4. INSTALLATION
5. APPLIANCE FUNCTIONS
Dispose of the packaging as per the norms in force of the country in which the appliance is utilised.
Take note!
Installation must be carried out by trained technical personnel. Installation must be carried
out in strict compliance with the safety provisions currently in force in the country of use, with
particular reference to the accident and fire prevention regulations and electricity authority
regulations.
The power cable must be connected to the ground plate, which must be perfectly efficient and
in compliance with current safety regulations. make sure the switch is off (position O) and that
the voltage and frequency data given on the data plate are commensurate with that of the
mains supply. Place the appliance on a flat surface to ensure it is perfectly stable.Align the hole
of the bell with one of the holes of the adjusting ring-nut (see figure 2). Check that the fan does
not prevent lowering the adjustment disc stopper pin, otherwise change the hole.
Fasten, using the appropriate screw.
Once the coffee hopper is placed firmly on the upper grinding blades holder, pour in the coffee beans (Do not turn the
appliance on without the coffee hopper or without its lid). Put the lid on the coffee hopper and open the fan, to allow the
coffee beans to flow into the grinder. Never fill the coffee hopper more than 2/3rds of its capacity. Measure out ground coffee
doses, pulling the lever. Turn on the switch (position I) until the coffee amount will be the desired amount (manual version).
The automatic dosing coffee-grinder models (12/A - 8/A - 8/CA) start and stop grinding automatically.
Always switch off the appliance when not in use and at the end of the day.

5.1 SETTING GROUND COFFEE DOSES (for appliances with doser)
6.1 STEPPED REGULATION
6.2 MICROMETRIC REGULATION
6. GRINDING ADJUSTMENT
Turn the pin inside the coffee dispenser clockwise to decrease the coffee dose or anticlockwise
to increase the coffee dose (see fig. 3).
Press the grinder pin and turn the nut in the direction you wish: “+” shows the rotation direction
to increase the coarseness of the ground coffee. “-” to decrease the coarseness of the ground
coffee (see fig. 4).
Turn the horizontal regulation knobs to change the coarseness of the ground coffee.Micrometric
regulation does not require blocking.
“+” shows the rotation direction to increase the coarseness of the ground coffee.“-“ to decrease
the coarseness of the ground coffee (see fig. 5).
We recommend grinding and using a few grams of coffee each time you change the coarseness,
which will help remove the small amount of ground coffee already inside the grinder.
If the coffee flow is too slow it means that the ground coffee is too fine, while if the flow is too
fast it means the ground coffee is too course. Many other factors can also affect the coffee flow,
such as the amount of coffee, how much it has been pressed, the appliance adjustment, the
cleanliness of the filters and the climatic conditions.
