Attention: Owing to great variations in the
level of body fat it is diffi cult to obtain a
reference value. On average for adult men
the best time for the measurement is between
6 and 8 o‘clock p.m. because the level of
body fat is very constant during this period!
Putting into service
Simple Weighing Function

ment you may choose between the settings
‘kg’, ‘lb.’ (pound).
2.Switch on the scales by pressing lightly
with your foot or toes on the glass surface.
You may also push the ON button .
“8888” appears in the display.
3.After a few seconds “0.0” kg (0.0 lb.)
appears in the display (5).
Now stand with both feet on the contact
surfaces of the scales. Spread your weight
out evenly and wait while the scales
calculate your weight.
4.The indication on the display initially flashes
2x, then your exact weight will be shown.
When you step down from the scales, the
device switches off automatically after 10
seconds or you can push the ON button .
