How do I calibrate,

Because you have a scale that weighs in whole grams not parts of a gram. You need a more accurate scale like these which weigh to 1/00th of a gram (0.01 grams).

Grams are weight measurements and cannot be switched out for a measurement size in spoons, cups, etc. In Europe, and in most of the world, they measure by weight (grams /ounces) and use a scale. It is a more accurate way to measure for recipes. For baking, to be certain your product will turn out fine, it should really be done by weight exclusively because baking is a science and not the same as cooking a savory dinner where you can always add a pinch of this and a handful of that. If you have a kitchen scale it should already have both the imperial measuring system and the metric measuring system on it. By the way, 300 grams is roughly 10.5 ounces, therefore 200 grams is equal to 2/3 of that number, which is 7 ounces.

two cups of water are about 500g, 500ml of water is 500g, just measure 500ml of water, put it in no leaking plastic bag and use as a solution to your scales calibration problem, as i am assuming you will not use it to weighting 500g of d0pe or m eth, error of 2 or 3 grams will be of no importance!

regarding fixya - stupidity of censorship is astounding! d0pe and m eth in correct spelling are regarded as profanities...

a scale is calibrated at half it's capacity. when you use a 50 gram weight to calibrate it, it can still measure 0-100 grams properly.

You can use the weight of coins to calibrate the scale. Since I don't know where you are here are some examples.
use the newest cleanest ones you can as they do wear and change slightly

Hi,
if all the jars are of same size then the jar which contains the 9 grams of pill will be more empty than the jars which contains the 10 grams pills.... because 9 grams will be smaller in size compared to 10 grams pills means 9 grams will occupies lesser place compared to 10 grams pills... thus by measuring the empty space.. we can say that the, the jar which is more emptier than others is containing 9 grams pills
Hope this has helped you... Thanks..

Hallo I have problem witch kitchen scale Salter.E appear when I pushed on and it takes 3 sec

How can I fix this problem

Than You

It is not OUT2, but rather OUE2, which means your chefmate needs to re calibrate. To do that you will need the following:

a 2000 grams weight or 4.4 lbs, I used a 3lbs protein jug unopenened and a 600 grams glutamine bottle unopened.

Ok so turn your scale off then:

1) press the ON button and leave it press while simultaneously pressing once the TARE button (though it may need more than one or maybe leaving it press for a few secs thought try just hitting it once first), release the TARE and you should see a CAL on the screen (top left), release the ON and it will read:

2) the number 00000 on the first line will appear, click TARE

-this calibrates no weight first-

3) then it will read you another weight mine read 2000 grams, put that weight on top of the scale (NOTE every scale uses a different weight to calibrate i am giving you mine) once you put it there hit tare and it should read PASS

4) Remove the weight and it should read "0", mine read first 1 grm so i had to re do it again until i got 0.

5) You can try weighting different unopened things that you know the weight of, but if not just turn it OFF then back ON and it should read "0"

Congratulations your scale is now calibrated and ready to use again!!!!


NOTES: i have the electric scale if the on tare button does not works for you it may need a different combination to calibrate.

Hi,
you need just to recalibrate it:
The procedure is standard for semi-all models of pocket scales, but the way how to get to calibration mode differs from model to model (or vendor to vendor).
In brief:
1.While turn-on get to the calibration mode (by pressing and holding the ON button, or holding TARE while turinig on) You should hold this "magic" combination until the LCD will show a number (large number - it was more than 2000 in my case). This number is a raw data from the sensor.
2.Now release the "magic" button.
3.Press it one more time, the display will show 2Ero and then 100.0
4.Now put calibrated weight of 100 grams on the scale and wait 3 seconds.
5.Press "magic" button again.The display will show CAL and then PASS.
6.Now remove the weight and turn off the scale.
7.Thats all - now you can use your scale as usually.

Press and hold 'CAL' key to calibrate the scale. www.luxford.cn
