Maintenance Instructions:

After each use, wipe the scale surface with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. In case of water or liquid spills, wipe immediately with a dry cloth, as this may damage the electronic parts. Do not wash the scale with water, immerse it in water, or put it in the dishwasher. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives, as this may damage the surface. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth when cleaning the LCD screen. Check the batteries regularly and replace them when they are weak, as battery leakage can damage the device. Remove the batteries if you will not be using the scale for an extended period. Store the scale in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Keep it away from extremely hot or cold environments, as this may affect its accuracy. Be careful not to drop or impact it, as this may damage the sensitive sensors. Maintain the accuracy and performance of the scale by performing regular maintenance.

Usage Tips:

Place the scale on a flat, stable surface; slanted surfaces may result in inaccurate measurements. Turn on the scale and wait a few seconds before using it to allow it to reset. Place your container on the scale and press the tare button to reset it, so you only measure the amount of coffee. When making pour-over coffee, start the timer and control your water pouring speed. Measure the correct dosage for espresso, usually 18-20g is ideal for a double shot. Weigh the coffee beans before grinding to ensure a consistent ratio (usually 1:15 or 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio). Experiment with different ratios for different brewing methods to discover your own flavor profile. Use the timer to track the bloom time (30-45 seconds) and total brewing time (3-4 minutes for pour-over). Maintain consistency by preparing coffee with the same amount and time every morning. You can use the scale not only for coffee but also to measure tea, spices, and other ingredients. Learn professional barista techniques and improve your skills by practicing with the scale. Note down coffee recipes, recording which quantities and times yield the best results. Read the instruction manual before first use to familiarize yourself with all the functions. To maintain the scale's accuracy, do not place heavy objects on it and do not exceed its maximum capacity.
