[. . . ] Dear customer, We recommend you read this instruction manual carefully before using the scales for the first time, in order to use them correctly. Place the scales on a hard, flat surface (do not place them on a carpet). [. . . ] This means: 68 kg and 300g NOTE: The scales round off your weight to the nearest 0. If you weigh yourself twice and obtain two different readings, this means your weight is between the two. They will also switch off if no-one stands on them for around 8 seconds. Do not attempt to open the scales to repair them, as this will nullify the guarantee. If the scales do not work when you switch them on, make sure a battery has been inserted and that it has not run down. When the batteries need replacing, the following message will appear on the display: At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin. If this happens, follow the steps in Section 4 ADJUSTMENT and replace the batteries. [. . . ] Do not drop the scales on the floor or jump onto them when you use them. Avoid any knocks and do not shake the scales, as they are a precision appliance. [. . . ]
