Product Information
Full details
The CASO Design Kitchen Duo is a versatile digital kitchen scale designed for home cooks, bakers, and coffee enthusiasts seeking precision in their measurements. Its key benefit is the dual-mode functionality, allowing seamless switching between weighing larger ingredients up to 15kg and performing micro-weighing with tenth-gram accuracy up to 1kg. A potential caveat is the delicate nature of the precision mode, requiring careful handling for optimal accuracy.

FAQs
What is the difference between the normal weighing mode and precision mode?
The normal mode supports weighing larger quantities up to 15kg in 1g increments, suitable for general cooking. The precision mode offers highly accurate measurements up to 1kg in 0.1g increments, ideal for small ingredients like spices or coffee beans.
How do I clean the CASO Design Kitchen Duo?
Wipe the scale with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or immersing the scale in water. Ensure it is dry before use or storage.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The scale has a maximum capacity of 15 kilograms in its normal weighing mode and 1 kilogram in its precision mode.
Can I weigh liquids with this scale?
Yes, you can weigh liquids by placing them in a suitable container and using the tare function to zero out the container's weight before adding the liquid.
What type of batteries does it use?
The specific battery type can vary; please check the product manual or battery compartment for details. Typically, it uses AAA or coin cell batteries.
Is the display backlit?
The scale features a clear LCD display, which ensures measurements are easy to read under various lighting conditions, though it may not be actively backlit.
How do I switch between units (e.g., grams to ounces)?
There is a dedicated 'Unit' button on the scale that allows you to cycle through the available measurement units.
Troubleshooting
Scale not turning on
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
Inaccurate readings
Make sure the scale is on a level surface, free from vibrations. Remove any items from the scale's surface and zero it out using the tare function before weighing. Ensure you are using the correct mode (normal vs. precision).

This indicates the weight exceeds the scale's maximum capacity. Remove some weight from the scale.
