General Description

UNPACK and INSTALLATION:

Warning: Grinder’s entire technical handling operations such as installation, maintenance, or service should be performed by certified personnel or by your local dealer.

• After opening the box, make sure that the grinder is intact and that there is no visible damage. If there is any doubt, DONOT use the grinder and call your local dealer for further assistance.

• Unpack the carton box carefully. For your convenience we suggest storing all packaging materials where they can be used in the future, whenever the grinder’s transportation is necessary.

• Place the grinder on a stable flat counter in a dry area away from water or water splashes.

• Position the coffee residue tray underneath the body in front of the appliance.

• Before installing the beans hopper, please take few seconds to identify the beans hopper, silicone ring and hopper’s locking screw.

• Install the beans hopper firmly into its position on top of the body inside the top grindstone holder.

• Fasten the hopper to the grinder body by the locking screw. (Fig.4.3) Make sure that the screw is inserted completely through both holes in the hopper and in the top grindstone holder.
  

• The Hopper locking screw is a SAFETY DEVICE. Before removing the hopper disconnect electric power cord.

• Never try to operate the grinder if the beans’ hopper is not fully secured in its position.

• Before plugging in the electrical cord, make sure:

  • The grinder voltage and frequency rating (according to the bottom cover label) is the same as the supply mains.
  • The wall socket is fitted with an efficient ground contact. DONOT plug the grinder into the supply mains if the ground system was not positively checked to be in compliance with current safety rules.
  • The power/current consumption of the grinder (according to the backside label) is consistent with the capacity of the relevant main socket.
  • The main socket is protected against short outs and power surges.
  • Do not use extension cables, plug adapters for multiple sockets, or make shift connections.

• IT IS COMPULSORY TO EARTH THE GRINDER. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible if this requirement was not complied with.

• Plug in the grinder.

• Upon first time operation, and before placing beans in to the hopper, VISUALLY check that the grindstone rotation direction is clockwise by switching the grinder ON for a few seconds.

• Should the rotation direction be wrong, do not use the grinder and contact your local dealer for further instructions.

OPERATION

Grinding coffee with HC-600 On Demand Grinder:

The grinder is equipped with a 2-state power switch ON-OFF. (Fig 5.1). Switch ON the grinder by turning the main knob to direction from Off position to ON position. Switch OFF the grinder by turning the main knob back to OFF point.

Before start grinding coffee please spend few minutes to learn and understand the concept of the ODGV1 on demand grinding controller (Fig 5.2)

Operational Modes:
The ODG V1 can be operated in 3 pre-dosed modes. Activating (or deactivating) each one of the modes, is achieved by single short pressing on the relative mode button. Once activated the LED will turn on.

• Single cup mode, in single cup mode press on the demand switch (Fig 5.3) to activate the grinder release it to stop grinding or press till time elapses. (pre-dosed time change achieved by time set dial) Alternatively press the mode selector button continuously for longer than 2 sec, to grind the entire pre dosed without using the demand button.
• Double cup mode, in double cup mode press on the demand switch (Fig 5.3) to activate the grinder release it to stop grinding or press till time elapses. (pre-dosed time change achieved by time set dial) Alternatively press the mode selector button continuously for longer than 2 sec, to grind the entire pre dosed without using the demand button.
• Triple cup mode, in single cup mode press on the demand switch (Fig 5.3) to activate the grinder release it to stop grinding or press till time elapses. (pre-dosed time change achieved by time set dial) Alternatively press the mode selector button continuously for longer than 2 sec, to grind the entire pre dosed without using the demand button.
• JOG Button, pressing the JOG button will allow the user to incrementally correct the amount of coffee powder in the filter basket holder.
  

Programming grinding time for single/ double/ triple cup mode:
The grinder was factory set with time values for single/ double/ triple dose grinding periods. These preset values are obviously estimated, user should set his own times according the coffee grinding request. In general, as the grind size setting is coarser, the grinding time of same desired dose, is shorter. Additionally, different type of coffee blends and coffee shops are requiring different dose size for their cups (6.5-9.5gr per single cup. 11-18gr for double cup. 14-24gr triple cup). The HC-600 ODG supports user’s need to modify grind time setting frequently.

To modify time setting of any of the preset modes, please follow these steps:
On any selected mode (LED is ON) The display shows your current set time (in seconds and tents of seconds). To increase or decrease set time value, rotate the time setting dial knob. New time value will blink, confirm the new time by pressing the relative mode selector button. If not confirming, then after3 seconds the time setting will return to the previous setting.

Hands free:
The grinder equipped with “hands free” feature to allow easier grinding operation. The “hands free” function can be adjusted according the porta filter size.You can loose two sides screw to adjust the porta folter holder by 2.5mm hexgon screw driver, the demand active screw also can be adjusted by 2mm hexgon screw driver.Both of the screw driver will be provided in tooling bag.

Dose counting DISPLAY:
The HC-600 ODG V1 grinder is equipped with 3 independent dosing counters.

• To view the content of each counter, a single press on the counter’s selector will display the next counter’s content and at the same time the relative counter’s LED will turn on.
• 2 of the counters are resettable (middle and right side); the zero reset can be achieved by 5 sec continues press on the counter selector will zero the relative counter.
• On single cup mode each coffee demand will increase the counting on all the 3 counters in 1.
• On double cup mode each coffee demand will increase the counting on all 3 counters in 2.
• On triple cup mode each coffee demand will increase the counting on all 3 counters in 3.
• Pressing the Jog button will not be counted.

Grind size setting adjustment

• The grinding blades’ distance was factory pre adjusted to satisfy different common coffee grinds (from super fine to coarse) corresponding gap distance from 0.05mm to 0.75mm.
• Turning the grinding dial incrementally counterclockwise will make the grind finer and turning it clockwise will make the grind coarser. (Fig 5.5)
• Grind a small amount of coffee and test its coarseness with your espresso machine.
• As coffee beans’ qualities and characteristics are changing from time to time it is recommended repeating this adjustment once in a while.
  

SAFETY DEVICES

A) Thermal overload protection
To eliminate the risk of fire, the motor is equipped with an overheat protection device which will cutoff the motor’s power supply should it reach a high temperature.

• In the event that the thermal protection is tripped as a result of malfunction (e.g.: jammed grindstones, worn out bearings, foreign object in grinding chamber, etc.) the grinder main switch should be turned off immediately and the main power plug must be disconnected. For further handling of the device contact your local service provider, and allow the grinder to cool down before any further maintenance.
• In the event that the thermal protection is tripped as a result of a long continuous operation (read section 5, for operating intervals) allow the grinder to cool down and reset the thermal cutoff protection by unplugging the main cable from the socket. On the first operation after resetting a tripped overheat protection device observe the grinding quality and noise level, and if there are any irregularities shut down the grinder and call a certified technician for a complete analysis of the grinder.

B) Grinding chamber hopper fixing screw
The grinding chamber is a hazardous area if the proper precautions aren’t observed. To avoid any hand contact with running grindstones. Do not attempt to operate the grinder without the hopper is fully placed and fixed in its position by hopper’s fixing screw (Fig 4.3).
