LARGE DIAL, LARGE PLATFORM SCALE
MODEL: 160KGWA
OPERATING THE SCALE
1. Place the scale on a hard and flat surface for best accuracy. Accuracy may be affected by very soft,
deep pile carpet or rugs.
2. Step on and off the scale a few times before attempting to weigh yourself. This will align the internal
mechanism.
3. Adjust the pointer to zero, if necessary, using the zero adjust knob at the bottom of the scale.
Note: As you use the scale over a period of time you may find that the pointer drifts slightly from
zero. The best time to check the zero adjustment is after weighing when you step off the scale, if the
pointer does not return exactly to zero, adjust the zero adjust knob.
4. Step on the scale with weight equally distributed on both feet, stand still.
WEIGHING HINTS
1. Weigh yourself at approximately the same time each day. The foods you eat, liquids you drink and
your level of activity will cause your weight to vary.
2. For more realistic results, weigh yourself without clothing. The average weight of clothing, including
shoes, is about 0.9-2.26 kg for women and 2.26-3.62 kg for men.
MAINTAINING THE SCALE
1. The baked enamel finish, lens and mat can be cleaned with a mild soap and damp soft cloth. DO
NOT USE ABRASIVE OR STRONG CHEMICAL CLEANERS.
2. All bearings and working parts are permanently lubricated, DO NOT USE OIL OR LUBRICANTS.
3. If your scale fails to work properly, do not attempt to dismantle it. This will void your warranty. See
warranty information for instructions on having your scale serviced.
