How do you calibrate this food scale?

Calibrate, meaning to get it back to 0? I put the item I want to hold the food such as a paper plate or a bowl/cup on the scale, push the "tare" button and it will reset to zero. Then I add the item/food I want to measure the weight of.

It's a pre-calibrated digital food scale. No additional calibration is necessary

It came calibrated but I also had an old school fool scale that I used to verify the digital scale was correct. There is also an instruction manual.

The scale calibrates when it turns on. Just turn it off, and then turn it back on again and you should be set. Also, contact Ozeri if you still need the instruction manual.

Unfortunately we gave the scale away along with the manual. I could not find it online. Maybe manufacturer could help.

Hi,Turn scale on at bottom front , then flip scale over, at bottom of scale on back at the lower part of scale you will see (UNIT) press this till you see what measurement you want. IB,G,KG,OZ. when pressed each of these units will appear on LCD on front of scale, pick which one you want, good luck it is so easy.Hope this helps,Anthony Casilli

There is no "calibration" procedure for this unit (at lease not one listed in the manual). I suppose one might measure a known quantity of distilled water at a specific temperature and see how accurately the unit measures that calculated weight.

Yes it can be re-calibrated if necessary. When I do it the scaleasks for a 1000.0 g weight. I don't have any so I just check itwith the smaller weight set I have. You can buy the weighton ebay for 17 USD or so. Wish they stated this in the productdescription.Good luck.Joe

To calibrate, use distilled water. You set the device to zero and thats all. You should do this once every three / four months.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

Mine was pretty well calibrated (within .02g for the 500g weight). It really depends on how accurate you want it to be. It is not "self calibrating". A set of calibration weights will help keep your scale as accurate as it can be.

If you look at the face of the scale it says it weighs to 100g (grams). It is strange that it would calibrate at the far end of its range though rather than somewhere near the middle.

Stand in front of the scale as if you are stepping up to weigh. Put your left hand over the left end of the measuring scale. You should feel, and then see, the end of a screw that can be turned with a regular screwdriver. This screw adjusts the balance. You should turn it either right or left until the balance bar on the right side is level between the two sides. I forgot to mention that you must ensure that the weight is set right on the zero point. I hope this helps. I haven't adjusted mine since I first set it up a few months ago.

I use a piece of plastic on the scale and then put the food on the plastic. I never place food directly on the scale. There is a tare weight that you use when you turn it on with the plastic in place. You still get an accurate reading. I just use a damp cloth to wipe it off. I never put food directly on it.

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

I bought this scale about a month ago. I also wanted to calibrate it. As I have background in electronics, I took the back over off to look for a way to adjust it. I could find no mechanical adjustment anywhere. There is soldered pin sticking out of the printed circuit board with the label "cal", which is almost certainly an electronic calibration connection. As there is no physical adjustment capability apparent, I suspect that adjustment is done electronically at the factory. Just my opinion.

We have been using the scale 4 months, we have not calibrated it. We used it right out of the box, just make sure to use, on a level flat surface.

I have no idea. Stopped using it, too complicated. Any little move of the food scale, it loses the data inputted.

I don't think there is any way to calibrate a scale with out using a known weight to adjust a scale with. Use another scale and fill a container with something that weights 100 grams with the container, then you can use that to calibrate the other scale. Then the scale is calibrated to the scale used the make the weight. If you have a calibrating weight it is a lot easier to check your scales. Hope this helps.
