In case of negative (-) number displayed, meaning not enough patties are in the box to reach the desired weight, it is the operator’s job to then add the required amount of patties to correct the box weight. For example, -03 means to add three (3) patties to the box
In case of positive ( ) number displayed, meaning too many patties are in the box, the operator must remove the number displayed from the box. For example, 03 means to subtract three (3) patties from the box
