Adjusting the Grinds

1. Empty the hopper of coffee beans and run the grinder to clear the grinding burrs of coffee.

PROGRAMMING

PROGRAMMING THE ISLG

NOTE: Before reprogramming the ISLG, the factory timer settings may be all you need.

The factory settings: The SMALL grind button is set for 5 seconds (1.3 oz). The LARGE grind button is set at 15 seconds (3.8 oz). On the ISLG -13, there is an additional MEDIUM button that is set for 10 seconds.

1. Open timer cover (behind hopper). Find the timer and move the switch from RUN to PROGRAM.
2. Use a stopwatch (recommended) or sweep second hand to time your batches. It is usually quicker to optimize the SMALL button first. You will then have a more accurate start point for optimizing the other grind button[s].
3. Place an empty filter and cone under the grinder. With your stopwatch ready, press and hold the SMALL front panel button for the desired number of seconds. Weigh the grounds. Record the time and weight. If you are below your target weight, you can reinsert the filter and add time in small increments by pressing and holding the same button. Weigh again and add time as desired to reach your target weight. When you are satisfied with the amount, switch the timer back to RUN and re-grind to test the time and weight. Write down the results.
4. When the time/weight programming is completed, install the front cover.

NOTE:
Time settings in this table are only approximate. Amounts will vary with grind texture and specific coffee bean. Weigh your output, then make adjustments as necessary.

SETTING TIMER ON SLG GRINDER

1. Take off the timer cover (behind the hopper) removing four screws. Locate timer.
2. Timer controls are one high/low switch, allowing you to select a scale on the timer dial; the outside scale range is .5 through 15, inside scale range is 2 to 60.
3. Test adjustment by grinding some coffee. When the amount is satisfactory, reinstall the timer cover.
