Troubleshooting
The needle does not rest at zero
Use the calibration knob on the face of the scale to adjust the pointer until it sits perfectly at zero on a flat, level surface.
Measurements seem inconsistent
Ensure the scale is on a perfectly level, hard surface. Uneven surfaces can cause mechanical scales to provide inaccurate readings.
The scale platform feels unstable
Check that the platform is seated correctly on the mounting bracket and that no debris is lodged between the platform and the weighing mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Vogue Dial Scale is straightforward. Place the unit on a flat, stable, and level surface to ensure the needle returns to true zero. If the needle does not point to zero, most analog dial scales feature a small adjustment knob located near the dial face; rotate this until the pointer is correctly aligned.
For daily maintenance, simply remove the 170mm platform. It can be washed with mild soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Ensure the platform is completely dry before reattaching it to the scale. Avoid submerging the base unit in water, as this can corrode the internal mechanical springs and affect measurement accuracy.
