I see what you mean.

Why not experiment with a known inductance and a series resistor, say
0.1 ohm or several of them in parallel? Try different combinations and
observe the behaviour of your meter.

Puzzling over the instructions I finally tried zeroing the dissipation
control with the DC button and measuring the inductance with the AC button.
That actually seems to work, although the inductance is about 20% off from
my digital meter. However this is an iron cored transformer and perhaps it
is a frequency issue.
