using the calibration dial if necessary. When cleaning, the stainless steel bowl can be removed and washed with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth. The base should be wiped down with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the mechanical base in water, as this can corrode internal springs and components. Store the scale in a dry environment to prevent rust and ensure the long-term accuracy of the weighing spring.
