8. REGULATION
8.1.Grindersetup
Place the hopper ( ) on the grind regulator ( ) and make sure the bean trap ( )
is in the closed position. Lock the hopper ( )inplaceusingaatheadscrewdriver
to gently tighten the hopper security screw making it match to the hole at the bean
hopper collar ( ) (Fig. 1).
Remove the hopper lid ( ),llthehopperwithcoffee( ), and replace the lid on the
hopper ( ) (Fig. 2).
Plug in the grinder, and place the main power switch ( ) ON-OFF to position ON and
open the bean trap ( ) to allow coffee to pass into the grind chamber.

8.2.Grindadjustmentsystem
8.2.1.Micrometricalsystem/Parallelmicrometricalsystem
Rotate the grind regulator ( ) until reaching the grind level desired. Rotating the
grind regulator counterclockwise will result in a courser grind; turning the regulator
clockwisewillresultinanergrinder*(Fig. 3).
Onceyoureachthedesiredgrindingpoint,youcanxthegrindingregulation( )
using the regulation break ( ) (Fig. 4). Except K3 and K3 ELITE models.
*NOTE: Changing grind settings must be done when the grinder is on and burrs are in motion.
Not doing this suposes that the burrs will gunk up and cleaning will be required.
8.2.2.Steppedgrindadjustment
In the stepped adjustment versions, the positions on the grind regulator are limited
by“steps”thataredenedbytheholeandpinpoints(Fig. 5).
The instructions detailed in section 8.2.1. on adjusting the regulator should be
followed, while at the same time, pulling the brake post ( ) (Fig. 5) up to release the
locking action of the post.

NOTE: If the output is very slow, it could mean that the coffee is being ground too
ne.Iftheoutputisveryfast,itcouldmeanthatthecoffeeisbeinggroundtoo
coarse. A perfect espresso grind is found when the grind point gives an infusion of
25 ml of coffee in 25 seconds using 7 grams of ground coffee.
8.3.Regulatingthecoffeeserving
The dispensers are factory adjusted to serve an amount of approximately 7 gr of
ground coffee, but this quantity can be regulated between 6 and 10 gr, as follows:
1. Remove the ground coffee dispenser lid ( ) and turn the dispensing regulation
screw ( ) clockwise to obtain a smaller amount of coffee, and counterclockwise
to obtain a larger amount (Fig. 6).
2. Once the quantity of eachserving has been regulated, replace the ground coffee
dispenser lid ( ).

K01068 | v. 22/09/2014 | Ref. quality process 002/03 | ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS 13
9. OPERATION
9.1.Mainswitch
The main swith ( ) has 2 positions of use, ON–OFF
ON: Working
OFF: Not working
9.2.Use
To turn the machine on and off use the ON–OFF switch ( ). The machine will start
to grind the coffee. If the automatic stop option is incorporated, the grinder will stop
grinding when the dispenser reaches the maximum level, and will restart after 8
portions of coffee have been served, grinding again to the maximum level.
If the machine does not incorporate the automatic stop option, we recommend that
youllthedoser75%ofitscapacityinordertoguaranteeconsistentdosing.
Toservethecoffeeservings,placetheportalteronthefork( ) as far in as possible
so that it is positioned under the ground coffee discharge tube. Pull the dispensing
lever ( ) to obtain one coffee serving (one serving is equal to one cup of coffee), and
release it so it returns to its normal position (Fig. 7).
9.3.Staticpress
Taketheportalterandplaceitunderthecoffeetamper( ), pressing upwards to
pack the coffee (Fig. 7).

9.4.Telescopicpress
Whenusingthetelescopiccoffeepressoption,placetheportalter
on the fork ( ) and push the coffee tamper downwards (Fig. 8).
10. CLEANING
10.1.Generalcleaning
To ensure that the grinder functions properly, and produces the highest quality grind
possible, the parts that come into contact with coffee should cleaned periodically.
General Cleaning guidelines as follows:
• Always turn the main power switch to the OFF position ( ).
• Unplug the machine from the power source.
• Do not submerge the grinder in water or use power washing devises.
10.2.Beanhoppercleaning
It is recommended that the grind chamber be cleaned monthly with a cleaner as
recommended by Compak. This process will eliminate smelly residues from the
coffee remains, which can negatively affect the quality of the brewed coffee.

K01068 | v. 22/09/2014 | Ref. quality process 002/03 | ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS 15
The steps to follow are:
• Inordertoproperlycleanthebeanhopper,rstemptyoutallremainingbeans
and fragments.
• Close the bean trap on the hopper ( ) and grind out the remaining coffee in the
grind chamber.
• Remove any remaining coffee beans from the bean hopper ( ).
• Pour the recommended grinder cleaning product into the bean hopper ( ) and
open the bean trap ( ), allowing the cleaning product to pass into the grind
chamber.
• Grindthecleaningproductatamediumcoursegrindsettinguntiltherecommended
amount is passed through the system and nothing remains in the grind chamber.
• Clean the hopper ( )andrellwithcoffeebeans.
• Discardtherst2-3dosesofcoffeetoassurethattheresidualcleaningproduct
is removed from the grind chamber and set the grind regulator to the desired
setting ( ).
Following these steps will ensure that the grinder is clean and ready for use.
We do not recommend the taking apart of the grind assembly unless changing burrs,
or removing a blockage/obstruction in the grind chamber. Removal of the grind
assemblyshouldbeperformedbyaqualiedservicetechnician.
10.3.Cleaningdegroundcoffeedeposit
To clean the ground coffee holder, rst empty all the coffee insideit.Remove the
ground coffee dispenser lid ( ) and clean the inside, using a small brush.
10.4.Cleaningtheoutsideofthegrinder
Tocleantheexteriorofthegrinder,rstwipewithadrysoftcloth,andthengently
wipe with a damp soapy cloth.

11. MAINTENANCE
11.1.Generalwarning
Before performing any type of maintenance you should:
• Always turn OFF the main power switch to the OFF position ( ).
• If the grinder is jammed, unplug it from the power source and contact an
authorizedservicetechnician.
Not following these warnings can compromise the safety of the grinder as well as
the user.
11.2.Generalmaintenanceofthegrindchamber
To guarantee the efciency and correct operation of the grinder, it is essential to
follow manufacturer instructions and ensure that all maintenance work is carried
outbyqualiedstaff.
Dull burrs will result in; a lower quality grind, greater heat generation in the coffee
andgrinder,increasedelectricalconsumption,andnallyitputsadditionalstresson
the grinder motor.
NOTE: Based on extensive experience and a medium-hard coffee blend, we
recommend replacing the burrs after grinding 350 Kg/770 lb of coffee.

11.3.Grindinggroupmaintenance
Not following the recommended burr life guidelines can compromise the safety of
the grinder.
Theseoperationsshouldbedonebyaqualiedservicetecnician.
To perform grind chamber maintenance please observe the following steps:
Turn off the grinder by making sure the main power switch ( )is on the OFF position.
Disconnect the plug from the power source. Loosen the hopper security screw ( )
usingaatheadscrewdriverasseeninFig.1. and remove the hopper ( ) from the
grind regulator ( ). Loosen the screws on the grind regulator ( ) using an Allen key
A3 series for the K3 models following Fig.9. or a Torx T20 screw driver for the rest of
the models as seen in Fig. 10.
For the models with micrometric Parallel system, before removing the grinding
adjustment collar ( ) rotate the grind point lock screw ( ) counterclockwise to
release it from a locked position (Fig. 11).

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS | Ref. quality process 002/03 | v. 22/09/2014 | K01068

Rotate the grind regulator clockwise until it is completely unscrewed (Fig. 11) until
the upper and lower burrs touch and can not be turned further. Clean the grind
chamber and threads of the housing using a soft cloth and vacuum cleaner until all of
the oils and residue has been removed.
Make sure to put new food grade lubricant on the clean threading of the housing and
upper assembly. Insert the upper burr assembly into the grind chamber, and turn
counter clockwise.
For positioning and mounting the grinding adjustment ( ) distinguish between
modelswithatburrs,K3, K6 and K8, and the conical burr models K10.
