FAQs

Does this scale need batteries?

No, this is a mechanical scale and does not require batteries or any electrical power.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The scale has a maximum weighing capacity of 5Kg.

Can the bowl be removed for cleaning?

Yes, the bowl is fully removable and designed to be cleaned separately from the main unit.

How do I store the scale to save space?

The weighing bowl is designed to invert and fit inside the base unit, making it compact for storage in drawers or cupboards.

Is the scale waterproof?

The scale should not be submerged in water. Clean it with a damp cloth and ensure it remains dry to protect the internal mechanical components.

Can I use my own bowl instead of the included one?

Yes, you can place other bowls on the platform, but you will need to use the zero adjustment wheel to re-calibrate the needle each time you change containers.

Troubleshooting

The needle does not point to zero when the scale is empty.

Rotate the zero adjustment wheel located above the display face until the needle aligns exactly with the zero mark.

Measurements seem inconsistent.

Ensure the scale is placed on a perfectly level and stable surface. Verify that nothing is obstructing the movement of the weighing bowl.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No batteries or power source required
  • Easy to clean with a removable bowl
  • Compact storage design
  • Simple, intuitive operation

Cons

  • Not suitable for measuring extremely small quantities
  • Lacks digital precision for fractional gram increments
  • Requires manual recalibration using the adjustment wheel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the scale requires no complex configuration; simply place it on a level, hard countertop. It is compatible with most standard kitchen containers, though the included bowl is recommended for best results. To maintain the device, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging the mechanical unit in water to prevent damage to the internal springs. The removable bowl is generally easy to hand-wash with mild soap and water. Always store the unit in a dry environment and keep the scale stored on a flat surface to maintain the internal calibration mechanism's integrity.
