3. Installation / Operation
The technician in charge of installation
must carefully read this manual before
operation of the machine, which must
be carried out by qualified staff, yet
respecting safety regulations in force.
The grinder must be installed in a flat
and stable surface, at a height which
makes operation of the machine
comfortable and safe, as close as
possible to the coffee machine.
The machine operator must be a
responsible adult person.
Electrical installation
Before connecting the grinder to the
mains, be sure of checking that the
grinder specifications correspond with
those of the power supply.
It is not recommended to use cord
extensions nor multiple connectors.
I.1 / I.2 / steel / i·mini /
i·steel machine Models
operation
Assemble the coffee bean hopper 3
on its position.
Fill it with coffee beans in such an
amount as to be consumed on a daily
basis. Put the hopper lid 2on its
position.
Connect the power cord 7to the
mains.
Push the ON-OFF switch 1to turn
the machine on. The built-in led will
be on. The grinder will then be ready
for grinding.
Only models with a timer device (NO
USA), allows the operator to adjust
in advance the grinding time (a mini-
mum of 8 seconds and a maximum
of 60 seconds) by using regulator 6
. Every time ground coffee is required,
the machine filter holder must be
placed under the coffee spout 8and
guided by the switch holder fork 9,
pressing the switch 10.
Turning the timer regulator 6
clockwise will result in an increase
of grinding time, whereas turning it
counterclockwise decreases grinding
time.(FIG.1)
ENGLISH

15
ascaso
We recommend that grinding time
must be set for a production equiva-
lent to 7g / 0.25 oz of coffee: between
20 and 25 seconds. Check the ad-
justment, which may vary depending
on type of coffee and grinding discs
wear.
Once the dose is on the filter holder,
press the coffee by using a manual
tamper for brewing your espresso.
I.1D / I.2D (with dose dis-
penser) Models operation
Connect the power cord 7to the
mains.
Push the ON-OFF switch 1to turn
the machine on. The built-in led will
be on and the grinder will then start
grinding coffee, which will be stored
at the dose dispenser 12.
Push the ON-OFF switch 1to turn
the machine off and stop grinding
coffee.
For having the ground coffee dose
dispensed, the machine filter holder
must be placed on the support fork
13 .
Pull the dose dispenser lever to get
a coffee dose (7-8 g / 0.25-0.28 oz)
allowing the lever to return to its
former position by itself.
Once the dose is on the filter holder,
press the coffee by using a manual
tamper for brewing your espresso.

4. Grinding point and regu-
lation
The grinding point (coarser or finer)
will depend on the coffee blend qua-
lity used, its roasting point, humidity
(the more humid the conditions are
the coarser the grinding point must
be) and coffee machine conditions.
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the
grinding point periodically (on a daily
basis). To do that we must use the
grinding regulator 5located on the
upper right side of the machine. If we
turn the regulator forward (clockwise)
we will obtain a finer grinding, whe-
reas turning it backwards (counter-
clockwise) will result in a coarser
grinding point.
The grinding point is factory adjusted
for a medium grinding point. It is
therefore necessary to proceed with
a preliminary grinding adjustment to
achieve the best grinding quality.
It is recommended that you check
the espresso coffee result on the cup
and its taste, taking into consideration
that an excessively coarse regulation
results in lighter coffees (watered) with
neither aroma nor cream, whereas
an excessively fine regulation results
in short shots, strong and dense in
excess.

5. Cleaning
In order to guarantee a proper opera-
tion of the machine as well as ground
coffee good quality, all areas directly
in touch with coffee must be cleaned
regularly (at least once a week), with
the machine disconnected from the
mains in all cases.
Hopper
Remove the hopper 3from its
position (FIG.3) and wash it with a
piece of cloth moistened with water
and soap to eliminate the inside oily
residues produced by coffee. Rinse
and dry it carefully.
Dose dispenser (I.1D / I.2D
models)
Remove the remaining ground coffee
from the dose dispenser.
Remove the dispenser lid and clean
all the internal parts by using a brush.
(FIG.3)
External cleaning
Use a brush or a piece of cloth mois-
tened with water and soap.
Disconnect the appliance
before remove the Hopper

6. Maintenance
Before carrying out any kind of maintenance operation the grinder must be
switched off as well as disconnected from the mains.
Grinding discs wear must be regularly checked to produce homogeneously
ground coffee and obtain a perfect espresso.
Grinding discs must be replaced between 400-600 Kg (875-1,300 lb) of ground
coffee.
7. EC Declaration of conformity
