No, this is a mechanical scale and does not require any batteries or power source.
Yes, the included 1L plastic bowl is dishwasher safe.
The scale can measure up to 5kg or 11lb 1oz.
The scale is designed to nest inside the included measuring bowl for compact storage.
The mechanical base should not be submerged in water. Only the removable bowl is dishwasher safe.
Always check the zero-adjustment wheel before use to ensure the needle is correctly calibrated to zero.
Adjust the zero-adjustment wheel located on the base of the unit until the needle aligns with the zero mark.
Ensure the scale is on a perfectly flat and level surface; an uneven surface will cause the internal spring to skew.
Ensure the bowl is properly seated on the indentation of the scale platform to prevent shifting.
Setting up your Vintage Manual Kitchen Scales is straightforward. Place the scale on a hard, stable kitchen counter to ensure the internal springs remain level. If the needle does not point to zero, rotate the adjustment wheel located near the base of the dial until it is correctly aligned. For care, wipe the mechanical base with a soft, damp cloth to remove flour or spills; avoid submerging the scale base in water as this can damage the internal mechanism. The included 1L plastic bowl is fully dishwasher safe. When not in use, invert the scale base to sit within the bowl to save valuable shelf space.
