CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SAFETY MOTOR
PROTECTOR
Since large quantities of coffee are packed every
day some tiny stones may accidentally be found,
even among the finest coffee beans. The appliance
is equipped with a safety motor protector against
stones - or "friction clutch" - to avoid damage to the
grinding mechanism. A stone in the grinding
mechanism will cause a loud metallic noise. Turn the
appliance off immediately, remove the plug from the
socket, open the appliance as explained in the
section "Cleaning" and remove the foreign body.
CLEANING
Take the plug out of the socket. Remove any beans
remaining in the appropriate container and extract
the latter by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction
up to the stopping point (fig. 6). Lift the coffee bean
container from its position (fig. 7). The ring nut for
the grinding can therefore be removed from the
machine. To clean the grinding mechanism a soft-
bristle brush is ideal. Re-assemble the appliance by
carrying out the above operation in reverse order,
ensuring that the two tabs are correctly inserted into
the appropriate slot. The structure of the coffee
grinder and the transparent parts can be cleaned
easily using a damp cloth.
