How do i measure grams of a 100g spice jar?

I have a 100g spice jar i want to measure the contents of the jar.

I have a Weighstation Electronic Platform Scale http://www.nisbets.co.uk/Weighstation-Electronic-P...

I weighed the jar and it says the total weight is 141.5g. I press the tare function and it comes up with -141.5g

I try a spice in the cupboard and it says 46g when i weigh it is reads 160g. When i tare it it reads -160g

I know i have gone wrong somewhere can someone please tell me how to get accurate measurements?

    Can't you just dump the contents onto the scale?
