FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of these scales?
These scales are designed for small quantities. While the exact maximum capacity isn't specified, they are optimized for measurements typical in dieting and precise cooking, generally up to a few hundred grams or ounces.
Can I weigh liquids with these scales?
Yes, the scales can display measurements in milliliters (ml) and fluid ounces (fl oz), allowing you to weigh liquid volumes accurately.
How do I use the 'add 'n' weigh' (tare) function?
Place your first ingredient on the scale, note its weight. Press the '0' or 'tare' button to reset the display to zero. Add your next ingredient to the same bowl; the scale will now show the weight of only the second ingredient. Repeat as needed.
What kind of batteries do these scales use?
Typically, these scales use 2 x AAA batteries. Please refer to the product packaging or manual for exact battery requirements.
How do I clean the scales?
Wipe the scales gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or submerging them in water, as this can damage the electronic components.
What is the warranty period for these scales?
The KitchenCraft Electronic Diet Kitchen Scales come with a twelve-month guarantee from the date of purchase.
Are these scales suitable for professional baking?
While accurate, these scales are best suited for precise weighing of small ingredients or dietary portions. For large-scale professional baking that requires weighing significant amounts of flour or sugar, a scale with a higher capacity might be more appropriate.
