GENERAL SAFETY RULES

• The packing elements (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, nails, cardboard, etc.) must not be left within the reach of children, as they are potential sources or danger.

• Check that the data on the machine corresponds to those of the electrical supply network, before connecting the equipment.

• It is inadvisable to use adapters, multiple sockets and/or extensions. When their use is indispensable, only products with certificate of quality (e.g. IMQ, VDE, +S, etc.) may be used. Check that the voltage capacity limit indicated on the adapters exceeds the absorption capacity (A = ampere) of the equipment.

• In doubt, request an accurate check of the plant by qualified personnel. The wiring system must comply with the following safety regulations:
  – efficient earth connection;
  – section of conductors suitable for absorption capacity
  – efficient earth leakage protection circuit breaker.

• Do not install the machine in the proximity heat sources (oven, cooking stove, fireplace, etc.) and in conditions in which the temperature may not go below 5°C. IT  MUST BE PROTECTED AGAINST FREEZING CONDITIONS.

GRINDING (Fig.5)

The coffee grinder is tested by the manufacturer with an approximate grinding adjustment. It is recommended to re-adjust the grinding accoding to your requirements and  the kind of coffee to be used.

• With the motor off and the bean container empty, press adjustment button (4) and turn the container (1) in a clockwise direction until the grinders touch;
  Never press grinding adjustment stop button (4) when the machine is operating.

• Now turn the container 6/7 notches in an anticlockwise direction and release button (4), ensuring that it is perfectly blocked;

• Start up the motor using switch (2) and only for SD model also press button (3) to make sure that the grinders do not touch each other;

• Should the grinder scrape against each other, immediately turn the machine off and turn the container 2/3 notches in an anti-clockwise direction.

• Switch off the machine, open tank (1), pour a small quantity of coffee beans into it and grind using switch (2); then, for SD model, button (3).

• Prepare a coffe, checking the delivery time, which should be between 25 and 30 seconds for the best grinding;

• Check coffee quality and taste considering that coarse grinding produces light coffee without cream, whereas too fine grinding produces strong, dark cofee without cream;

• If the coffee does not meet your requirements, adjust the grinding by turning the container in a clockwise direction for fine grindings and in an anticlockwise direction for coarse grindings (Fig.5);

• Repeat this operation until you get the quality of coffee you wish.
  The machine does not need new adjustments when using the same kind of coffee; if you change th kind of coffee, re-adjustments must be made to the grin- ding.

Mod. ROCKY (Fig.6)

• After setting the desired grinding level, place the filter holder into its seat and act on lever (7) to dispense the ground coffee directly into the coffee filter.
  Press once for one-cup filter and twice for two-cup filter.
  It is recommended to grind the quantity of coffee that is immedialely needed. When ground coffee is left for too long, it looses its freshness and fragrance. Never grind  already ground coffee.

Mod. ROCKY SD (Fig.7)

• After setting the desired grinding level, place the filter holder into its seat and act on lever (3) to dispense the ground coffee directly into the coffee filter.
  Keep the button pressed until the desired dose is obtained.
