WARNING

• People with pacemakers or other types of electronic implants

should not use this product because the measuring method of the

resistance might interfere with its good functioning.

• This product is suitable for adults and children of age 10 or older.

If you have any doubt about the use of this product, please consult your

physician.

• The scale uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method

to measure the body fat, the total body water, the bone mass and

the muscular mass.

• BIA = the scale has electrodes measuring the body electric

resistance (muscles offer less resistance than fat, and that can be

correlated with the body weight).

• The integrated computer calculates the body fat and other data

percentages based on age, sex and height.

• This method is quick, sure and accurate and gives a result within 30

seconds.

• The scale has a memory for 10 persons at most, which allows the

whole family to use it without having to re-enter all data at every

use.

Why is measuring the body fat (bf) so important?

For years, obesity has been defined as the presence of

superfluous body fat. It is not a matter of sheer body weight. Some

people have a strong proportion of fat balanced with muscular mass,

and some slim people experience a large increase of body fat.

The body fat is an important part of the human body and it deals with a

certain number of essential tasks: protecting our joints, storing vitamins,

regulating our body temperature. However, fat may contribute to a lot

of stress for the human body (particularly for the cardiovascular system)

and may also lead to diabetes. The goal is not only to reduce fat as

much as possible, but rather to reach and maintain a good rate

between muscular mass and body fat. Therefore, the control of these

two levels, weight and fat, is a fundamental requirement for a good

physical condition and a good health.

Why is water content such an important measure?

6

www.KALORIK.com

EBS 40398 - 200605

After oxygen, water is the most important of the nutritive elements

which the body requires to work efficiently. Water plays an essential role

in almost all bodily functions and contributes notably to regulate the

body temperature, carry nutrients, moisturize and purify the skin,

improve the digestive system, lubricate joints. Every process in our body

is dependent on water and most people do not drink enough water. By

keeping your body liquid level under control, you can react quickly to

regulate fluids when necessary.

MEASURING METHOD

The measuring method accepted by scientists worldwide is called

“Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis”. With this method, a weak and

imperceptible electric current travels through the body (this current is

totally harmless for the human body*). The current, which has the

capacity to circulate more easily through liquid in our muscles than

through fat, goes through the legs and allows measuring the body

electric resistance. This resistance depends on the quantity of water in

the body (our muscles contain about 73% of water).

After measuring the electric resistance, this value can be used to

calculate directly the muscular mass of our lower limbs. Our gender

and our height are taken into account to determine muscular mass as

a whole.

On the contrary, body fat acts as an insulating substance (it reduces

the capacity of the current to go through) and thus cannot be

calculated directly. It is more about determining the measured weight

indirectly using the formula Fat mass = Body weight - Muscular mass.

This method allows us to take the whole-body fat into account. The

water content of the body is measured by the calculation of the 73% of

the muscular mass.

Note: if your user memory is not selected automatically when stepping

on the scale, then first press “SET” and press the ▲ button to choose

your own memory (0-9) and press “SET” 4 times to enter or confirm the

data (the screen displays the memory number, the gender, the height,

the age with each time you press on “SET”.

• Your weight is displayed on the screen (stay on the scales during

the whole process).

• The following screen displays "▫ ▫ ▫ ▫" for a couple of seconds, then

the squares will disappear, and the following will be displayed on

the screen alternatively (twice) with their symbol:

- The body fat percentage (BF),

- The water percentage (TBW),

- The B.M.I. * (Body Mass Index)

- The muscular mass (MM)

- The bone mass (BM) in kg or lb.

- The recommended calorie count

- And then the weight again …

11

www.KALORIK.com

EBS 40398 - 200605

• After displaying the body data analysis twice, the scale will display

the weight again, and lets the user confirm the information again.

After this, the scale will turn off automatically.

Automatic user identification

• If you correctly measured the body data the first time (or last time

you used the scale), the scale will memorize the user’s weight.

When doing the next measurement, the scale will automatically

“recognize” the user and you will not have to enter your personal

data again. This automatic user identification function requires

though that 2 different users have more than 2kg / 4.4 lb. difference

in mass.

• Stand directly on the scale, wait for the weight to stabilize.

• Let the scale display the weight and body analysis measurements,

and display the correct user profile (P0-P9)

• If the weight is similar for 2 users (or more), use the "▲" or "▼" button

to choose your correct profile.

Weighing only

The scale has a step-on function that will only display the weight in case

no user information was entered, or if the weight is too different than

any already-set user’s weight. If you step down after the weight is

displayed, the scale will turn off after a few seconds.

EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS

Remark: If the quantity of body fat is very high or very low, check if the

right measurement system was chosen (male or female), if your feet are

dry and clean and if they are placed correctly on the electrodes. Wet

feet might alter the body fat measurement. If this should happen, step

off the scales and repeat the instructions.

Body fat proportion is an individual characteristic. The figures hereafter

can be used as a rough guide for your fitness profile.

The following charts shows how body data differs from one person to

another and how it depends on gender and age. The figures below are

to be considered as a rough estimate, if you have any doubt, please

consult your physician or dietetics specialist.

EBS 40398 - 200605

Conviene a los adultos y niños de más de diez años.

En caso de que haya duda, dirígese al médico.

La balanza utiliza el método de – Bio-eléctrica Impedancia Análisis -

(BIA) para estimar la grasa corporal, el agua corporal total, la masa

huesuda y la masa muscular.

BIA = La plataforma contiene electrodos que miden la resistencia

eléctrica del cuerpo (los músculos tienen menos resistencia que la

grasa y eso puede ser correlato con el peso del cuerpo.

El ordenador integrado calcula el porcentaje de masa grasa gracias a

la edad, el sexo y el tamaño.

Ese método rápido, seguro y preciso da un resultado en 30 segundos.

La balanza tiene una memoria para 8 personas máximo, lo que le

permite a la familia utilizarlo sin tener que volver a inscribir los datos

cada vez.

¿PORQUE ES TAN IMPORTANTE LA MEDIDA DE

GRASA CORPORAL (%BF)?

Desde hace varios años, la obesidad se define como la presencia de

cuerpo graso superfluo.

No es cuestión de peso corporal en absoluto. Hay gente con una

fuerte proporción de grasa equilibrada por la masa muscular, y hay

gente delgados que tienen una aumentación de los cuerpos grasos.

El cuerpo graso es una parte importante del cuerpo humano y se

carga de varias tareas primordiales: protección de nuestras

articulaciones, almacenaje de las vitaminas, regulación de nuestra

temperatura corporal…

Por lo tanto, la grasa puede contribuir a mucho estrés por el cuerpo

humano (particularmente por el sistema cardiovascular) y puede llegar

también al diabetes.
