REGULATING GRINDING

When it leaves the factory the machine has a standard setting, but it may be necessary to adjust grinding further due to various external factors such as the type of mixture used, the humidity, temperature, or the particular distribution requirements of the espresso coffee machine.

The degree of grinding may be further corrected by shifting the grinding adjustment knob (9 Fig. 1) (see Fig. 9).

• To obtain a finer grind, move the grinding adjustment knob in a clockwise direction.
• To obtain a coarser grind, move the grinding adjustment knob in a counter-clockwise direction.

Always take care to move the knob with the motor turning and empty (without coffee between the burrs).

NOTE! It is recommended to grind small amounts of coffee, letting the burrs empty with every regulating attempt, by opening and closing the shutter (8 Fig. 1) each time.

Finer grind: clockwise direction Coarser grind:

Coarser grind: counter-clockwise direction

SETTING THE GRINDING TIMES - see Fig. 10 and Fig. 11

Note: Due to the shape and design of the burrs, for the first use only, a short run-in period of grinding coffee beans is necessary to obtain a consistent weight of the shot.

To change the grinding time of both shots, you must enter the "Time" mode by pressing the button

(13 Fig. 5) in the main screen (in the "Time" screen, if nothing is pressed, after three

seconds you return to the main one).

To set the single shot press the button (1 P 1.5), and for the double shot press the button

Problem	Solution
The appliance does not turn on.	Make sure it is plugged in.Make sure the safety circuit breaker is closed.Check that the main switch of the appliance is ON.If the problem occurs itself after a long period of intensive use or overfilling, the motor could be in thermal protection lock! Wait at least 20 minutes and try again. The waiting time can be reduced by putting the appliance in a cool place.
The coarseness of the grind is not uniform.	Try grinding very coarsely for a few seconds, then return to the correct setting.Call the Technical Assistance Service to check and change the burrs.
The coffee is not coming out of the discharge opening correctly.	Check that the coffee discharge opening is free.
The motor gets blocked.	If the motor gets blocked due to incorrect regulation of grinding or to the presence of a foreign body in the burrs, try increasing to the coarsest grain size by turning the grinding adjustment knob counter-clockwise (9 Fig. 1). If this is not enough, switch off the appliance, disconnect the plug from the socket and consult technically qualified personnel.
