Operation
Prepare the hopper by placing it on the grinder and turning it clockwise
until it fits in place. Remove the hopper lid (1), fill the hopper (2) with
coffee, close the lid and open the hopper opening. Fig.1. If the hopper is not
correctly fitted, a warning message with appear on the display.
Connect the machine to the power supply; turn it on using the ON-OFF
switch located on the bottom part of the grinder (11). Select the desired
grinding point using the endless regulator (tightening it for a finer grind and
loosening for thicker grind).

HOPPER
OPENING
Fig. 1
Lock the endless regulator when you reach the desired grinding point.
Fig. 2.
Place the portafilter under the discharge tube. The amount of coffee
dispensed per serving will depend on the grinding point (adjustable with
the endless regulator) and the grinding time (see point 2 of the menu
structure).
The grinder has 3 operating modes that you can choose from point 1
on the menu:
a) Automatic with pre-dosis. The dispenser has 2 chambers that hold
two pre-ground servings. The grinder will dispense one or two servings
based on the number of pushes made. The grinder then automatically
grinds as many servings as those dispensed in order to maintain the 2
chambers with ground coffee.
b) Automatic. The doors of the chambers can be open so that the
serving(s) selected is(are) ground and dispensed instantly, with the
grinding time selected in point 2 of the menu.
c) Manual. The dorrs of the chambers can be open so that the grinder
grinds and dispenses instantly, with the grind time being the amount of
time we wait between the first and second push.
i
NOTE: If the coffee comes out slowly, this is because the coffee is set
to grind very fine. If it comes out very fast, it is because the grind is
very thick. A perfect espresso is achieved with a grinding point of 25
ml of coffee brewed in 25 seconds.
