Is the scale calibrated to show 0 with the bowl?

yes, it will show 0 once you place the bowl on and hit the calibrated button again.

The scale calibrates when it turns on. Just turn it off, and then turn it back on again and you should be set. Also, contact Ozeri if you still need the instruction manual.

We have been using the scale 4 months, we have not calibrated it. We used it right out of the box, just make sure to use, on a level flat surface.

Yes it is. Cuisinart should include photo of the bowl with the scale. It's great and it also protects the scale.

No it doesn't come with a weight for calibration. I use a US coin to help me calibrate. You really don't need one for this scale.

yes. just depress the tare button. it will then read zero. when you remove the empty bowl it shall read a negative weight. replace the bowl to get back to zero and when you add the silver grains you shall read a net weight which is the weight of the silver alone. bear in mind that silver is very dense like lead and gold almost, so you do not want to go over the gross capacity of the scale which would be the negative tare value combined with the positive net value for a total of 100.00 g on this model. now another thing to consider is wind and building movement. on a 1/100th g scale just be still for 3 seconds. on a 1/10,1000th g scale you must have an wind proof enclosure. be sure to turn off the boom box before you weigh. this is the best, most accurate, rugged scale of it's type which i have ever owned. right now i'm using it to trade $1000 usc / quart printer ink every day. are you using troy ounces or aravopoulos ounces for your silver? fickle $150 jeweler's scales have built in calculators, carat converters, etc.

It does not require calibration, but it sometimes under-weighs by .1 ounce. I bought a set of 1 oz and 2 oz weights and test it occasionally, especially when I get a reading that is exactly 1, 2, or 3 ounces.

No it doesn't, but it has a tare weight feature where you can place an empty container on the scale and it resets to 0.0. Then as you add ingredients to the container, the scale only reads the weight of the ingredients.

It's easy! You'll notice that below the "On/Off" there is "Tare." Turn scale ON. Put your bowl on scale. Touch TARE, and you'll see the scale does not go off, but just goes to zero. Now you can enter contents to bowl, and get weight of contents. It's a fabulous scale! LOVE it for getting postage weight.

The scale resets at zero upon turning on, which means if you put the food on before pressing the "on" button and take that picture you'll get zero...

No, It only measures by the cup. You can adjust the amount the cup will dispense with a knob so I think you could calibrate, with a scale, the amount that is dispensed by weight. I bought this machine because it is excellent in it's consistency of the grind and the and the amount it dispenses.

any scale can be at sometime. Have you been stepping on it so it registers some weight, then stepping off and waiting until it zeroes? That was my original mistake...not doing this. Was about to toss it, but now it works fine and is consistent

It came calibrated but I also had an old school fool scale that I used to verify the digital scale was correct. There is also an instruction manual.

I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

the bowl is fully removable. you could use the scale without the bowl if you want to.

Yes, if you tare the weight with something on the scale and then take it off, it will tell you the negative weight. (Negative weight meaning what the object on the scale weighted, before taring the scale back to 0.)

I do not believe this unit required calibration. I checked it against some 1 to 4 oz letters I had and it registered correctly. I have used this for up to 13 oz, including flats, and have sent a lot of mail using it. So far, no issues. Good unit for the price.
