  4. xx.x = number value in seconds for t2
     Important: Never fill the bean hopper with already ground coffee. Never place a finger or other items into the coffee bean shute, or the ground coffee discharge funnel.
     Emergency Stop Operation:
     The grinder may be stopped immediately by activating the On/Off switch on the back side of the grinder.

Adjusting the grind

1. Turn the machine on. The bean hopper is filled with coffee beans. Open the lock slide by pulling it outward.
2. Perform a trial grind by activating the grinding button.
3. In case the grind is
   • too coarse, turn the grind level adjuster clockwise (numbers on the scale are getting smaller).
   • too fine, turn the grind level adjuster counter-clockwise (numbers on the scale are getting larger).
4. Please use only small steps when adjusting the grind; only ½ turn of the adjuster.

GRINDING & PROGRAMMING

Fixating the ports filter and adjusting the height
During grinding, the ports filter can be comfortably rested on the porta filter bracket. The bracket can be adjusted for varying porta filter heights by loosening both Allen screws with an Allen key  (2.5mm).

Grinding the portions

• Single Shot – Press the button on the left side
  • In order to get one portion of grounds, just press the grinding button on the left side.
  • In our experience it will take about 3.8 to 4.2 seconds to grind for one espresso.
  • This does depend on the grinding level and the coffee though.
  • The remaining time is shown on the display during grinding.
  • You can stop the grinding process by pressing the button again.
• Double Shot – Press the button on the right side
  • In order to get 2 portions, press the grinding button on the right side.
  • In our experience it will take about 5.7 to 6.2 seconds to grind for two repressive.
  • This does depend on the grinding level and the coffee though.
  • The remaining time is shown on the display during grinding.
  • You can stop the grinding process by pressing the button again.
• Manual Grinding – Keep either grinding button depressed
  • You can manually grind a varying amount of coffee. Keep pressing either one of the grinding buttons until the desired amount of coffee has been ground.
  • “man” is displayed during manual grinding
• Stopping the grinding process – Press one of the grinding buttons
  You can stop the grinding process by pressing either of the grinding buttons during timed grinding.

Programming the individual portions

• Programming the grinding times takes place via the display.
• The time for a single shot (one portion) is programmed in menu item Pt1.
• The time for a double shot (two portions) is programmed in menu item Pt2.

Single Shot

• Press + and – simultaneously until ‘Pt1’ appears on the display.
• Press + in order to reach the submenu of ‘Pt1’.
• Here you can adjust the grind time to a tenth of a second by quickly pressing + or -.
• After a short while, the timer will automatically end programming once adjustment has finished. The new value for “Pt1” is saved. The stand-by display appears again.

Double Shot

• Press + and – simultaneously until ‘Pt1’ appears on the display.
• Press – in order to reach ‘Pt2’.
• Press + in order to reach the sub menu  of ‘Pt2’.
• Here you can adjust the grind time to a tenth of a second by quickly pressing + or -.
• After a short while, the timer will automatically end programming once adjustment has finished. The new value for “Pt2” is saved. The stand-by display appears again.

Display of the quantity counter (Cnt=Counter)

• The quantity counter will indicate the entire amount of ground portions to you. Please note that a double shot will count as two single shots.
• Press + and – simultaneously until “Pt1” appears on the display. Press – twice quickly until “Cnt” is displayed. Press + quickly to reach the sub menu of “Cnt”.
• First the 1000’s (pic. 2) then the 100’s (pic. 3) indicator appear. The grinder in the example first displays “000” and then “020”. This means that 20 single portions, or rather 10 double portions, have been ground so far.
  Important: Press + to exit the display of the quantity counter. The stand-by display reappears.

CLEANING

We do recommend to clean the grinder on a regular basis in order to keep the grinding mechanism functioning properly and to receive even results. Furthermore, you will prevent old coffee residues in the grinding mechanism to affect aroma and taste.

Cleaning of the housing and the bean hopper
Occasionally clean the housing and the tray with a damp cloth. You should clean the bean hopper with a cloth prior to refilling the hopper in order to remove coffee oil residues. These residues can negatively effect the flavor.

Cleaning of the burrs
Please use a grinder cleaner available at your specialty dealer to clean the grinder. Clean the grinder according to instructions.

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

• Should a bean become stuck in the grinding mechanism, you may easily fix this yourself.
  1. Adjust the grind to a coarser degree. Turn the grind adjuster counter-clockwise by two full turns.
  2. Press the the grinding button and grind coffee. The stuck beans should now come loose.
  3. Re-adjust the grind.
• In case the grind setting of your grinder changes autonomously after many grinding procedures, it is most likely that vibrations during grinding have caused the bracket of the grind level adjuster to become loose. Please proceed as follows to correct the problem:
  1. Switch the grinder off and unplug the electrical cord.
  2. Loose the screw of the adjustment of the grinding level (1,5 mm Allen wrench).
  3. Loosen both screws that are, or were, holding the grind adjustment bracket (2.5mm Allen wrench).
  4. Position the bracket as close to the gear wheel as possible and tighten both screws again.
  5. Tighten the screw of the adjustment of the grinding level again.
     Important: Never place a finger or other items into the coffee bean shute, or the ground coffee discharge funnel.
