• Do not reach into the grinding container and the grinder shaft and do not insert any objects when the device is in operation!
• Make sure that the connecting cable does not present a trip hazard. The connecting cable should not hang down from the surface on which the device is placed in order to prevent the device from being pulled down.

WARNING – Danger of Fire

• Do not operate the device in the vicinity of combustible materials. Do not place any combustible materials (e.g. cardboard, paper, wood or plastic) in or on the device.
• Do not cover the device during operation.

NOTICE – Risk of Damage to Material and Property

• The device should only be used if it has been correctly assembled! Check before each use whether the collecting container, the grinding container and the lid have been placed on correctly and whether the grinding container is filled correctly (note the MAX marking)!
• Do not move the device during the grinding process.
• Switch off the device and pull the mains plug out of the plug socket if an error occurs during operation, when there is a power cut or before a thunderstorm.

• Never pull or carry the device by the connecting cable. When you pull it out of the plug socket, always pull on the mains plug and never the mains cable!

• The device is not designed to be operated with an external timer or a separate remote control system.

• Protect the device from heat sources, naked flames, sub-zero temperatures, persistent moisture and impacts.
• Use only original accessories from the manufacturer in order to guarantee that there is no interference that may prevent the device from working and to avoid possible damage.

Before Initial Use

I. Remove all packaging materials and any possible protective films used for protection during transportation. Never remove the rating plate and any possible warnings!
2. Before you first enjoy any freshly ground coffee beans, we recommend that you carry out a trial run to remove any possible production residues. To do this, follow the instructions in the "Handling and Operation" chapter. Do not use this coffee powder!

When the device is first used, production-related additives (e.g. grease) may cause a small amount of smoke and / or an odour to be produced. This is normal and not a device defect.

1. Clean the device and accessories (see the "Cleaning and Storage" chapter).

Setting Up and Connecting the Device

PLEASE NOTE

• The surfaces of furniture may possibly contain elements which can attack and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place a suitable pad below the feet.
• Always set up the device with a clear space at the sides (at least 20 cm) and clear space above it (at least 30 cm) on a flat, solid, non-sensitive surface.
• Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed and matches the technical data of the device. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated.
• Lay the connecting cable in such a way that it does not become squashed or bent and does not come into contact with hot surfaces.

I. Place the device in a suitable location, following the safety notices and the notices provided at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Fully unwind the mains cable and insert the plug into a plug socket.

Handling and Operation

Adding Coffee Beans

I. Remove the lid (7) from the grinding container (8).
2. Fill the grinding container with coffee beans (approx. 160 g). Do not overfill it!

Please Note: The MAX marking on the grinding container tells you how many coffee beans you need to add so that, even with the coarsest grinding fineness (12-15) and the maximum quantity of coffee (S), you still do not need to add any more during the grinding process.

1. Place the lid back on the grinding container.

When you switch to another type of coffee, there will still be coffee powder from the previous type in the grinder shaft (1). The grinder shaft may need to be cleaned beforehand (see the “Cleaning and Storage” chapter – “Cleaning the Grinder Shaft”).

Setting the Grinding Fineness

Twist the grinding container (8) to the right or left until the scale mark on the grinding container points to the position with the grinding fineness you want on the display (10).

Fifteen different levels can be chosen:

– all the way to the left (FINE): finest grinding level
– all the way to the right (COARSE): coarsest grinding level

Grinding Levels

Level 1 – 4 (Fine) – ideal for manually brewed “Turkish” coffee or espresso portafilter machines

Level 5 – II (Medium) – ideal for manual filter coffee and for filter coffee machines

Level 12 – 15 (Coarse) – ideal for use with French press or cold brew coffee

When you switch to another grinding strength, there will still be coffee powder with the previous grinding strength in the grinder shaft (1). The grinder shaft may need to be cleaned beforehand (see the “Cleaning and Storage” chapter – “Cleaning the Grinder Shaft”).

Grinding the Coffee Beans

1. Make sure that the collecting container (6) fits correctly in the motor unit (3). When it is inserted, you must hear it engage in place.
2. Make sure that there are sufficient coffee beans in the grinding container (8) and fill it if necessary (see "Adding Coffee Beans").
3. Set the grinding fineness you want (see "Setting the Grinding Fineness").
4. Turn the coffee quantity dial (2) clockwise to the quantity of coffee powder you want (can be seen on the coffee quantity display ⏚ - ⏚).

Note that with a coarse grinding fineness setting you will get more coffee powder than with a fine grinding fineness setting.

The grinder (I) starts the grinding process.

- Ⓢ 1 - 4 cups

Once the grinding process has finished, you will hear a beep and the grinder stops.

Notice: For technical reasons, a mechanical toothed wheel in the dial will continue to run for a short while. This is not a defect.

1. Pull the collecting container forwards out of the motor unit.

The freshly ground coffee can now be processed further.

To obtain a successful result, you should keep a very close eye on the ratio of coffee powder to water. If the water content predominates, the coffee loses its taste. If in turn you use too much coffee powder, the coffee becomes too strong. We recommend that you start off with 15 g of coffee per 250 ml of water for a standard filter coffee. The dosing does of course vary just like tastes vary from person to person and from speciality coffee to speciality coffee, so you need to slowly get to know your own ideal ratio.

Cleaning and Storage

PLEASE NOTE

- Do not use any toxic, corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents or scouring sponges to clean the device. These may damage the surface.

• Tap out the collecting container (6) and its lid, the grinding container (8) and the lid (7) and clean everything with the cleaning brush that is supplied or wipe with a cloth. If they are very dirty, detergent and warm water can be used.
• All parts must be completely dry before they are reinserted and used or stored away.
• Wipe down the motor unit (3) with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little detergent to remove more intense soiling.
• Check the connecting cable regularly for any damage.
• Store the device and all accessories in a dry, clean, frost-free place that is protected from direct sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.

Cleaning the Grinder Shaft

I. Twist the grinding container (8) towards Grinding fineness 15 so that the scale mark on the grinding container extends a little beyond the mark on the motor unit (3) and pull the grinding container up at the same time.
2. Clean the grinder shaft (I) on the inside with the cleaning brush that is supplied.
3. Place the grinding container on the motor unit so that the scale mark on the grinding container and the mark on the motor unit overlap. Press down the grinding container and twist it clockwise. It now fits correctly on the motor unit again.

Troubleshooting

If the device does not work properly, check whether you are able to rectify the problem yourself. If the problem cannot be solved with the steps that are listed, contact our customer service department.
