Page 7: Please Do Not
4. Please Do Not... To keep your warranty active please follow these instructions: • Never fill instant coffee into the grinder or ground coffee funnel; it can damage the functioning of the brewing chamber. • Never fill sugar coated beans into the bean container (see chapter 7.2 and 8.1). •... -
Page 8: Using Oily Beans
Please note: If you use frozen beans, let them thaw for 3 to 4 hours before adding to the bean container. This will prevent moisture from seeping into the grinder. Never use sugar-coated beans. The sugars will stick to the burrs and clog the flow of ground coffee. -
