DISPLAYING ACTUAL FRACTIONS
VS. “KITCHEN FRACTIONS”
A unique feature of your calculator is
that it will display both actual fractions
and “kitchen fractions” during conver-
sions or recipe scaling calculations. That
is, if the answer is 3/4 TBSP, it knows
there is no “3/4” of a Tablespoon, or
measuring spoon, available to measure
with; instead, it will show the rounded
answer (e.g., 1 TBSP).
For more precise measuring, you can
then press the
c / keys to display
the remainder amount to add or sub-
tract, or simply convert the value to the
next lowest cooking unit (e.g., TSP), to
avoid the remainder altogether.
If you do not want to view “kitchen”
values, you can display actual values
by pressing the cooking unit key again.
Important Note:The calculator will tell
you when an actual value is displayed
by displaying the word “Act.”
