Adjusting The Coffee Dose - Gaggia SYNCRONY COMPACT Operating Instructions Manual

ENGLISH
• Follow the instructions below to dispense
coffee, hot water or steam and use the ap-
pliance correctly.
5 THE COFFEE GRINDER (FIG.10)
Caution! Only turn the grinding control
knob, found inside the coffee bean con-
tainer (Fig.10), when the coffee grinder is
working. Do not insert ground and/or instant
coffee in the coffee bean container.
Do not insert anything other than coffee beans
in the container. The coffee grinder contains
dangerous moving parts; keep fi ngers and/or
other objects away. Before carrying out any
operations in the coffee bean container, switch
OFF the ON/OFF switch (7) and remove the
plug from the wall outlet. Do not insert coffee
beans when the coffee grinder is working.
The quality and the taste of your coffee de-
pend, in addition to the used blend, also on
the grinding coarseness.
The appliance comes with a grinding adjusting
knob (Fig.10). To use this feature, turn the
graduated knob when the coffee grinder is
working; the numbers displayed on the knob
indicate the grinding coarseness.
The manufacturer sets the knob to an ave-
rage grinding coarseness in the factory: if
the ground coffee is too fi ne, turn the knob
toward the higher values; if the ground coffee
is too coarse, turn the knob toward the lower
values.
You will note the change only after pouring
three /four coffees.
Use coffee beans for espresso coffee makers.
Avoid using limit grinding positions (e.g. 1
and 16); if this is necessary, try using different
coffee blends.
You should adjust the fi neness of the grind
when the coffee is not dispensed properly:
Coffee pours out too fast = excessively coarse
grind > Set the knob on lower numbers;
Coffee drips out slowly and/or not at all =
excessively fi ne grind > Set the knob on higher
numbers.

ADJUSTING THE COFFEE DOSE

(FIG.11)
You may select the quantity of coffee (dose)
that you wish to grind. The manufacturer sets
an average dose in the factory.
To change the ground coffee dose, simply
turn the knob (Fig.11) found inside the coffee
container. Turn it anticlockwise to increase the
dose and clockwise to decrease the dose.
You must adjust the dose before pressing the
coffee dispenser button.
This system allows you to obtain an optimal
cup of coffee with all types of marketed
coffee.

Note: If the appliance does not dispen-

green temperature-ready LEDs (23) and

the water tank and the coffee container are

• Place 1 or 2 coffee cups under the coffee
dispenser spouts; you can adjust the height
of the dispenser by moving it up or down
manually (Fig.12) until it suits your cups.

press the button (23) or (24) only once; to
make 2 coffees, position two coffee cups
