Troubleshooting

Scale does not read zero.

Ensure the scale is on a level surface. Turn the zero adjustment knob until the indicator precisely aligns with zero. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions under the scale or bowl.

Inaccurate weight readings.

Verify that the scale is on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the weight being measured does not exceed the 3kg limit. Clean the scale and bowl, and try recalibrating the zero point.

Bowl is wobbly or unstable.

Confirm the bowl is correctly seated on the scale platform. Check for any damage to the bowl or the scale's resting surface.
