Choose the location in such a way that children cannot reach the unit.
The unit is not intended for installation in a wall or a built-in cupboard.
Do not set up the unit in a hot, wet or moist environment.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Clean all parts as described in the chapter titled “Cleaning and care”.

Place the coffee bean container on he unit (observe locking mechanism).
Press the coffeebean container down and turn clockwise (approx. 30 deg.).

SETTING OF DEGREE OF GRINDING

The grain size of the coffee grounds can be varied by means of the different settings of the grinding degree.
Precise data on the grinding degree cannot be given as many different factors play a role, such as type of coffee / bean, room temperature, personal taste, etcetera.

In general, it can be said that a finer grinding degree is used for Espresso; for filter coffee a medium grinding degree and for
French Press a coarser grinding degree is set. The finer the grinding degree, the longer the grinding process.
If you use a fine grinding degree, it may happen that the coffee agglutinates. When grinding, slightly tap the lid of the coffee bean container, so that several coffee bean lumps do not block grinding.

GRINDING COFFEE

Insert the plug into the socket.
Place the filter holder retainer on the mount.
Place the filler neck on the outlet.
Fill the coffee bean container with sufficient coffee beans.

Note: Use whole coffee beans only. Fill the coffee bean container with coffee beans in regular intervals. An evenly distributed weight is important in order to ensure smooth grinding.

Press the coffee grounds container or filter holder against the button between the filter holder retainer.
After the requested amount of coffee grounds is reached, pull either the filter holder or the coffee grounds container back.

CLEANING

Old coffee remaining in the unit may lead to oxidation. This affects the taste. The unit should always be in a well-kept condition in order to ensure perfect coffee at all times.
We recommend to clean the unit at least once a week. Prior to cleaning, remove the power plug.

Use a soft and moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the unit. Use a mild detergent in case of heavy soiling.
Remove the coffee bean container; hold the grinding ring; press the bean container down and turn counter-clockwise.
Place the unused beans in an airtight container so keep the flavour.
Clean the coffee bean container and the coffee grounds container in warm water using a little washing-up liquid.
Afterwards, dry the containers well.

CLEANING THE GRINDING MECHANISM

Remove the power plug.
Remove the coffee bean container as described in the chapter titled “Cleaning”
.
Turn the grinding ring to the right as far as possible.
Press the “PUSH” button, and continue to the grinding ring to the right.
When the two arrows point at each other exactly, you can remove the grinding ring together with the upper grinding mechanism. Remove the upper grinding mechanism from the grinding ring.
Clean the lower and upper grinding mechanism with the brush enclosed.
After cleaning, first of all place the grinding ring back on to the motor block (arrow pointing to arrow).
Now place the upper grinding mechanism.
Turn the grinding ring clockwise to the requested grinding degree

Note: In order to test whether the grinding mechanism has been set in correctly, turn the grinding ring to “coarse”, such as level 35, and try to pull out the grinding mechanism by the metal ring.
If the grinding mechanism cannot be removed, it has been installed correctly.

Place the coffee bean container on the unit.

TIPS

Precise recommendations for grinding degree settings cannot be provided due to various factors.
➞ Beans / types of beans react differently (oily, old, freshly ground etcetera).
➞ T he personal taste plays a role as well.
➞ C hoose a finer grinding degree setting for Espresso.
➞ Choose a medium grinding degree setting for filter coffee.
➞ C hoose a coarse grinding degree setting for French Press.
➞ R oom temperature / air humidity have an effect on the cof

fee beans.

The tendency for the correct grinding degree setting for Espresso can be seen by the fact that the coffee grounds start to go lumpy. The coffee grounds are not too lumpy when dropping out; smaller to medium-sized lumps are formed which spread again when dropping out. The coffee grounds have a fine feel.
It is very important to find the right grinding degree for preparing coffee (extraction time). In case of a wrong grinding degree, the coffee cannot be extracted in an ideal way. It is either under or over extracted.
However, there is no “perfect grinding degree”. Everyone should find his or her grinding degree according to his or her taste preferences.
The setting of the grinding degree should also take into consideration the contact pressure and the dosage as well as the roasting degree of the bean used. Some test grinds are necessary here. For this reason the contact pressure and the dosage should be kept constant; the grinding degree should be attuned.
The finer the grinding degree, the longer the grinder needs.
It may happen that the grinding degree has to be corrected after some time because the quality, the moisture content and the freshness of the bean depends very much on the surroundings.
This can be corrected quickly by trying out and adapting the grinding degree and/or contact pressure, if the Espresso run into the cup too quickly or too slowly.
