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 the Grinding Mechanism
We recommend to clean the grinder with our special ECM grinder cleaner every 4
weeks. This special cleaner is made out of food-save materials.
Please proceed as follows (here illustrated with the S Automatic 64):
Empty the bean hopper, for example by grinding the remaining beans or by loosening the safety screw and emptying out the bean hopper.
|
---|---
PLEASE NOTE: When replacing the bean hopper, make sure that the holes are aligned. Otherwise you will damage the bean hopper if you screw in the safety screw.
| 
Empty the grinding mechanism by grinding the remaining beans.
Adjust the grind by choosing a coarser setting because the cleaning granules will not be ground otherwise.
Fill the bean hopper with one packet of the grinder cleaner.
| 
Grind the cleaning granules and catch them with the grinder lid for example.
Fill the ground granules back into the bean hopper.
Repeat this process 3 or 4 times. When the granules turn brown you can throw
them out.
| 
---|---
Unplug the grinder and take off the bean hopper and clean the burrs with a brush. You may use a vacuum cleaner as well.
Clean the bean hopper incl. the lit and set it back onto the grinder.
Make sure that the holes are aligned (see above) before screwing in the safety screw.
Refill the bean hopper with coffee beans.
| 
Re-adjust the grind setting.
Grind a portion of beans and throw them out.
Your grinder is operational again.
| 
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 damp cloth prior to refilling the hopper in order
to remove coffee oil residues. These residues can negatively effect the
flavour.
Cleaning of the Burrs
- It is very tough to unscrew the burr bracket, due to the fine thread. There is a risk of injury.
- Please make sure no coffee grounds remain in the thread, since it will not be able to be screwed together.
Close the bean hopper with the lid and grind the remaining beans still in the
hopper. Unplug the grinder and unscrew the safety screw of the bean hopper.
Remove the bean hopper. Please note that the hopper latch has to be
closed.
Loosen the screws of the grinder scale with an Allen wrench (2.5mm).
Remove the grinder scale.
| 
---|---
Unscrew the bracket of the upper burr. Please note that it may take some force to do so.
Clean the burrs and the threads with a brush. You may use a vacuum cleaner as well.
| 
Make sure, before replacing the individual parts, that all components are very clean.
Please make sure that no coffee grounds remain in the threads, since it will not be able to be screwed back together if this is the case. A drop of silicone based oil on the thread and on the O-ring of the removed bracket makes it easier to reinstall the bracket.
For faster assembly, turn the upper burr by hand to the lower one. Then, from this position, back again in about a ½- ¾ turn.
Next reassemble the grinder dial.
Readjust the chosen grind level while the grinder is in use.

TIPPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Should a bean become stuck in the grinding mechanism, you may easily fix this yourself.
- Adjust the grind to a coarser degree. Turn the grind adjuster counter-clockwise by two full turns.
- Press the portafilter against the grinding button and grind coffee. The stuck beans should now come loose.
- Re-adjust the grind.
In case the coffee shute of your grinder is plugged due to too fine a grind (depending on temperature, humidity, fat and oil content of the respective coffee), please take the following steps to solve the problem:
- Switch the grinder off, switch in „off“ position. Unplug the power chord.
- Close the side bar of the bean hopper, so that no further beans can drop into the grinding area of the grinder.
- Insert a suitable tool into the grounds shute of the grinder (e.g. an espresso spoon, the shaft of the grinder brush) and entirely clean out the grounds which have plugged the shute.
- The grounds may have collected in the corners of the shute as well and should be cleaned out.
- Remember or note the current grind setting on the number scale. Increase the grind setting by one number, so the beans remaining in the grinding section can pass through without resistance.
- Plug the power chord of the grinder back in and turn on the grinder.
- Start the grinding process as usual by activating the grind switch. The remaining coffee grounds should now come out of the shute easily. Manually clean the entire shute with a suitable tool again (unplug the power cord). Activate the grind switch until no further grounds come out. If need be, manually clean the shute again.
- Open the slide bar of the bean hopper.
- Re-calibrate the grind setting with the grinding time as required during the next few grinds. A coarser grind can be compensated by using more ground coffee or by tamping harder.
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:
- Switch the grinder off and unplug the electrical cord.
- Loosen both screws (2.5mm Allen wrench), that are, or were, holding the grind adjustment bracket.
- Position the bracket as close to the gear wheel as possible and tighten both screws again.
