- Never use the unit outdoor and store in a dry location.
- The unit is not designed for installation in a wall or a built-in cupboard.
- Do not set up the unit in a hot, wet or moist environment.
- The socket has to be easily accessible so that the connecting cable can be removed easily in case of emergency.

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.
DOSE SETTING
The timer can be set using the rotary adjuster on the side of the unit.
Turn the adjuster counterclockwise to shorten the time and grind a smaller
amount of coffee grounds.
Turn the adjuster clockwise to extend the time and grind a higher amount of
coffee grounds.
START-UP
- Plug the connecting cable into the socket.
- Switch on the unit.
MANUAL:
- Check the Manual/Timer activation button. As for manual grinding make sure that this button is not retained.
- Fit the group handle on the group handle holder. Grinding starts when operating the contact switch.
- Keep that switch pressed for grinding.

AUTOMATIC:
- Check the Manual/Timer activation button. As for automatic grinding make sure that button is retained.
- Place the group handle on the group handle holder and press it once against the contact switch.
- Grinding starts automatically when operating the contact switch.
- Once the grinding process has started, the time for the current process cannot be adjusted.

To ensure correct operation of the unit, do not grind more than 160 g coffee
beans per grind.
CLEANING OUTSIDE
Disconnect the mains plug from the socket and let the unit cool. Use a soft
and moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the unit. Use a mild detergent
in case of heavy contamination.
Never clean the unit under running water or immerse it into water.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT!
Old coffee remaining in the unit may lead to oxidation. This condition affects
the result of the preparation; unpleasant and inedible taste may develop. Keep
the unit always in a well-serviced condition in order to ensure perfect
Espresso at all times.
