High-Precision DMS Sensors: The Heart of the Extralink K4
Forget inaccurate measuring cups and estimations. The Extralink Home K4 is a reliable household scale with gram division, based on state-of-the-art sensor technology. The built-in strain gauge (DMS) sensors guarantee consistent and repeatable results with every weighing process up to a maximum capacity of 5 kg. Whether you're weighing fine baking ingredients or larger quantities for a family meal – you can rely on the accuracy of this scale.
Thought Out to the Last Detail: Design and Functionality
The design of the Extralink K4 is not only modern but also extremely practical. The brushed stainless steel weighing surface not only looks elegant but is also particularly hygienic and can be effortlessly cleaned with a damp cloth after use. Thanks to its compact dimensions and light weight, this flat digital kitchen scale finds space even in the smallest kitchen. Non-slip feet always ensure a secure stand on your countertop.
Intuitive Operation for Stress-Free Cooking
Operation is child's play. With the tare button, you reset the weight of a container to zero, to then weigh only the ingredient. This not only saves time but also washing up. The large, clearly readable kitchen scale stainless steel illuminated display shows you the weight clearly, while you quickly switch between the different units with the second button. Low battery ('Lo') and overload ('O_Ld') indicators complete the user-friendly experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I calibrate the Extralink Home K4 kitchen scale?
Manual calibration by the user is generally not intended or necessary for this model. The scale automatically calibrates to zero when switched on. For precise results, ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat surface and displays '0' before weighing.
What does the error message 'O_Ld' on the display mean?
The 'O_Ld' display is an overload warning. It means that the weight on the scale exceeds the maximum capacity of 5 kg. Remove the weight immediately to prevent permanent damage to the sensitive sensors.
Can I also weigh liquids like milk or water with the scale?
Yes, the scale has a milliliter (ml) function. This setting is typically calibrated to the density of water or milk and allows for convenient measurement of liquids by volume, although technically weight is measured.
How do I activate the tare function to weigh ingredients in a bowl?
Place the empty bowl on the switched-on scale. Wait until the weight of the bowl is displayed, then briefly press the 'ON/TARE' or 'T' button. The display will reset to '0'. You can now add the ingredients, and their net weight will be shown directly.
How do I clean the Extralink K4 scale correctly?
Clean the stainless steel surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. Never immerse the scale in water, as this can damage the electronics.
Does the scale turn off automatically?
Yes, the Extralink K4 has an automatic shut-off function to conserve batteries. If the scale is not used for about 2 to 3 minutes, it will turn itself off.
