COFFEE GRINDER

Warning! The grinder adjustment
knob inside the coffee container
must be turned only while the coffee
grinder is operating.
Do not introduce ground and/or freeze-
dried coffee into the coffee bean
container.
It is strictly forbidden to introduce
any material other than coffee
beans.
The coffee grinder contains moving
parts that may be hazardous; do not
place your fingers and/or other objects
inside the grinder.
Before performing any kind of operation
inside the coffee container, switch off the
machine and unplug it. Do not add
coffee beans while the grinder is
operating.
The quality and flavour of your coffee will
depend not only on the blend you use but
also on how finely you grind it.
The machine has a knob (3) for adjusting
the grind.
To adjust the grind, turn the graduated
COFFEE GRINDER - DOSE ADJUSTMENT
knob while the grinder is operating; the
numbers on the knob indicated the fineness
of the grind.
Every machine is factory-regulated to a
medium-sized grind; turn the knob to lower
numbers to obtain a coarser grind, turn
the knob to higher numbers to obtain a
finer grind.
The variation in the fineness of the grind
will be noted only after three or four coffees
have been dispensed.
Use blends of coffee beans specifically for
espresso machines.
Avoid using extreme grinding settings (e.g.
1 - 16); if you do use them, also use
different blends of coffee. Store coffee in
an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
You should adjust the fineness of the grind
when the coffee is not dispensed properly:
Coffee pours out too fast = excessively
coarse grind > set knob to a finer grind;
Coffee drips out slowly and/or not at all
= excessively fine grind > set knob to
coarser grind.

DOSE ADJUSTMENT

The machine allows you to adjust the
amount of coffee (dose) to be ground
according to your requirements.
The manufacturer has set a standard dose
that satisfies most needs: notch (A)
corresponding to reference point (B).
Turn the knob (4) inside the coffee
container counterclockwise to increase the
dose of ground coffee; turn it clockwise to
reduce the dose of ground coffee.
The dose must be adjusted before pressing
the button to dispense coffee.
This system makes it possible to obtain
optimal coffee with all types of
commercially available coffee.
