A Word of Caution

Please be careful using a Xiaomi Bluetooth scale, namely - do not put it in direct contact with hot things, and be careful to not shutter the glass. I'm not responsible for whatever damage or injury that may happen as a result of your use of a Xiaomi Scale, or any other instrument.
