7.3 ADJUSTING THE FINE-
NESS AND AMOUNT OF
GROUND COFFEE
1) The machine is equipped with a professio-
nal coffee grinder with Ø 50 mm (Ø 1.97 in)
grinding wheels; its slow speed and even
grinding consistency prevent the coffee
from burning. If the ground coffee is not as
required, it is possible to change the grin-
ding fineness and amount using the regu-
lators in the left rear side of the machine (K
and Y) (see Fig. 30).

To adjust grinding fineness, proceed as fol-
lows:
• Pull out the machine
• Use the Allen wrench (supplied) to move
the adjustment screw Y and change the
grinding fineness: turning the screw clock-
wise will mean coarser grinding, while
anticlockwise will mean finer grinding.
