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.

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.

The Salter NUTRI-WEIGH also has the following key features:

•Quick search, a function that allows you to easily find the last twenty foods

you analysed.

•Two user memory, which allows up to two people to record their nutritional

intake for up to 7 days.

•UK/US food database selector switch, this function makes it ease for you to

find foods that are common to each culture/country.

•Stainless steel platform, which is removable for easy cleaning and suitable

for use with most bowls and containers.

•4 AA batteries which are supplied with the scale for instant use.

•Alternative power supply, through an electrical mains power adaptor*.

•Maximum capacity of 3kg x 1g / 6lb 10oz x 1/8oz / 3000ml x 1ml /

105floz x 1/8floz.

2. WEIGHING

a) If using a bowl, place it on the platform before switching the scale on.

b) Turn the scale ON and wait for the weight display to show 0.

c) Place the item to be weighed on the platform .

d) To weigh several ingredients together, press the ZERO key to reset the display to

zero between each ingredient.

e) Use the MODE key , 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.

The majority of the alphanumeric keys have three letters and one number assigned.

a) To enter a food name, press the appropriate key repeatedly until the desired letter

appears on the display.

b) Wait a second for the cursor to reappear in the upper display panel , then key in

the next letter in the same way.

c) If you make a mistake, press DEL to delete the last letter entered. Holding DEL

down will delete several letters more quickly.

d) A space can be entered between words by using the 0 key .

e) The UP and DOWN arrow keys are used to scroll through items in the food list

or through options in the menu. When the cursor reaches the item you are searching

for, press the ENTER key to confirm your selection.

f) The CANCEL button is used to cancel an operation and return to the previous step.

g) When you need to enter numerical data (e.g. nutritional values), the keypad will

4. ANALYSING YOUR FOODS

To identify the nutritional contents of your foods, follow the instructions below:

a) Turn the scale on by pressing the ON button

b) Place your food on the weighing platform

c) The upper display panel will prompt you to enter the food type. Use the keypad

to enter the first few letters of the name of the food. (For further instructions on

how to use the keypad please read section 3 ‘KEYPAD’).

d) Either continue to type the full name of the food or use the up and down arrow

keys to scroll through the shortlist of foods in the upper display panel

e) When the correct food is displayed, press the ENTER key

f) Nutritional values will be displayed in the lower display panel .

TIP:

i. For your convenience, the last twenty foods you have entered are stored in a ‘quick

search’ facility. Use the UP and DOWN keys (instead of typing) to search through

these foods.

ii. To find foods quickly type the most specific word to describe the food. e.g. if

searching for EDAM CHEESE; typing the word EDAM will find the food faster than

typing the word CHEESE. The reason for this is that CHEESE has many variations and

you will have to scroll through the CHEESE list to find CHEESE EDAM, which may be

more time consuming!

NOTE: Some of the nutritional categories may appear blank if data is unavailable for

that particular food.

5. NUTRI-WEIGH UNIQUE MEMORY FUNCTIONS

To help you keep a precise record of the total nutritional value of the food you eat, and

monitor your nutritional intake, the NUTRI-WEIGH has some unique memory functions.

NOTE:

i. Target values can be altered at anytime by repeating steps 1-5 above.

ii. It is not necessary to fill in target values for every nutritional category.

You can just set those that you are most interested in and leave the others at zero.

iii. Target values should be limited to a maximum period of 7 days.

d) Viewing Your Remaining Balance

To help you manage your diet plan better the NUTRI-WEIGH can show you the balance

remaining from your set target by using the ‘VIEW BALANCE’ option.

To view the remaining balance in your memory, follow the instructions below:

i. Turn the scale on and press the MENU key

ii. Use the SCROLL key to scroll down to the ‘VIEW BALANCE’ option

iii. Press ENTER to view the outstanding balance of your set targets. If you have

exceeded your target for a particular nutritional category, the display will show

EEEE. Also, if you have not set targets for some of the nutritional categories, the

display will show EEEE

iv. Press CANCEL to return to the previous/main screen.

Note: The balance values shown on the display are calculated from the target value

minus the current total value in memory.

e) Resetting Memory

To reset your memory at the end of your goal period, follow the instructions below:

i. Turn the scale on and press the MENU key

ii. Press ENTER followed by your USER key

iii. Then press ENTER to reset values to zero.

TIP:

i. 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.

f) 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

6. ADDING NEW FOODS TO THE NUTRI-WEIGH

The NUTRI-WEIGH allows you to customise the food list to suit your personal needs.

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. You can do this by following the instructions below:

a) Turn the scale on and press MENU

b) Using the SCROLL key to scroll down to "ADD FOOD ITEM TO MEMORY",

and then press ENTER

c) Using the keypad, enter a name for the new food (see Note i below) then press ENTER.

d) You will be prompted to type in the values for each nutritional category. ALWAYS

enter nutritional values as per 100g of product. For the G.I Value use the

appropriate alphabet keys to enter L for Low, M for Medium, and H for High

e) Use the SCROLL buttons to scroll between the categories

f) When you have entered all the values, press ENTER again to add the new food to memory.

Note:

i. The FOOD NAME you choose is limited to 16 characters including spaces, and

cannot be the same as any other name already in the database.

ii. Don’t worry if you don’t have data for some of the categories; you can leave these as zero.

TIP:

i. Please take particular care when entering the value for sodium. 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.

For the complete list of foods featured on the NUTRI-WEIGH 1450 please go to

7. ADDING YOUR RECIPES TO THE NUTRI-WEIGH

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.

To add your recipes to the NUTRI-WEIGH:

a) Turn on the scale and press MENU

b) Scroll to ‘ADD RECIPE TO MEMORY’ and then press ENTER

c) Place your first ingredient on the scale, type the name of the ingredient and press ENTER

d) Press M+ to add this ingredient to memory . Repeat the above step and press

M+ 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.
