E NUTRI-WEIGH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Nutri-Weigh CONTENTS Dietary computer scale 1. GETTING STARTED 1 2. WEIGHING 1 3. KEYPAD 3 4. ANALYSING YOUR FOODS 4 5. NUTRI-WEIGH UNIQUE MEMORY FUNCTIONS What is the NUTRI-WEIGH Dietary computer scale? Whether you are following a specific diet plan or simply aiming to eat more healthily, it is important to know the real nutritional value of the food you eat. The Salter NUTRI-WEIGH scale contains a comprehensive inbuilt nutritional database of over one thousand four hundred and thirty analysed foods. The foods in this database have been analysed according to the following eleven nutrient types: calories, protein, carbohydrates, total sugars, total fat, saturated fat, fibre, sodium, cholesterol, net carbohydrates and Glycemic Index (GI) values. The NUTRI-WEIGH requires no separate reference book, table or numerical food codes, so it is very easy and quick to use. It has a feature that allows you to keep a cumulative record of your total nutritional intake and set maximum limits on various nutrient types e.g. calories. It also helps you keep track of your total nutritional intake by calculating the difference between your target and actual nutritional intake. Apart from the extensive one thousand four hundred and thirty plus foods in the database, this scale enables you to input data for up to one hundred additional food types, including your own favourite recipes and meals. a) Memorising Your Foods PAGE 4 b) Reviewing Nutritional Values in Memory 4 c) 4 Setting Your Target Values d) Viewing Your Remaining Balance 5 e) Resetting Memory 5 f) Adding ‘ABSENT’ foods to memory 5 The NUTRI-WEIGH can also be used as a conventional scale for everyday weighing and measuring. This integrated kitchen scale is simple to use and fully equipped with the ‘Add & Weigh’ and Salter ‘AquatronicTM’ dry and liquid measurement technology. 6. ADDING NEW FOODS TO NUTRI-WEIGH 6 The Salter NUTRI-WEIGH also has the following key features: 7. ADDING YOUR RECIPES TO NUTRI-WEIGH 6 8. EDITING FOOD ENTRIES 7 9.

WEIGHING ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING A WEIGHT LOSS AND/OR EXERCISE PROGRAM. a) If using a bowl, place it on the platform 5 before switching the scale on. b) Turn the scale ON 3 and wait for the weight display 2 to show 0. c) Place the item to be weighed on the platform 5 . 1. GETTING STARTED a) Remove all packaging including any plastic covering on the display screens 1 and 2 . b) Insert the 4 AA batteries into the battery compartment 20 , ensuring the + and terminals are correctly oriented. c) Use the switch 21 on the base to select USA or UK database. d) Place the NUTRI-WEIGH on a firm level surface. e) 1 Adjust the angle of the lid 7 to allow optimum viewing of the display panels. Ensure the items being weighed on the platform do not touch the lid as this could affect the accuracy of the foods being weighed. d) To weigh several ingredients together, press the ZERO key to reset the display to zero between each ingredient. e) Use the MODE key 18 , as required, to toggle between metric and imperial units and dry and liquid measures (g, oz, ml & floz). The current units of measurement are indicated alongside the weight display. For your convenience, the scale has a ‘weight mode’ memory, so when the scale is next switched on, it will continue to use the weight units last selected. TIP: The liquid measure (Aquatronic™) feature is suitable for all water based liquids, e.g. wine, milk, stock, cream etc. Please be advised that oils have a significantly lower specific gravity and would give a reading of approx. +10%. Please adjust your recipe by this proportion when measuring oils on this scale. 2 Diagram 3. 4.

If there are certain foods that you eat that are not in the NUTRI-WEIGH they can be added to the database. e.g. if you have a favourite breakfast cereal that is not listed, you can use the nutritional values printed on the cereal pack to add this food to the database.

Some food manufacturers quote ‘mg’ of sodium and others quote ‘g’ of sodium. You need to enter ‘mg’ of sodium.To convert from ‘g’ to ‘mg’, multiply by 1000. For example, 0.5g sodium = 500mg sodium. i. Turn the scale on and press the MENU key ii.

Remember to reset your memory at the end of your goal period. e.g. if you set your target values per day, then you must reset the memory at the end of each day. This will help you maintain an accurate record of your nutritional intake. ii. Diet plans vary and it is common practice to review your food intake on a daily basis to help you assess your eating pattern. The memory function on this scale can help you do so efficiently. If you prefer to review your food intake on a less regular basis you can record your food intake for a maximum period of 7 days. Your personal information will continue to be retained even when the NUTRI-WEIGH is turned off. If you are weighing out ingredients for a recipe, you can use the ‘ADD RECIPE’ feature to enter each ingredient into memory as you go. When you are done, the NUTRI-WEIGH will total up the nutritional values of the ingredients and allow you to enter a name for your recipe. It can then be stored in the database. Note: Before you add your recipes to the NUTRI-WEIGH, it is a good idea to check all ingredients you need for your recipe are already featured in the NUTRI-WEIGH. If any ingredients are not already featured they can be added to the NUTRI-WEIGH as detailed above in Section 6. f) To add your recipes to the NUTRI-WEIGH: Adding ‘ABSENT’ Foods to Memory If you are unable to use your NUTRI-WEIGH just before you eat certain foods do not worry. The NUTRI-WEIGH has a feature that allows you to add your foods in your own time without actually weighing the food. You can do this by following the instructions below: i. Simply turn on your NUTRI-WEIGH and type in the name of the food you ate. ii. When the message ‘PLACE ITEM ON SCALE OR ENTER WEIGHT IN GRAMS’ appears on the upper display panel estimate the weight of the food you wish to record in grams and manually enter the weight by pressing the appropriate numbers on the key pad then press ENTER. iii. Press M+ followed by your USER key to add this to your memory. TIP: Remember, 1oz is approximately 28g 5 a) b) c) d) M+ Turn on the scale and press MENU Scroll to ‘ADD RECIPE TO MEMORY’ and then press ENTER Place your first ingredient on the scale, type the name of the ingredient and press ENTER Press M+ to add this ingredient to memory 12 . Repeat the above step and press for all ingredients used in your recipe. Note: If you enter an ingredient incorrectly do not worry. Pressing CANCEL at anytime during this stage deletes all ingredients that you have entered for this recipe so far and allows you to start again. e) Press ENTER when you have added all ingredients and the message ‘TYPE IN NAME OF RECIPE THEN PRESS ENTER’ will appear on the upper display panel. Press ENTER f) Type in the name of your special recipe and press ENTER. Your recipe is now stored in your NUTRI-WEIGH. TIP: You can enter a recipe without actually preparing the food by entering the weight of each ingredient manually. (Please refer to section 5 f ) ‘Adding ABSENT Foods to Memory’, for detailed instructions). Note: Please note that cooking at high temperatures can alter the nutritional values of some foods. Therefore the values calculated by the ADD RECIPE feature may be altered by the cooking process. 6 8. EDITING FOOD ENTRIES 12. CLEANING AND CARE If you need to edit any of the foods that you have added to the database, follow the instructions below: The stainless steel weighing platform is removable for easy cleaning and is dishwasher-safe.
