coffee. By adjusting the knob you can set the grinding fineness which ranges from
“Turkish fine” to “coarse”.
The machine is designed to grind coffee but can grind other things like herbs and nuts.
Although the machine might clog if the moisture content is greater than coffee, cleaning all foreign
material from the inside the cutter compartment will restore the grinder to its original condition.

Do not spray the coffee grinder with water and/or steam.
Using these can result in a short circuit of the machine risking permanent damage. The use of an
alkaline cleaning agent can also alter the taste of the coffee.
-Maintenance
If the quality of the grinder is no longer at the required standard, the grinding burrs
must be replaced.
The burrs should also be inspected for wear annually.
Don’t attempt to inspect the quality of the grinding disks by yourself. Always get a competent
specialist and/or service personnel to do it for you.
-Grinder calibration
Calibration of the grinder (with the setting nut) makes the fineness of the ground
coffee correspond with the fineness set on the scale (marked)
Calibration of the grinder must only be performed by persons familiar with the unit after carefully
reading the following instructions.
-Basic calibrations should be made after replacing the grinding burrs, following
inadvertent displacement of the basic calibration.
