INSTALLATION

Place the appliance on a stable flat surface which is neither hot nor near a heat source. The surface must be dry. Keep the appliance and its mains cable out of reach of children.
Ensure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate of the appliance agrees with the mains voltage in your area. (Use a residual current device (RCD) seek the advice of an electrician.) While the appliance is in use, the mains plug must be accessible in case of an emergency.
If the power point is unsuitable for accommodating the plug of your appliance, have the power point changed by a licensed electrician.

SETTING THE GRINDING

The main adjustment positions stated on the control for the degree of grinding are normally sufficient. The degree CONTROL of grinding can be adjusted by twisting the bean container (fig.17).

	= fine grinding (e.g. for espresso coffee machine)
	= medium grinding (e.g. for BODUM® filter coffee machine)
	= coarse grinding (e.g. for BODUM® French Press coffee maker)

If the three adjustment positions do not precisely match your personal taste you can also grind your coffee by choosing any intermediate position.
If the appliance has been filled with coffee beans, the grinding control must only be operated when the motor is running.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

Always keep the lid (1) of the bean container tightly shut in order to enjoy the full taste and aroma of your coffee beans. Never grind more coffee than you actually need. When grinding, always ensure that the lid (7) is fitted to the ground coffee container (6).

QUANTITY CONTROL

The BODUM® coffee grinder is equipped with a time/quantity control (8). Use it to set the coffee grinder to the desired grinding time and quantity. The appliance switches off automatically once the preset time has elapsed. If you want to interrupt grinding before the preset time has elapsed. Push the I/O button (11). The quantity of ground coffee you need to make your coffee depends on the type of bean, the degree of grinding and your personal taste.

In order to prevent the motor from overheating, do not grind more than 1 complete unit (1x20 seconds) in succession. After wait 5 Min. to let the motor cool down before restart.

GRINDER

The BODUM® coffee grinder uses conical burr grinder, which are the best grinders you can get. The burr spins slower than the wheel model, which makes them quieter and less messy. You can use a conical burr grinder for oily or flavoured coffees and it is not likly to clog, like the other kinds of grinders. These are the best.

STONE SAFETY CUT-OUT FEATURE

Given the huge quantities of coffee that are packed every day, very small stones may accidentally find their way into even the finest coffee beans. The appliance is equipped with a stone safety cut-out - or «friction clutch» - in order to prevent damage to the grinding gear. A stone in the grinding gear will cause a loud rattling noise. Switch the appliance off immediately, remove plug from wall outlet, open it as described in the section entitled «Maintenance» and remove the stone.

CLEANING THE GRINDING GEAR

Disconnect the mains plug from the socket outlet. Remove any remaining beans in the bean container (fig.18) and take the latter off by twisting it in an anticlock-wise direction as far as the release area stop (fig.19). Lift the bean hopper from the housing (fig.20). The grinding ring can then be lifted out of the machine. A soft-bristle brush is ideal for cleaning the grinding gear. Reassemble the machine by performing the above operation in reverse order. The housing, lid (1), coffee bean container (2) and grinding mechanism cover (5) are easy to clean using a damp cloth. The ground coffee container (6) and its lid (7) are dishwasher-proof. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
