ENGLISH
H. When the coffee machine is free of descaling agent after the necessary "Clean/Rinse"
cycles, it is ready for normal operation.
7. Adjusting the grinding level. Fig. 14
- When you need to adjust the grind level of the coffee beans, turn the grind level knob when
the grinder is in operation, otherwise the grinder may be damaged.
- Adjust the grind level according to the degree of roast of the coffee beans you use (medium
roast beans are recommended).
- If the coffee comes out too slowly during preparation (the coffee powder is too fine), turn
the grind level selector clockwise until a coarser grind is obtained.
- If during preparation the coffee comes out too fast and too clear (the coffee powder is too
coarse), turn the grind level knob anticlockwise until a finer grind is obtained.
Tips
1. Do not overfill the bean container or use beans that are too long, otherwise the quality of
the coffee and the performance of the grinder will be affected, and the beans will become
wet (especially in humid environments).
2. Do not overfill the bean container or leave the coffee beans inside for a long time so that
they do not get too wet and lose freshness (especially on humid days). Moisture will
affect the grind, brew and taste of the coffee.
3. If the coffee beans are wet, empty the container and fill it with fresh coffee beans for
better taste. Turn the grind level knob to maximum and try grinding the coffee beans. If
the coffee machine is working properly, return the knob switch to its original position.
4. If the coffee beans do not grind properly, it is possible that the coffee beans are too
wet or that there is too much coffee bean oil accumulated inside. In the latter case, add
grinder cleaner to the bean container and try grinding. If the grinder is working properly,
return the grind level knob to its original position. If not, repeat the process until it works
properly. Perform several "Clean/Rinse" cycles after using grinder cleaner.
