Step 1. First swing the clamp lever to the right side of the cabinet and the clamp arm to the left. Then place a
grinding container squarely in the recess of the capsule retainer. (If the container is not firmly seated, it can
work itself loose during grinding.)
Step 2. When the grinding container is in place, swing the clamp arm to the right, so the guide fits over the
boss (raised protuberance) in the center of the container lid. Then bring up the clamp lever so that the open
gate at its base fits over the end clamp arm; the roller in the clamp lever assembly should rest in the curved
recess of the clamp arm. Swing the clamp lever over to the left.
Step 3. Adjust the clamp by turning guide (clockwise or counter clockwise) while holding up locking pin (see
section 4.4 of manual for more detailed instructions). Close the lid and press Run button.
