•Always operate the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet and connect the appliance
directly to the power outlet. Do not use any extension cords or a multiple desk outlet.
•Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (220/230 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance
directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground)
connected properly. The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum
rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly
recommended. If in doubt, contact your local electrician for further information.

Operating
Before first use
After unpacking, remove all promotional and packing materials as well as any foreign objects.
Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large surface.
WARNING: Do not leave young children play with the appliance or any part of it or
the packing material.
Before first use and after a long period of storage, clean the appliance with a damp soft
cloth and warm soapy water (see ‘Care and Cleaning`). Dry all parts thoroughly.
Assembling the appliance
Before each use, ensure grinding bowl is empty and all parts are clean.
1. Assembling the grinding bowl look out for the align symbol
on the grinding bowl and the marking on top of the motor
housing (picture A). Underneath the align symbol of the
grinding bowl there is one of three guiding pins. On top of
the motor housing you will find the matching cannelure.
Attaching the grinding bowl ensure the guiding pin
underneath the align symbol fits into the cannelure above the
marking (picture A).
Turn the grinding bowl clockwise (direction LOCK) until it is
locked. You will hear a clicking sound when locked in posi-
tion.
2. Place the lid onto the grinding bowl. Attaching the lid pay
attention to the align symbol of the lid and the marking on
top of the motor housing. There is one of three guiding pins left
sided underneath the align symbol of the lid. You will find the
matching cannelure on top of the motor housing.
Attaching the lid ensure the guiding pin left sided underneath
the align symbol fits into the cannelure above the marking.
Turn the lid clockwise (direction LOCK) until the lid is locked
in position. The align symbol will be right above the marking
when the lid is locked in position (picture C).
NOTE: The coffee grinder will not operate without the lid and grinding bowl in
locked position.

Tips for the preparation
Getting a great tasting delicious coffee is a process that is influenced by several
changeable components. For example: the sort of coffee that is used, the consistency
and fineness of the coffee powder and the amount of coffee powder that is used.
Using a manual espresso machine it also depends on the pressure (minimum 15 bar),
amount and temperature of the water and the pressure with which the powder is
pressed into the filter. In general you should pay attention to the following:
•For best flavour, store coffee beans in an airtight container.
•Grind coffee beans immediately before brewing.
•The strongness of the coffee depends on the grind fineness and the amount of
coffee powder. The finer the coffee powder and the more coffee powder is used
the stronger the taste and the more caffeine you will get.
• Coffee flavour and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of coffee
beans, amount of coffee and fineness of grind to find the flavour you prefer.
Tips for making espresso
• The coffee must be finely ground, but not too fine (the correct grind should look
gritty, like salt or sand).
• If the grind is too fine, the water, when brewing, will not flow through the coffee
even under pressure (this grind looks like powder and feels like flour when
rubbed between fingers).
• If the grind is too coarse, the water, when brewing, will flow too fast through the
coffee, preventing a full flavoured extraction.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the motor with food that is oversized or too hard. Turn
the appliance ´OFF` as soon as the motor stalls or stucks to avoid overheating of the motor.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING: To avoid injury to persons and damage, always unplug the appliance and
wait for the motor to stop completely, immediately after operation and before assembling

1. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning and take the lid off the
grinding bowl turning it counterclockwise. Lift the lid straight up.
2. Remove grinding bowl by turning it counterclockwise, then lift straight up. You
will hear a clicking sound when the grinding bowl is unlocked.
