As mentioned above, the
Taylor 3800N Classic Kitchen Scale is easy to use. You
place it on a hard, level surface and press ON/TARE to turn
it on. When the display changes from 8888 to 0.0 (for
ounces) or 0 (for grams), the
scale is ready to use. The factory default weight unit is
pounds and ounces. To switch to kilograms and grams, press and release the
OZ/G button. Then place the item to be weighed at the
center of the platform. The weight is displayed in the LCD
panel. If you add weight, the displayed weight will
increase. When you remove the weight, the display returns
to zero. If you are finished weighing, press OFF after
removing the weight to turn the scale off manually, or
simply wait, as the scale also turns off automatically if
there is no change in weight for 3 minutes. As
often as not, you'll probably want to weigh ingredients in
a bowl or other container rather than on the platform. In this case, you'll need to
tare, or offset, the weight of the bowl so only the weight of
what's in the bowl is displayed. This is really easy. Just
place the bowl on the scale when the scale is off. Then
turn the scale on. The display reads 8888 and then 0.0 or
0,
which indicates that the weight of the container has been
zeroed out. Add the ingredient to be weighed, and its
weight alone will appear. The
weight of additional ingredients can be tared out as well.
If, for example, a recipe calls for 1/2 pound of one
ingredient and 1/4 pound of a second, tare out the
container first as described above. Then weigh the first
ingredient so that you have the correct amount. Press
ON/TARE, and the display will reset to 0.0 or 0. Then
add and weigh the second ingredient so that you have the
correct amount. That's all there is to it.
Accurate and reliable,
the 3800N Classic Digital Kitchen Scale is covered by a
Taylor 1-year limited warranty.
