to ensure best performance of the
integrated Grinder. Regular cleaning helps
the Burrs achieve consistent grinding
results, which is especially important
when grinding coffee beans for espresso.
• Grind Off Excess Coffee Beans
- The machine is on and in the READY
state.
- Make note of the current Grind Setting
(to use as the starting point after
cleaning).
- Insert Two Cup Filter Basket into the
Group Handle.
- Insert Group Handle into Grinding
Cradle.

Hopper and push down lightly. At
the same time push down the Group
Handle to activate the Grinder.
Continue grinding until no more coffee
grinds are emitted from the Grinder.
