CONVERTING FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS


Your calculator will also convert cooking units to and from their frac-
tional or decimal values. To do this, enter the value, and then con-
tinue pressing the cooking unit key multiple times until you see the
decimal value.

Follow the example below:

Enter 1/3 cup and convert to decimal, then back to fraction:

Keystroke

Display

1 [/] 3 [cup]

0-1/3 CUP

[cup]

0.333 CUP

[cup]

0-1/3 CUP

Note: If the value entered is not a “kitchen fraction” (e.g., 1/3 TBSP), the next press of
the cooking unit key (e.g., [Tbsp]) will display the rounded “kitchen value” (e.g., 0-1/2
TBSP) and a third press will display the actual decimal value (e.g., 0.333 TBSP).


TEMPERATURE CONVERSIONS


Your calculator will also convert Celsius and Fahrenheit tempera-
tures. Again, use the [Conv] key. See examples below:

Convert 30° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
