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.
n the Vulcano on Demand, 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

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.

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
