SINGLE ESPRESSO GRINDER
Before using for the first Ɵme
FuncƟoning and basic seƫngs
The shot sizes, i.e. the volume of grounds per serving, are defined by the
grinding me in the Praca grinder.
The user can specify up to six different recipes (grinding mes) and also has
the opon to control the grinding me manually (manual grinding).
The grinding process is started automacally when the portafilter is inserted
and either stops automacally aer the defined grinding me has elapsed or
when the portafilter is removed (manual grinding).
On delivery, 2 recipes/shots and manual grinding are set as
defaults:
Single shot: 2 seconds (approx. 8 g*)
Double shot: 4 seconds (16 g*)
Manual grinding: ends automacally on
removal of the portafilter from the portafilter intake.
*The quanty of ground coffee depends on the espresso bean type
selected, the grinding degree selected and the mains frequency
(see “Technical data” secon).
Checking the grinder and scope of delivery
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
The grinder can be damaged if the packaging is opened carelessly with
a sharp knife or other pointed object.
– Be very careful when opening.

OperaƟon
NOTE!
Risk of overheaƟng!
Exceeding the maximum permissible operang cycle can cause the
grinder to overheat.
– Do not exceed the maximum operang cycle
(see “Technical data” secon).
– Observe the recommended break when the maximum permissi-
ble operang cycle is reached (see “Technical data”secon).
• The grinder has a thermal overcurrent circuit-breaker which
interrupts the electric circuit of the grinder in case of electri-
cal overload.
To use the grinder again, first set the On/Offswitch (5) to
switch posion 0(off).
Then push the release buon (6) in.
You can now switch the grinder on by seng the On/Off
switch to switch posion Iand resume using the grinder (see
“Troubleshoong” secon).
• The grinder also has a motor protector, which switches off
the grinder when the motor becomes too hot.
As soon as the motor has cooled down, the grinder can be
put into operaon again (see “Troubleshoong” secon).
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
The operator cannot adjust the thermal overcurrent circuit-breaker. If
the circuit-breaker has been triggered several mes, a service partner
must be contacted for advice as the motor winding may be damaged.

SINGLE ESPRESSO GRINDER
Adding espresso beans
1. Remove the lid from the bean container (1).
2. Pour whole roasted espresso beans into the bean container from above.
• The maximum filling quanty should be approx. 1 cm below
the edge of the bean container.
• The minimum filling quanty should not fall below approx.
2 cm in order to ensure that there are no dispensing fluctua-
ons.
3. Place the lid back onto the bean container.
4. If necessary, open the bean container by pulling out the sliding valve (20)
(see Fig. B).
Using the clip (17) on the lid of the bean container, you can
aach a label or similar to the grinder to indicate the type of
espresso beans you are currently using.
Switching on the grinder
1. Ensure that the power plug is inserted into a properly installed earthed
socket.
2. Switch on the grinder by moving the On/Offswitch (5) to posion “I”.
The grinder is ready for operaon as soon as the recipe last selected or
the symbol for manual grinding appears on the display (14).
Seƫng the grinding degree
• The lock for the grinding degree adjuster locks the grinding
degree slider (15) to prevent accidental adjustment of the
grinding degree.
• When the grinding degree lock (4) is open, the grinding
degree slide can be moved connuously along the grinding
degree scale (16). The finest seng is “0” and the coarsest
seng is “8”.
1. If necessary, release the lock on the grinding degree adjuster by rotang
the grinding degree lock (4) counterclockwise to the posion (open)
(see Fig. F).
2. Move the grinding degree slide (15) to the posion required so that the
groove on the slider shows the grinding degree required on the grinding
degree scale (16) (see Fig. G).

19
Praca | EN
• Reduce the grinding degree only while the grinder
is in operaon.
• In order to avoid/eliminate imbalances in seng the grinding
degree, it is advisable first to set a coarser grinding degree
(about one level/unit above the grinding degree required)
and only then move the grinding degree slide down from
there to the finer grinding degree required.
3. Fix the grinding degree seng as necessary by turning the grinding degree
lock clockwise to the posion (closed) (see Fig. F).
SelecƟng the recipe/grinding Ɵme
–Rotate the controller (3) to select the recipe/grinding type required
(see Fig. H).
The display (14) shows the symbol for the selected recipe, the corres-
ponding grinding me and the recipe number highlighted in white.
