   – If the coffee comes out too slowly during preparation (the coffee powder is too fine), turn the grind level selector clockwise until a coarser grind is obtained.
   – If during preparation the coffee comes out too fast and too clear (the coffee powder is too coarse), turn the grind level knob anticlockwise until a finer grind is obtained.

Tips

1. Do not overfill the bean container or use beans that are too long, otherwise the quality of the coffee and the performance of the grinder will be affected, and the beans will become wet (especially in humid environments).
2. Do not overfill the bean container or leave the coffee beans inside for a long time so that they do not get too wet and lose freshness (especially on humid days). Moisture will affect the grind, brew and taste of the coffee.
3. If the coffee beans are wet, empty the container and fill it with fresh coffee beans for better taste. Turn the grind level knob to maximum and try grinding the coffee beans. If the coffee machine is working properly, return the knob switch to its original position.
4. If the coffee beans do not grind properly, it is possible that the coffee beans are too wet or that there is too much coffee bean oil accumulated inside. In the latter case, add grinder cleaner to the bean container and try grinding. If the grinder is working properly, return the grind level knob to its original position. If not, repeat the process until it works properly. Perform several “Clean/Rinse” cycles after using grinder cleaner.
