8. Grind Adjustment

The grinder has been precisely adjusted by the manufacturer. However,
if the ground material is no longer fi ne enough after a longer period, the
grinder must then be re-adjusted according to the following procedure:
1. Unscrew the attachment screw in the centre of the rotary knob and
remove it.
2. Now switch the grinder on.
3. Now turn the exposed adjusting spindle very carefully and slowly
to the right until you hear a light rattling sound (the grinding discs
are touching) and then turn it back again immediately by approx. 1
notch to the left. However, you must not be able to hear the grind-
ing discs rattling together.
4. If you grind some beans now, you should get fi ne grains (in the case
of coffee). If the coffee beans have been ground too fi ne, the grinder
can stick together so that the coffee beans can no longer slide down
to be ground.
It is important to ensure that no „rattling" noise of
the grinding disks can be heard! Their service life will
otherwise be signifi cantly reduced!
5. If the adjustment you have made does not come up to your expecta-
tions you can adjust the grind degree as described above.
6. Set the rotary knob on the adjusting spindle such that the marking
of the knob is positioned exactly on the right symbol „fi ne". Now you
should no longer be able to turn it to the right.
7. Replace the attachment screw into the centre of the rotary
knob and tighten it again.

9. Cleaning

Always pull the power supply plug out of the
outlet before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning work on the device!
Observe the safety instructions under 1.2!
9.1 Cleaning the grinder casing
Clean the casing of your grinder every now and then with commer-
cially available mild cleaning agents. In addition, you should also
clean the magnet in the hopper from time to time by removing any
foreign objects that may have become stuck because otherwise
this could result in clogging.
Do not let any foreign objects fall into the grind-
ing mechanism!!
