OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and safely discard all promotional labels and packing materials attached to your Sage® appliance. Wash hopper, and cradles in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe exterior of grinder with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Place grinder on flat level surface and plug power cord into 220-240V outlet and switch Power 'ON'.

ASSEMBLING YOUR SAGE CONTROL DOSE™ PRO
Bean Hopper
Align tabs on the base of the bean hopper and insert hopper into position. Holding the hopper, press down firmly and turn the bean hopper dial 45° to lock into position.
A "click" sound will be heard when the hopper is properly locked in place.
ASSEMBLING - Bean Hopper
Ensure the hopper and the Grind Size Collar is aligned properly.
Fill with fresh coffee beans and secure lid on top of bean hopper.

NOTE
If the bean hopper has not been locked into position, the GRIND TIME dial will not be illuminated.

GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE
Use single wall filter baskets when grinding fresh coffee beans. Use the finer 1–25 settings in the ESPRESSO range.
GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE - Step 1

  1. Insert the appropriate portafilter cradle size. Insert your portafilter into the cradle.
  2. Selecting Grind Amount
    Select the desired amount of ground coffee required by turning the GRIND TIME dial.
    GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE - Step 2
  3. Tamping the Ground Coffee
    After dosing the portafilter with freshly ground coffee, tamp down with between 15-20kg of pressure.
  4. Trimming the Dose
    The adjustable Razor™ Dose Trimming Tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.
    Select the correct width blade of the Razor™ to match the diameter of your filter basket. The Razor™ has three blades of varying widths: 58mm, 54mm and 50mm. The 58mm and 54mm arealready fitted within the Razor™ body. The 50mm is separate.
    If you require the 50mm blade, turn the adjustment dial past #1 until the 54mm blade is fully extended and able to be pulled from the body.
    GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE - Step 3
    If you require the 50mm blade, turn the Adjustable Dial past #1 until the 54mm blade is fully extended and able to be pulled from the body.

NOTE
The Adjustable Dial may feel tight as you continue to wind it towards the end of its travel.
Insert the 50mm blade into the body. Wind the Adjustable Dial until the blade is retracted past #4. Press the 50mm and 58mm blades at the same time, towards the centre of the body until a "click" sound can be heard.
GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE - Step 4
Adjust the Razor™ to the setting in the table below for your Sage® espresso machine. This is a starting point for your dose height.

Sage® Espresso Machine Portafilter Size Dose Height
Model name starting with "SES9" 58mm 2
Model name starting with "SES8" 54mm 2.5

After tamping the coffee, insert the Razor™ into the filter basket until it rests on the rim of the basket. The blade of the dosing tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.
If the blade does not penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee, your coffee is under dosed. Increase the amount of dosed coffee by adjusting the GRIND TIME dial.
Rotate the Razor™ back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim off a little excess coffee.
GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE - Step 5

  1. Select Your Grind Size
    For espresso, we recommend starting with grind size setting 15 and rotating the Hopper (to adjust the Grind Size Collar) either coarser or finer.
