KEY DEFINITIONS
o– On/Clear Key
Turns power on. Pressing once
clears the display. Pressing twice
clears any previously entered value.
co– Off
Turns all power off. Clears all non-
permanent registers.
R- Recall
Recalls stored values (e.g., R r).
0– 9and ¥
Digits used for keying in numbers.
+ - * Ö =
Arithmetic operation keys.
c Ö – Percent
(%)
Four-function percent.
c– Convert
Converts to various unit keys (e.g.,
cooking units, temperature).
c + – Memory
(M+)
Adds displayed value to the standard,
cumulative Memory. (To subtract from
Memory, press a value, then c -
c +).
R+ – Recall Memory

R R – Clear Memory
c - – Change Sign
(+/-)
Changes the sign of the displayed
value from + to - and vice versa.
c * – Clear Recipe Memory
Clears the values entered into the #
of Servings and Portion Size keys, as
these values are stored in Memory
(e.g., remain stored even after you
turn your calculator off).
c * * – Clear All
Clears all stored values, including
Memory, serving and portion sizing.
/– Fraction Bar Key
Used to enter fractions (e.g., 1 /
3 C).
c / – Rnd +/-
(Remainder)
Displays the fractional remainder (if
applicable), due to calculator rounding.
This is an optional calculation and
should be used if you want more pre-
cise measurements. When the calcula-
tor has rounded by more than 5%, the
display will read ^Rnd (it has rounded
up) or vRnd (rounded down). When this
occurs, press c/to display the
remainder. A (+) tells you to add the

additional measurement, and a (–) tells
you to subtract (e.g., c/= + 0-1/2
TSP means you should add an addi-
tional 1/2 Teaspoon of the ingredient).
Note: If you want to minimize rounding
altogether, convert to the next smallest
cooking unit (e.g., if it reads Tablespoons,
convert to Teaspoons).
–Built-in Cooking Timer
Accesses the count up/count down
timer.

are stored permanently, so use

COOKING UNIT CONVERSIONS
Converting cooking or other weight/vol-
ume unit measurements is quick and
easy. To convert cooking units, enter the
quantity, press the cooking unit key/label,
and then press the ckey followed by
the desired unit of measure key. To enter
fractions (e.g., 1/2 Cup), use the / 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 ckey.
Note: It is incorrect to convert volumes to
weights and vice versa (weights vary, e.g., a
cup of flour weighs less than a Cup of water);
thus, the calculator will not allow you to do so.
The calculator will display the word “Sorry” if
this occurs.

Note: If the value entered is not a “kitchen
fraction,” (e.g., 1/3 TBSP) the next press of
the cooking unit key (e.g.,
T
) will display
the rounded “kitchen value” (e.g., 0-1/2 TBSP)
and a third press will display the actual deci-
mal value (e.g., 0.333 TBSP).
RECIPE SCALING
One of the most useful features of the
KitchenCalc
is its ability to adjust
recipes. It calculates new ingredient
amounts when you change the num-
ber of servings a recipe makes (e.g.,
when you want it to serve ten people
instead of only four). This allows you
to cook or bake with precision by
measuring the correct ingredient
quantities. The
KitchenCalc
also lets
you adjust ingredients when you
change a recipe’s portion size (e.g., if
you want to serve 4 oz. portions for
each person, instead of 6 oz.). See
the following examples.
Basic Example
You’d like to make 5 servings of instant
brown rice, but the box only lists a measur-
ing chart for 4 servings (2 cups of rice and
1-3/4 Cups of water). How much rice and
water do you need for five servings?

CHANGING THE NUMBER OF SERVINGS
Increasing Number of Servings
You need your brownie pudding cake
recipe to yield 12 servings instead of 8.
The recipe contains the following ingre-
dients:
– 1-1/4 Cups flour
– 1-1/2 Cups sugar
– 1/2 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 tsp. baking powder
– 3 tbsp. butter or margarine, etc.
