OPERATION

IMPORTANT TO KNOW BEFORE USING YOUR GRINDER
• Follow the steps in the Quick Start Guide (included with your grinder or
to get your grinder ready for use
• Be sure all parts are washed, dried, and clean. If you are stuck, check out the section
Care and Cleaning for now to remove and reinstall
Prior to using your Virtuoso+ grinder for the first time you should wash the bean hopper and grounds bin in warm soapy
water. Be sure to fully dry these parts before re-installing. See the section on Care and Cleaning for instruction on how to
remove and reinstall these parts. There may be some rust or discoloration on the burrs when you receive your grinder. This is
normal and will disappear after a small amount of coffee has been ground. To remove the rust and season the burrs, grind 50
grams of coffee and discard.
INITIAL OPERATION
• Place the Virtuoso+ on level surface, plug into AC Outlet
• Remove lid from hopper, pour in roasted beans and replace the lid
• Ensure grounds bin is in place
• Set the grind adjustment/control* (see below for details)
• Set the time to grind (see programming details below)
• Press Start
* Grinder will not activate if above setting 40

SETTING THE GRIND CONTROL

The grind setting indicator moves from coarse (40) to fine (1). Slowly rotate the bean hopper clockwise or counter clockwise
to align the grind setting indicator on the bean hopper with the desired number setting on the grind scale.
Turning the hopper to the right (  ) produces a coarser particle size and left (  ) produces a finer particle size.
The settings shown in the table below can be used as a general starting point. The actual grind size for a particular setting
will vary depending on many factors including: degree of roast (light vs. dark), freshness, humidity, type of bean, oil content,
etc. With use, you will determine the setting that is right for your taste, brewing style and your favorite beans.
