PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Controls after transport

After removing the packaging, make sure the product is complete and undamaged and that all accessories are present.

Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged.

Contact the Technical Assistance service.

Connecting the appliance

Important! Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance.

Only connect the appliance to a correctly installed socket with a minimum capacity of 10A and that is supplied with an efficient earth connection.

If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified professional.

USING THE APPLIANCE

• Place the appliance on a flat surface.
• Turn the container lid in an anti-clockwise direction and lift it (fig. 1).
• Pour the desired amount of coffee beans into the container (fig. 2).
• Tighten the lid by turning it fully home in a clockwise direction (fig. 3). A safety device prevents switch-on if the lid is not well inserted.
  Do not attempt operation without the cover being in place.
• Extract the necessary amount of wire and introduce the plug into the socket (fig. 4).
• In the models provided, turn the selection knob (E) onto the amount of coffee that cor-

responds to the number of cups for which the beans must be ground (fig. 5). However, use this only as a reference, as the amount will vary according to taste, the type of roasting of the coffee beans, as well as the selected grinding level: in any case, never fill above the MAX level embossed on the coffee container.

• Press the lid to activate the coffee grinder (fig. 6) and hold it down until the desired level of grinding is obtained.
• In the models with grind setting indicator lights (F) (coarse, medium, fine), press the lid and release it when the indicator light relative to the desired grind setting switches on. Remember that once the lid is released, even for an instant, the appliance resets and considers the start of grinding as if containing whole beans.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

• Always keep the lid of the bean container closed hermetically in order to preserve the flavour and the aroma of the coffee beans.
• Only grind the amount of coffee necessary at the time.
  • Never overfill the bean container.
  As per general indications, consider one tablespoon of beans per cup (e.g. 4 spoons of coffee beans for 4 cups). Naturally, optimal amounts, defined on the basis of personal taste, will be identified with time.
• For the models with grind setting indicator lights, consider that:
  “COARSE” grinding is ideal for percolators; “MEDIUM” grinding is ideal for drip and moka pots;
  “FINE” grinding is ideal for espresso coffee machines.
• A minute must pass before successive use in order to prevent the appliance overheating.
• Always clean the appliance after use to guarantee good quality in terms of coffee freshness, especially when grinding coffee after having ground other foodstuffs (e.g. sugar). Do not grind oil seeds (e.g. peanuts) or hard products (e.g. rice).

CLEANING

Danger of electric shock! Before performing any cleaning operations, the machine must be turned off and disconnected from the mains power supply. Never immerse the coffee maker in water.

• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Wash the cover using water and neutral detergent.
• Rinse and dry well.
• The bean container can be extracted to make cleaning easier. Turn it clockwise to release and then lift upwards (fig. 7).
• Remove ground coffee residues using the brush supplied with the appliance (fig. 8). Do not place the bean container in water; damage will be caused.
• To re-insert the container, turn it anti-clockwise until it blocks.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance using a soft cloth.
• When putting the appliance away, rewind the power supply cable using the appropriate cable-winder (D).
