Frequently Asked Questions - PCEKM 1205 PROFICOOK

How to adjust the grind fineness?

Use the selection lever (5) located on the grinder. Slide the lever towards the small dots for a fine grind (espresso) or towards the large dots for a coarse grind (plunger machine). The adjustment can be made empty or while operating.

What to do if the device does not start?

First check that the coffee bean hopper is correctly installed and locked: it should click into place. The device has a safety switch that prevents operation if the hopper is not in place. Also ensure the power outlet works.

How to clean the grinder?

Always unplug the device. Remove the bean hopper by turning counterclockwise, then unscrew the grinder lock (3). Clean the upper grinding cone with the provided brush. You can also use a vacuum cleaner to remove powder residues. Reassemble the lock by turning clockwise.

Why does the device stop abruptly?

This may be due to overheating: the thermal protection has triggered. Let the device cool down for at least 30 minutes before using again. Another possible cause is a stuck coffee bean. In that case, unplug, remove the bean hopper and the grinder lock, then remove the foreign object.

Can other foods besides coffee be ground?

No, this device is designed only for grinding roasted coffee beans. It is not suitable for nuts, spices, or other foods, as this could damage the mechanism and void the warranty.

How to choose the amount of coffee to grind?

Use the sliding selector (11) to choose between 2 and 12 cups. The indicator flashes to confirm the setting. Fill the bean hopper accordingly. Grinding stops automatically once the selected quantity is reached.

Is the bean hopper removable?

Yes, the bean hopper (2) is removable. To remove it, turn it counterclockwise. To reattach, align the ▼ symbol with the ▲ symbol and turn clockwise until it clicks.

Can I use the device several times in a row?

It is recommended not to use it more than 5 consecutive cycles. After 5 uses, let the device cool down for about 10 minutes before reusing, to avoid overheating.

How to store the device?

Clean and dry all parts. Store the device in a dry, well-ventilated place, out of reach of children. If not used for a long time, store it in its original packaging.

What to do in case of malfunction or defect?

Consult the 'Troubleshooting' section of the manual. If the problem persists (e.g., the device does not work even though the power supply and safety switch are OK), contact customer service or an authorized technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Switching the Appliance On/Off

NOTE:

The appliance cannot be switched on until a powder volume setting has been selected.

• Press the ⏻ button. The control lamp lights up continuously. The grinding process begins.
• The grinding process finishes automatically.
• You can also finish the grinding process with the ⏻ button at any time.

Short-Term Operation

Only use the appliance in immediate succession for a maximum of 5 times. Allow the appliance to cool down for about 10 minutes before using it again.

Setting the Degree of Grinding

The grinder is gradually adjustable from extra fine to coarse. Observe the symbols for setting the grinding degree. The small dots mean a fine setting and the big dots a coarse setting.

How fine or coarse you grind your coffee depends on the further use of the coffee powder. The type of coffee beans and the roasting process have an additional impact on the taste. With a little practice you will find out which grind setting is right for you. We can give you the following indications:

Grind adjustment Usage
Extra fine Espresso machine
Fine Coffee machine
Medium Hand filter
Coarse	French Press coffee

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In rare cases once selected the finest grind setting maybe the coffee powder is clumping together or correct portion of coffee powder won't be dispensed. At worst, the grinder can be blocked.

This is not a fault of the device but depends on the quality of the coffee beans (fat content, moisture).

• Clean the appliance as described under "Cleaning Grinder".
• Set the grinding degree one or two points coarser for the next grinding process.

NOTE: Avoid blockages of the grinder

Set the grinding degree when the container for coffee beans is completely empty or only during the grinding process.

To change the grinding degree, slide the lever to the desired setting.

Regulator for Setting the Powder Quantity (Number of Cups)

Use the slider to set the amount of coffee that is to be ground. Make sure that there are always enough coffee beans in the container for coffee beans. Choose between 2 and 12 cups of coffee. The control lamp will flash.

The amount of coffee powder per cup depends on your personal taste, the type of coffee and the grinding grade setting.

NOTE: Tip for espresso

Only grind the amount of coffee you are going to use immediately.

Remaining Coffee Beans

Remove the coffee beans from the appliance if they are older than a week. They have lost their aroma and diminish the coffee taste.

TIP:

Store coffee beans in a sealed, air-tight container in the refrigerator. That way, the coffee stays aromatic for longer.

3. Adjust the desired degree of grinding with the lever.
