START PUSH BUTTON
n order to power up the appliance, turn
the on-off switch knob to .
Engage the filter holder directly to the
appliance (apply only a light amount of
torque; if the grinder shifts on the
counter top, you are using too much
force).
Once the filter holder is engaged, start
the grinding in this way: push the start
button to grind, dispense and tamper a
double dose.
The red indicator lights located above
the start button is illuminated when the
appliance is grinding and tamping.
When the volume of ground coffee in
the filter holder reaches the set level,
the grinding motor turns off. The
tamping motor continues to run for a
few seconds, “polishing” the tamped
coffee.
Once the red light is no longer illumin-
ated, you may remove the filter holder
from the grinder and engage it into the
espresso machine.
f when you push the start button the
red indicator lights will flash, is occur-
ring at least one of the following condi-
tions:
•
You attempted to start the process with
a full filter holder.

GRINDING
n order to achieve finer or coarser
grinding, move the grinding adjustment
level. To increase the coarseness of the
ground coffee, the adjustment level
must be rotated clockwise; to increase
the fineness, turn the level anticlock-
wise.
The adjustment level remains in the
chosen position without having to be
locked in place. The adjustment must
be performed with the motor on, and
preferably without any coffee between
the grinding blades. Grind small
amounts of coffee in order to determine
the optimal degree of fineness.
Before checking the fineness of the
ground coffee, grind some doses of
coffee to fill the duct between the
grinding area and the outlet.
This operation must be done whenever
the grinding setting has been changed
in order to empty the duct of the
previous ground coffee. The change of
the grinding setting might vary the
weight of the doses. Therefore adjust the
doses only after the grinding setting.
n case the range of grinding adjustment
is not enough, to get the requested
grinding set, please proceed as the
following:
•
close the locking slide and switch the
grinder off;
•
unscrew the check pins of the coffee
bean hopper and remove it;
•
remove the screws which fix the
grinding adjustment level into the
grinding adjustment disk and remove
the level;
•
fit back the level and put the holes in
line with the ones of the adjustment
disk so to allow a wider grinding
adjustment;
•
tighten the screws of the level into the
adjustment disk;
•
put the hopper back;
•
only after having secured the hopper
into the grinder cabinet by tightening
the pins, open the locking slide and
proceed with the grinding adjustment.

f the coffee comes out of the espresso
coffee machine very quickly, it means
the coffee is ground too coarse. Vice
versa, if it comes out too slowly, it
means the coffee is ground too fine.
Nonetheless, bear in mind that there are
many conditions liable to influence the
correct supply, such as the weight of the
portions, the compacting, the espresso
machine settings, and the cleaning of
the filters.

10. Safety devices
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECT ON
The appliance’s motor is protected
against overheating resulting from over-
currents by a thermal overload protec-
tion which, when tripped, cuts off the
power supply to the motor. Should the
protection trip as a result of anomalous
operation, such as the grinding blades
jamming, the appliance must be turned
off using the on-off switch,
UNPLUGGED FROM THE MA NS, AND
SK LLED TECHN CAL PERSONNEL
CONTACTED. NEVER PERFORM ANY
WORK ON THE APPL ANCE WH LE T

The system that protects against acci-
dental contact with the rotating parts of
the grinding system consists of a
microswitch, situated under the body of
the appliance, that cuts the electricity to
the motor.
The push button that controls this
device is operated by a tongue in the
collar of the hopper. f the hopper is
removed or not properly in place, the
microswitch prevents the appliance from
working. To ensure the hopper is posi-
tioned correctly it must be fixed to the
casing using the relevant pins.

12. Noise level
EEC Countries:
The maximal noise emission of our
appliances (valued as acoustic power) is
81 dB(A).
The daily personal noise exposure of a
worker, due ONLY to an appliance’s
limit operation of 240 minutes per eight
hours, is 78 dB(A), according to
European Directive 86/188/EEC and
European Directive 2003/10/EC.
Therefore during he appliance’s normal
operation, no provisions are to be taken
in order to prevent such risks arising or
likely to arise from noise exposure at
work (articles 3-8 of European Directive
2003/10/EC).
USA & Canada:
The noise level of our appliances is
included within the limits stated in U.
S. regulation 29 CFR 1910. 95 (‘ Occu-
pational Health and Environment
Control - Occupational noise exposure
’)
for eight hours continuously in a day (in
reference to a noise exposure due solely
to appliance operation).
Said noise level has been determined on
identical news appliances.
13. Maintenance
t is essential to check the state of the
supply cable and plug periodically.
N THE EVENT THE SUPPLY CABLE
OR PLUG ARE DAMAGED, CALL N
SK LLED TECHN CAL PERSONNEL TO
REPLACE THEM, TH S TO PREVENT
ANY R SK.
N -CERT F ED APPL ANCES, A
SPEC AL TOOL S REQU RED TO
OPEN THE BASE PLATE TO GET AT
THE CABLE.
t is recommended to use original spare
parts only.
n order to assure the lasting efficiency
of the appliance, skilled technical
personnel must be called in to perform
periodical maintenance, including
detailed checks of the state of those
components subject to wear.
The state of the grinding blades must be
checked periodically. Keeping the
grinding blades in an excellent state
assures high-quality grinding, resulting
in greater productivity and limited over-
heating.
