KE DEFINITIONS

Basic Operation Keys

[On/C] — On/Clear Key

Turns power on. Pressing once clears the display. Pressing twice

clears any previously entered value.

Turns all power off.

[Rcl] — Recall

Recalls stored values (e.g., [Rcl] [Recipe # Servings]).

[0] – [9] [00] and [

Four-function percent.

[+] [–] [x] [÷] [=]

Arithmetic operation keys.

[Conv] — Convert

onverts to various unit keys (e.g., cooking units, temperature).

tract from Memory, press a value, then [ onv] [–] [ onv] [+]).

[Conv] [Rcl] — Recall Memory

[Conv] [Rcl] [Rcl] — Clear Memory

[Conv] [–] — Change Sign (+/–)

4 — KitchenCalc Pro

hanges the sign of the displayed value from plus to minus and vice

versa.

[Conv] [x] — Clear Recipe Memory

lears the values entered into the # of Servings and Portion Size

keys, as these values are stored in memory (i.e., remain stored even

after you turn your calculator off).

[Conv] [x] [x] — Clear All

lears all stored values, including memory, serving and portion siz-

ing.

Cooking Unit Keys

[lb] — Pound

Enters or converts to pounds.

[dry oz] — Dry Ounce

[Conv] [ / ] — Rnd +/- (Remainder)

Displays the fractional remainder (if applicable), due to “kitchen frac-

tion” values, or calculator rounding. This is an optional calculation

and should be used if you want more precise measurements. When

the calculator has rounded by more than 5%, the display will read

^Rnd (it has rounded up) or νRnd (rounded down). When this occurs,

press [ onv] [/] to display the remainder. A plus (+) tells you to add

User's Guide —

the additional measurement, and a (-) tells you to subtract—e.g.,

[ onv] [/] = + 0-1/2 TSP means you should add an additional 1/2

teaspoons of the ingredient.

Note: If you want to minimize roundin alto ether, convert to the next smallest cookin

unit (e. ., if it reads tablespoons, convert to teaspoons).

Recipe Scaling Keys

Use the keys below to “scale” recipes (when you’re cooking or bak-

ing for less or more than the recipe’s stated serving size, and have

to calculate adjusted ingredient quantities). Your calculator quickly

converts recipe ingredients to their proper proportions, so you can

cook or bake precisely and avoid measurement errors.

First, find the recipe’s stated number of servings or yield, and then

determine how many servings you need to make (if other than the

stated serving size). Use the keys below to enter the “stated” and

“desired” serving sizes (and/or portion sizes), enter each ingredient

quantity and press [Adjust Recipe] to convert each ingredient to its

new, adjusted quantity.

Note: You may prefer to write the new quantities on a piece of paper, or note them

next to the recipe’s in redients, or simply measure new in redient amounts as you

[Recipe # Servings] — Recipe’s Number of

Servings

Enters the recipe’s stated number of servings.

[Actual # Servings] — Actual Number of Servings

Enters your desired number of servings.

[Conv] [Recipe # Servings] — Recipe’s Portion Size

Enters the recipe’s stated per person portion size.

[Conv] [Actual # Servings] — Actual Portion Size

Enters your desired per person portion size.

[Adjust Recipe] — Recipe Adjust

alculates adjusted ingredient quantities based on entered # of Serv-

ings and/or Portion Size.

[Rcl] [Adjust Recipe] — Recipe Scale Factor

Displays the ratio used for adjusting ingredients.

Note: Values entered in Recipe Scalin Keys are stored permanently, so use [Conv] [x]

to clear them prior to enterin a new problem. Also, to review stored values, press [Rcl]

and the applicable key. For example, to review your stored Recipe’s Number of Serv-

in s, press [Rcl] [Recipe # Servin s]. To review your stored Recipe’s Portion Size,

press [Rcl] [Conv] [Recipe # Servin s]).

ENTERING COOKING UNITS (WHOLE AND FRACTIONS)

Enter whole cooking units by entering: 1) the quantity and 2) press-

ing the appropriate cooking unit key. For example:

Enter 3 tablespoons:

Keystroke Display

3 [tbsp] 3 TBSP

Enter cooking units with fractions (e.g., 1/3 cup) by pressing the

fraction [/] key. For example:

Enter 2-1/3 cups:

Keystroke Display

2 1 [/] 3 [cup] 2-1/3 CUP

You can also enter the whole unit first, then the cooking unit key,

then the fraction. For example:

Enter 2-1/3 cups:

Keystroke Display

2 [cup] 1 [/] 3 2-1/3 CUP

BASIC MATH WITH COOKING UNITS

You can perform basic math with cooking units. For example:

What is 1-3/4 cups + 2-1/3 cups?

Keystroke Display

1 3 [/] 4 [cup] [+] 2 1 [/] 3 [cup] [=] 4-1/8 CUP

What is 1/8 tsp x 6?

Keystroke Display

1 [/] 8 [tsp] [x] [6] [=] 0-3/4 TSP

(Cont’d)

8 — KitchenCalc Pro

(Cont’d)

Find 2 tbsp ÷ 3:

Keystroke Display

2 [tbsp] [÷] [3] [=] 0-2/3 TBSP

Note: The results of math calculations will be shown as actual, not rounded, “kitchen-

fractions” (see followin section for more details).

DISPLA ING ACTUAL FRACTIONS VS. “KITCHEN FRACTIONS”

A unique feature of your calculator is that it will display both actual

fractions and “kitchen fractions” during conversions or recipe scal-

ing calculations. That is, if the answer is 3/4 TBSP, it knows there is

no “3/4” of a tablespoon, or measuring spoon, available to measure

with; instead, it will show the rounded answer (i.e., 1 TBSP). For

more precise measuring, you can then press the [ onv] [/] keys to

display the remainder amount to add or subtract, or simply convert

the value to the next lowest cooking unit (e.g., TSP), to avoid the

remainder altogether.

“Kitchen Fractions,” or whole units or fractions displayed in recipe

scalin calculations or conversions, include:

AVAILABLE KITCHEN FRACTIONS

1 TBSP 1 TSP 1 CUP

1/2 TBSP 7/8 TSP 7/8 CUP

3/4 TSP 3/4 CUP

5/8 TSP 2/3 CUP

1/2 TSP 1/2 CUP

3/8 TSP 1/3 CUP

1/4 TSP 1/4 CUP

1/8 TSP 1/8 CUP

Note: 1/3 TSP, 2/3 TSP, 1/8 TBSP, 1/4 TBSP, 1/3 TBSP, 3/8 TBSP, 5/8 TBSP,

2/3 TBSP, 3/4 TBSP, 7/8 TBSP, 3/8 CUP and 5/8 CUP are not available kitchen

fractions.

User's Guide — 9

If you do not want to view “kitchen” values, you can display actual

values by pressing the cooking unit key again. Important Note: The

calculator will tell you when an actual value is displayed by display-

in the word “Actual.”

See examples below:

Basic Math—Displaying Actual vs. Kitchen Fractions

Find 5-1/2 tbsp [÷] 2:

Keystroke Display

5 1 [/] 2 [tbsp] [÷] [2] [=] 2-3/4 TBSP (Actual Fraction)

[tbsp] 3 TBSP (Kitchen Fraction)*

[tbsp] 2.75 TBSP (Actual Decimal Value)

*Here, the calculator rounded up to a measurin spoon value you can actually meas-

ure with (as there are no “3/4 tbsp” size measurin spoons).

Conversions—Displaying Actual vs. Kitchen Fractions

Convert 2-3/4 tbsp to a “kitchen fraction,” actual decimal value, then

return to the entered value:

Keystroke Display

2 3 [/] 4 [tbsp] 2-3/4 TBSP

[ onv] [tbsp] 3 TBSP (Kitchen Fraction)*

[tbsp] 2.75 TBSP (Actual Decimal Value)

[tbsp] 2-3/4 TBSP (Actual Fraction)

*Here, the calculator rounded up to a unit you can actually measure with.

Recipe Scaling—Actual vs. Kitchen Fractions Displayed

When performing Recipe Scaling using the [Adjust Recipe] key and

the answer is in a fractional format that does not support existin

measurin spoons or cups (see “Available Kitchen Fractions” on pre-

vious pa e), the “kitchen fraction” value will be displayed first. A sec-

ond press of the [Adjust Recipe] key will display the actual fraction

value. A third press will display the actual decimal value.

COOKING UNIT CONVERSIONS

onverting cooking or other weight/volume unit measurements is

quick and easy. To convert cooking units, enter the quantity, press

the cooking unit key/label, and then press the convert [ onv] key.

To enter fractions (e.g., 1/2 cup), use the fraction [/] key.

Also, some units (like gallons) don’t have dedicated keys, but are

second functions of primary keys. These are color-labeled over

various number/digit or other keys. They can be accessed using the

[ onv] key.

Note: It is incorrect to convert volumes to wei hts and vice versa (wei hts vary, e. .,

a cup of flour wei hs less than a cup of water); thus, the calculator will not allow you

to do so. The calculator will display an error and the word “Sorry” if this occurs.

Follow the examples below:

Convert 1-1/2 tsp. to tbsp.:

Keystroke Display

1 1 [/] 2 [tsp] [ onv] [tbsp] 0-1/2 TBSP

Convert 8 fl. oz. to cups:

Keystroke Display

8 [fl oz] [ onv] [cup] 1 CUP

Convert 32 dry oz. to lbs:

Keystroke Display

32 [dry oz] [ onv] [lb] 2 LB
