Taylor 3803 Commercial Healthy Weigh Nutritional Scale (6.6lb/3kg capacity)

The Taylor 3803 Healthy Weigh^TM Nutritional Scale is part of Taylor's Five-Star Commercial line of kitchen products, which are designed for accuracy, readability, and reliability. This scale can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle by providing the nutritional contents of over 500 common food items. The 3803's Diet Memory function helps you keep track of your nutritional intake electronically and effortlessly. A Target Monitoring function lets you set nutritional limits and warns you when these limits are exceeded. Naturally, you can also use the Taylor 3803 digital nutrition scale as a regular kitchen scale for weighing food ingredients. The digits in the scale's four-digit weight display are about 3/8 inch tall, with ounce fractions (in 1/8 ounce increments) about half that size. The characters in the two-line text display are just under 1/4 inch tall. Maximum capacity of this scale is 6.6 pounds or 3 kilograms.

The Taylor 3803 Healthy Weigh Nutrition Scale is white with gray control pushbuttons. The LCD panel has a grayish-green background. On the bottom of the scale are four non-skid feet and a kg/lb switch for selecting the weight unit. The scale's smooth plastic housing and weighing platform are easy to clean. The 3803 scale uses strain gauge technology, which provides long-term durability and accuracy when the scale is used as intended.

General Weighing Operation
To use the 3803 as a regular kitchen scale, you first set the kg/lb switch on the bottom of the unit to the desired weight unit. Then you place the scale on a hard, level surface and press ON/OFF toturn the scale on. When the display changes from "PLEASE WAIT" to "0.0 lb oz" or to "0 g", you're ready to weigh. When you place the item to be weighed at the center of the platform, the weight appears in the LCD panel. If you add weight, the displayed weight will increase. When you remove the weight, the display returns to zero. (If it doesn't, press TARE.) If you are finished weighing (or using any of the scale's other functions), press ON/OFF after removing the weight to turn the scale off manually, or simply wait about 2 minutes and the scale will turn itself off automatically.
As often as not, you'll probably want to weigh ingredients in a bowl or other container rather than on the platform. In this case, you'll need to tare, or offset, the weight of the bowl so only the weight of what's in the bowl is displayed. This is really easy. Just place the bowl on the scale when the scale is off. Then turn the scale on. The display shows PLEASE WAIT and then 0.0 or 0, which indicates that the weight of the container has been zeroed out. Add the ingredient to be weighed, and its weight alone will appear.
By the way, when weights have been tared out, removing the items from the scale results in a negative number in the display. To reset the scale to 0.0 or 0 for a new measurement, simply press TARE or turn the scale off and back on
Add 'n' Weigh Function
You may wish to weigh multiple ingredients in the same container. With its Add 'n' Weigh function, the Taylor 3803 can tare the weight on the platform so each ingredient can be measured individually. If, for example, a recipe calls for 1/2 pound of one ingredient and 1/4 pound of a second, tare out the container first as described above. Then weigh the first ingredient so that you have the correct amount. Press TARE, and the display will reset to 0.0 or 0. Then add and weigh the second ingredient so that you have the correct amount. If there are more than two ingredients, repeat until all are weighed. That's all there is to it. After removing the container from the scale, either press TARE or turn the scale off and back on to change the negative number to zero.
Diet Computation Function
The Taylor 3803 calculates dietary values of over 500 foods included in the scale's software program and displays them in grams or milligrams based on the kind and weight of the food on the scale. You press the Diet key (the one with a root vegetable symbol on it) to enter the Diet Computing mode. You then select the first letter in the name of the food you'll be weighing. Next, you scroll through and select the food name and place the food on the scale. One of eight nutritional values of the food is displayed along with how many grams of it are in the food. These nutritional values are Fat, Fiber, Cholesterol, Sodium, Calories, Carbohydrates, Protein, and Glucose. You press UNIT repeatedly to scroll through these nutrition types. By the way, you can use the Tare and Diet Computation features together if you wish. The 3803's Instruction Manual tells you how.
Diet Memory
The Taylor 3803's Diet Memory can add together and save the nutritional values of the foods you weigh. This lets you view the total nutritional value of a particular recipe or meal. To use the Diet Memory, you enter the Diet Computing mode as described above to get its weight and nutrition results. Pressing M+ stores these results in memory. You then remove the food from the scale and place the second food on it. Pressing the Diet button restarts the process for the second food, and when its nutritional values appear, pressing M+ stores its results in memory. You repeat this for all the foods in your recipe or meal and press MR to bring up the Memory Total display. Pressing UNIT repeatedly scrolls through the different total values.
To return to the individual food display and add more foods to the Diet Memory, you press MR again. To clear the memory, you press M+ and MR at the same time. A flashing M-in-a-circle icon tells you the Diet Memory is full and needs to be cleared.
Target Monitoring Function
The 3803 scale's Target Monitoring function lets you program a limit for any of the nutritional values listed above, such as Calories or Carbohydrates. Alarms sound when the foods weighed approach the limit and when they equal or exceed it. To use Target Monitoring, you press the Target button (the one with the target symbol on it) to enter the Target Setting mode. You then see "ALARM ENABLED" or "ALARM DISABLED", depending upon the alarm status. (This is when you can change the status of an existing alarm.) After a few seconds, "TARGET LEVEL" appears in the display. You press UNIT to select the nutritional value you wish to limit. Next, you enter the (digital) Target Level, which will be in grams or milligrams. Press UNIT again to select another value if desired, and then enter its Target Level. When all desired Target Levels are set, you press the Target button to enable the alarm.
With the alarm enabled, when you place a food on the scale and select its food name, a warning (two quadruple beeps) sounds if the food reaches 90% of its Target Level. A final triple-beep sounds if the Target Level is equaled or exceeded. Programmed Target Levels remain in memory until they are reset to zero or the scale's battery is removed.
Additional Information
If "EEEE" appears in the display, the scale is overloaded. Remove the weight immediately to prevent permanent damage to the scale. Also, be absolutely sure to read the Precautions section of the 3803 Instruction Manual completely before using the scale. This can extend the life of the scale and prevent operational problems down the line.
In the 3803 Instruction Manual is a handy reference list of more than 500 food descriptions and the corresponding names that are displayed on the scale's LCD panel.
For powering, the Taylor 3803 scale requires one 9-volt alkaline "radio" battery, which is not included and must be obtained separately. If a low-battery icon appears in the display or if the readings grow dim or irregular, it's time to replace the battery.
Accurate and reliable, the 3803 Five-Star Commercial Healthy Weigh Nutritional Scale is covered by a Taylor 1-year limited warranty.
