ABOUT GRINDING COFFEE

The proper grind gives the most flavorful cup of coffee. The size of the grind depends on the method by which the coffee is to be brewed. Generally, the finer the grind the more quickly the coffee should be prepared, that is why coffee ground for use in an espresso machine is much finer than coffee to be brewed in a drip system.

Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process - (fine espresso grind used in an automatic drip coffee machine) will result in overextraction and bitter, pungent tasting coffee. Conversely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brewing method will result in under-extraction

and weak, watery coffee. If the correct grind is used, adding more coffee simply makes a brew stronger without making it bitter.

In addition to providing a number of grind settings, coffee grinders provide a consistent grind. This is important to ensure the extraction is consistent across all of the ground coffee particles.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the housing and bean hopper with a clean damp cloth. Wash coffee bean hopper lid, ground coffee container and ground coffee container lid in hot soapy water, then rise and dry.

The ground coffee holder, its lid, and the bean hopper lid can be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.

NOTE: the burr can not be washed and must be kept dry at all times. Clean burr with stiff bristled brush.

• Make certain the coffee grinder is unplugged. Fit the ground coffee container (6) and its lid (7) in their correct position. Check that the assembly is correctly positioned in the body (3).
• Remove the lid of the coffee bean hopper (2/fig. A) and fill the bean hopper to the level desired (1/fig. B). Do not fill above the "max."level. Replace the lid and make certain that it is correctly positioned, pressing it down till the end (fig. C).
  If the lid is not in the correct position the grinder will not work.
  NOTE: This product is designed to grind whole bean coffee only.
• Set the quantity of ground coffee by positioning the cup selector knob (Fig. D) according to the desired quantity.
• Set the ground coffee fineness level by adjusting the ground coffee fineness selector (Fig. E) to the desired level.

• Insert the plug into an electrical socket.

• Press the ON/OFF switch (4) to start the appliance (Fig. F).

• Once the selected quantity has been milled, the appliance will stop automatically.
  If you want to stop the appliance before mil- ling is complete, press ON/OFF switch (4).
• Remove the ground coffee container, tap the receptacle gently, remove the lid and pour the ground coffee into filter of the coffee maker.
  To obtain additional ground coffee, repeat the operating cycle.

Always first make sure that the ground coffe does not go above the "max." level of the ground coffee container (6).

Selected settings will be retained from one use to the next.

IMPORTANT!

For your appliance run correctly, make certain that:

• the lid to the coffee-bean hopper (2) is correctly positioned.
• The ground coffee container (6) and its lid (7) are correctly placed in the body of the appliance.

TIPS

It is best to store coffee beans in a cool, dry place. Beans should be kept in an opaque, airtight container.
Grind the coffee just prior to brewing it.

Advice to select the level of coarseness of your ground coffee.

Use the coarseness selector knob (Fig. E) to adjust the grind according to the type of coffee maker.
Generally, the quicker the water goes through the ground coffee, the finer the ground coffee should be.

A "medium" ground is thus suited to making filter coffee while a "very fine" ground is needed to make an Espresso.

• For the first use, we suggest that you use an intermediate position and then adjust the setting to your taste.
  Once you have used the appliance a few

times, you will find the ideal grind setting to suit your taste and brewing method.

- Do not change the grind setting while the applince is running.
