Introduction

  • The FPG-2 DBC is a coffee grinder designed for commercial use.

  • It features two hoppers that can each hold up to three pounds of whole bean coffee. The grinder will automatically grind the coffee to a preset grind and amount, which can be dispensed into a funnel and filter for use with commercial drip coffee brewers. The equipment is intended for indoor use and should be placed on a sturdy counter or shelf. Sufficient space must be available above the grinder to raise the lids when adding beans. Only use whole bean coffee with this grinder.

  • User Notices
    It is important to carefully read and follow all notices on the grinder and in the manual for your own safety. Ensure that all notices on the grinder are kept in good condition and replace any unreadable or damaged labels.

  • Personal Injury Hazard: Keep fingers and foreign objects out of the hopper or chute opening.

Electrical Requirements
This grinder has an attached cordset and requires the following electrical specifications:

  • Domestic Grinders: 120 volts AC, 15 amp, single phase, 60 Hz
  • International Grinders:
    • Most International Grinde rs: 230 volts AC, 10 amp, single phase, 50 Hz
    • Some International Grinders: 100 volts AC, 15 amp, single phase

Operating Controls
The FPG-2 DBC grinder features the following operating controls:

  • Grind Pad (a): Pressing GRIND initiates a timed grind cycle.
  • Stop Pad (b): Pressing STOP ends the operation of the grinder.
  • Hopper/Batch Selector Pads (d): These pads are located on the funnel depictions on each side of the grinder with a total of 6 pads.

  • NOTE : Replacement parts or service caused by failure to perform required maintenance is not covered by warranty

6-Month
Weekly Cleaning plus replace the dechaffer assembly.

1-Year

  1. On grinders with slide plates check the slide plates and clean.
  2. Inspect and clean/replace burrs and grind chamber if necessary.
  3. Adjust the burrs and grind time to your specifications for particulate size and throw weight.

COFFEE GRINDING

  1. Visually inspect the selected hopper for an ample supply of whole bean coffee.
  2. Carafe Brewin g: Place a paper filter into brew funnel. Insert funnel into rails and push until it stops.
  3. French Press: Place French Press on grinder base and push towards rear until it stops.
  4. Choose the batch size and side of grinder to use.
  5. Press GRIND. The grinding action will stop automatically after the preset amount of ground coffee is dispensed into the funnel.

ADJUSTMENTS

The grind can be set from very fine to very coarse. The amount may be adjusted for use in most commercial coffee brewers. The following procedures should be used to make adjustments. A change in the burr adjustment will also change the amount dispensed. Any adjustment of the burrs should be followed by an adjustment of the timer

Burr Adjustment

  1. Unplug the grinder and empty all beans from the hoppers.
  2. Plug in the grinder, press and release GRIND (with either hopper selected). Run a few grind cycles until all of the coffee in the grind chamber is used.
  3. Remove funnel with filter and carefully tip the grinder over on its back.
  4. Press GRIND and slowly turn the adjusting screw in a clockwise direction until a metallic whine is heard due to the rubbing of the grinding burrs. (It may be necessary to start more than one grind cycle to obtain this sound.)
  5. Make a mark with a pen on the decal to note the position of the arrow on the grind adjustment screw.
  6. The following settings approximately correspond to the CBC recognized grinds. All are referenced from the arrow position noted in #5.
    • FINE GRIND : Rotate the adjusting screw 7 hash marks in a counter clockwise direction. DRIP
    • GRIND: Rotate the adjusting screw 8 hash marks in a counter clockwise direction.
    • REGULAR (COARSE) GRIND: Rotate the adjusting screw 10 hash marks in a counter clockwise direction.
      NOTE : Exact adjustment will vary according to bean roast or added flavoring.

TIMER ADJUSTMENT (CONTROL BOARD)

Three different batch settings are selectable for each hopper. Each batch is independently adjustable by setting the length of time a slide gate opens to allow beans to drop into the grinding chamber. A second time setting for each batch determines how long the grind motor continues to run after the slide gate closes. This time is set long enough to insure that all the beans dropped into the grind chamber are ground and dispensed.

  1. Determine the grind setting. (The factory setting is drip, to determine other settings, refer to the previous section.)
  2. Use the table below to find approximate timer setting for the amount of coffee desired.
  3. To enter the setup mode and make an adjustment, press and hold the hidden programming pad under the ®. One of the batch indicators will begin to flash off and on. At this point, release the ® button.
  4. Push the hopper/batch selector button for the batch to be adjusted. Note that the digital display shows the current slide gate time setting (in seconds)
  5. To increase the time, press GRIND. To decrease, press STOP.
  6. To change the chamber clean-out time, press the same batch button again and note that the indicator light begins to blink more rapidly and the display shows the current clean-out time.
  7. To increase the time, press GRIND To decrease it, press STOP.
  8. After the cleanout time has been entered, press another batch pad and repeat steps 4 to 7.Otherwise, to exit the programming mode, press and release the ® pad and the grinder returns to the normal operating mode, using the new settings.
    NOTE : While in the setup mode, if no buttons are pushed for 60 seconds, the grinder will return to normal operations, retaining any settings made while in the setup mode.
  • Approximate Amount (in Ounces)
    • 1- 1/2 2
    • 2- 1/2 3
  • Timer Settings (in Seconds) 2.5
    • 4.5
    • 7.5
    • 10.5

These times are for medium roast, regular grind coffee. Roast of coffee and grinds size will vary timer setting.
