OpERATING YOUR BREVILLE ikon™ KITCHEN SCALE
For example, when baking a cake that calls
for 8.5oz / 250g butter and 10oz / 300g
sugar: Place an empty mixing bowl in the
center of the weighing platform, then press
the ZERO button. The weight will display
0g and the word "TARE" will be displayed
on the LCD screen. Begin to add the butter
until the desired 8.5oz / 250g is displayed
on the LCD screen. Then, press the ZERO
button again. Add sugar to mixing bowl
until the desired 10oz / 300g is displayed
on the LCD screen.
To remove the word "TARE" and set the
kitchen scale back to 0oz / 0g at any
time, ensure the item is removed from the
kitchen scale and press the ZERO button
again. The word "TARE" will disappear
and the word "ZERO" will display on the
LCD screen.
If the combined weight of all the objects
measured is greater than 6.75oz / 200g,
the word "TARE " will appear in the upper
left side of the LCD screen.
NOTE:
The kitchen scale's maximum capacity is
11lbs/5.0kg. Each time an item is added
using the ZERO button, the weight of the
previous item is counted towards the
maximum capacity.
