andreleasingthecleaningleverforseveraltimeswhilechangingthedialposition
fromendtoendfewtimesuntilnomorepowderiscomingout.
4. PositionthegrindingdialknobonTurkishcoffeeandturnofftheGrinder.
5. Usingflatscrewdriverremovethelogoshieldofthegrindingknob.
6. Usecrossedscrewdrivertoreleasetheknob’smainscrew,andpullouttheknob.
7. Thebrassinternalknobwillbeexposed.
8. Observethecurrentpositionoflinemarkoninternalknobrelativelytotheline
marksongrindingcover.(possiblyuseamarkertomarkthispositiononthe
grinder’scover)
9. TurnONthegrinder,then:
a. IfthegrinderwassqueakingonTurkishcoffeeposition,turntheinternal
knob1‐2notchestotheleft(CCW)anduntilnoiselevelofoperationis
regular.
b. IfyoufeelthatthegrindingisnotfineenoughonTurkishcoffeeposition,
thenrotatetheinternalknob1‐2notchestotheright(CW)andcontinue
rotating(CW)untilyouhearthemetaltometalsqueakingnoisethenopen
again(CCW)untilitissilentagain.
10. REMARK:iffromsqueakingpositiontosilentarearequiresmorethan4notcheson
theinternalknobitmeansthemachineneedtobeexaminedbyatechnician.Call
yourtechniciananddonotcontinueandoperatethegrinderuntilitisthoroughly
examined.
11. TurnOFFthegrinder,re‐assembletheknobonTurkishcoffeeposition,tightenthe
screwandplacetheLogocoverbackintoitsposition.

devicewhichwillcut‐offthemotor’spowersupplyshoulditreachahightemperature.
Intheeventthatthethermalprotectionistrippedasaresultofmalfunction(e.g.:jammed
blades,wornoutbearings,foreignobjectingrindingchamber,etc.)theappliancemain
switchshouldbeturnedoffimmediatelyandthemainpowerplugmustbedisconnected.
Forfurtherhandlingofthedevicecontactyourlocalserviceprovider,andallowthe
appliancetocooldownbeforeanyfurthermaintenance.
Intheeventthatthethermalprotectionistrippedasaresultofalongcontinuousoperation
allowtheappliancetocooldown.Resetthethermalcutoffprotectionbyunpluggingthe
maincablefromthesocket.Onthefirstoperationafterresettingatrippedover‐heat
protectiondeviceobservethegrindingqualityandnoiselevel,andifthereareany
irregularitiesshutdowntheapplianceandcallacertifiedtechnicianforacompleteanalysis
oftheappliance.
2. Beansconveyorandgrindingchambersafetycover:
Thegrindingchambercanbeahazardousareaiftheproperprecautionsaren’tobserved.
Thebeanshopperisequippedwithhandsandfingerssafetyprotector.Neverremovethe
safetyprotectorwhiletheHC880grinderispluggedin.
3. Bagpresenceswitch:
AbagpresenceswitchwasinstalledInordertoavoidforeignbodiesplungedintothe
grindinghousefrompowder’soutletdirectionandinordertoavoidaccidentalgrindof
beanswithoutcollectingbagforthepowder.
NeveroperatetheHC880grinderwhenthebagpresenceswitchisdisassembledor
bypassed
