Instructions for Use
A Preparing the Grinder
nRemove all packaging and plug the appliance into a suitable mains socket.
nRemove the bean hopper lid and ensure that the bean hopper is securely in place.
nFill bean hopper to top, making sure that the lid closes securely (see figure 1).
N.B. (Maximum fill is 250g).
nSet the grind selector to the desired setting, then twist the bean hopper in a clockwise
or anticlockwise direction.
The ‘I’ mark on the hopper base should be aligned with the desired grind setting (see

figure 3).
B Using the Grinder
nPress and release ‘START’ button to begin grinding.
N.B. If the bean hopper and grind chamber are not properly in place, the grinder will
not operate.
nGrinding will automatically stop once the pre-set quantity of beans have been ground.
nTo manually stop the operation, slide the cup quantity selector all the way to the left
to the ‘OFF’ position and the appliance will stop. To restart, reposition the cup quantity
selector to the desired number of cups and press and release the ‘START’ button.
nTo remove the grind chamber, simply pull away from the mains unit. Always ensure the

Hints & Tips
nThe following table highlights the general grind settings required for basic types of
coffee. As there are 6 settings per grind type, you will have to experiment with different
grind settings to determine the right consistency to suit your taste.
nWhen choosing fine settings, you may need to set the cup selector at a higher number
of cups to get the desired amount of coffee, as fine grinds are very compact.
nWhen choosing coarse settings, you may need to set the cup selector at a lower
number of cups to get the desired amount of coffee, as coarse grinds are very loose.
nYou may also vary the strength of the coffee by increasing or decreasing the quantity
of cups, i.e. select a greater quantity than actually required for a stronger flavour and
vice versa.
Cleaning &Maintenance
nAlways ensure the plug has been removed from the mains before cleaning.
nThe bean hopper and grind chamber are dishwasher safe, and we recommend washing
them on the top rack of the dishwasher. Due to high water temperature, washing these
parts on the bottom rack may cause damage over time.
nNever immerse the housing base in water or other liquid.
nDo not use abrasive cleaners on the housing base. To clean, simply wipe with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleaning agent to the cloth, not directly to the
housing base.
nUse the cleaning brush provided to clean the grind release area.
nUse the cord wrap on the underside of the housing base to store excess cord.
