Mini Kitchen Weighing Scale - BARGAINS-GALORE

No, this is a mechanical scale and does not require any batteries or power source.

The detachable bowl is dishwasher safe. Wipe the main scale body with a slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse the scale in water.

While specific capacity can vary slightly by model, mechanical kitchen scales of this type typically have a maximum capacity around 500g to 1kg. Please refer to the product packaging for exact specifications.

Mechanical scales offer good accuracy for general kitchen tasks. For extremely precise measurements (e.g., fractions of a gram), a digital scale might be preferred.

No, mechanical scales do not have a tare function to reset to zero with an ingredient already on the scale. You must zero the scale before adding ingredients.

It means the dial indicator quickly settles on a reading once weight is applied, unlike some older mechanical scales that might oscillate longer.

Ensure the scale is on a level surface. Adjust the zero knob at the base until the indicator points precisely to zero. Remove any objects from the scale's platform.

Check for any obstructions around the dial mechanism. Ensure the bowl is correctly seated on the platform. For persistent issues, recalibration might be needed, or consider professional servicing if available.

Ensure the scale is clean and dry. If the bowl feels stuck, do not force it. Check for any dried food residue around the attachment points and clean them gently.
