PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Clean all parts as described under "Cleaning".

ATTACHING THE BEAN CONTAINER

• Fit the coffee bean container on the unit.
- If necessary, use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the lock screw of the container.
- Open the outlet of the coffee bean container by pulling out the sliding lock.
- Remove the cap of the bean container and fill it with coffee beans.
- Fit the cap.

GROUP HANDLE HOLDER

Place the group handle holder. The group handle holder is height adjustable. To find the right position for the group handle, loosen the screw and adjust the height. Do not loosen completely the screws. The group handle holder can be moved up or down depending on the size of the group handle. When you have found the right size, tighten the screw. The group handle holder fixes the group handle directly under the outlet and allows you to automatically grind into the group handle without holding it.

SETTING THE GRINDING GRADE

IMPORTANT!

The grain size of the coffee grounds can be varied by means of the different settings of the grinding grade.

Precise data on the grinding grade cannot be given as many different factors play a role, such as type of coffee / bean, room temperature, personal taste, etcetera.

In general, a finer grinding grade is set for Espresso; for filter coffee a medium grinding grade and for French Press a coarser grinding grade.

The unit is equipped with a variable grinding grade adjustment

to be set with the rotary knob. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind and turn it anticlockwise for a coarser grind.

Note:

• The finer the grinding grade, the longer the grinding process.
- If you use a very fine grinding grade, it may happen that the coffee agglutinates.
- Adjust the grinding grade by one or two stages at a time while the coffee grinder is running, otherwise the unit may jam.
