7)INSTALLATIONANDWIRING
The appliance must be installed by skilled technical personnel in conformity with
the safety rules in force. Incorrect installation may result in injury of persons or
animals, or damage to property, for which the manufacturer cannot be held
responsible.
•The appliance must be placed on a stable,flat surface.
•Before plugging in the appliance, make sure the voltage and frequency values of
the supply mains correspond to the ratings indicated on the label featuring the
appliance’s technical data.
•The wall socket must be fitted with an efficient earth contact.Consequently, it
is essential to make sure the earth system is efficient and in conformity with
current safety rules.If in any doubt,have the system thoroughly checked by per-
sonnel with the appropriate professional skills.
IT IS COMPULSORYTOEARTHTHE APPLIANCE.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible in the event this regulation is not
complied with.
•It is essential to make sure the ratings of the system are suitable for the power
absorbed by the appliance - as indicated on the label featuring the technical data
- and that the wall socket is protected against overcurrents.
•Do not use extension cables, plug adapters for multiple sockets or makeshift
connections.
•
In EEC member countries,the regulation in force calls for the external equipoten-
tial terminal on the outer part of the appliance’s base plate to be connected
to a equipotential node if the installation is to be correct.
•The motor must rotate clockwise.If the rotation of three-phase motors
is to be inverted, by inverting the two power supply wires inside the plug, this
must be carried out by skilled personnel.
•THE HOPPER MUST BE FASTENED TO THE APPLIANCE’S GRINDING
SYSTEM BY MEANS OF THE RELEVANT SCREW which must be inserted in
the threaded hole located on the upper grinding blade holder and in the hole
on the neck of the hopper.

8) OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE
PRELIMINARIES
Make sure the hopper is positioned correctly on the
appliance and is fastened to the upper grinding blade
holder by means of the relevant screw.
Close the locking slide and fill the hopper with coffee
beans. Open the locking slide so that the beans are
allowed to drop into the grinding system.
SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON AND OFF
GRINDER-DOSERS WITH MANUAL SWITCH AND COFFEE GRINDERS
The on-off switch is used to turn the appliance both on and off.
To switch on:set the switch to I.
To switch off: set the switch to O.
GRINDER-DOSERS WITH TIME SWITCH
In order to switch the appliance on, turn the timer knob clockwise.
The appliance switches off automatically.In order to switch it off manually,turn the
knob anticlockwise all the way.
AUTOMATICGRINDER-DOSERS
In order to power up the appliance,turn the on-off switchknob to I.In orderto swit-
ch the appliance on manually,the switchknob mustbe turned all the way (to START).
The appliance starts up automatically every 12 portions of coffee (every 6 portions
in the MINI model). It switches off automatically when the doser is filled with
ground coffee.
In order to switch off the appliance manually, set the on-off switch knob to O.
ADJUSTING GRINDING
In order to achieve finer or coarser grinding, the adjustment disk located under the
hopper must be adjusted using the relevant handle.
In order to increase the coarseness of
the ground coffee,the disk must be
rotated clockwise; to decrease, turn
the disk anticlockwise.
The disk remains in the chosen posi-
tion without having to be locked in
place.

ENGLISH
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.
In the grinder-doser version,if the coffee comes out of the espresso coffee machi-
ne 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 wei-
ght of the portions, the compacting, the espresso machine settings, and the clea-
ning of the filters.
COFFEE DOSE ADJUSTMENT
(grinder-doser version)
In order to adjust the size of the portion dispensed,the small knob located in the
centre of the ground coffee storage container must be turned while holding still
the star shaped dosing unit.
By turning the small knob clockwise,the portion is reduced. Turning it anti-
clockwise results in an increase.
In order to collect the portions of ground coffee dispensed,insert the coffee machine’s
filter holder all the way onto the fork-shaped support under the ground coffee outlet.
In order to release a portion of ground coffee, the doser lever must be pulled
all the way and allowed to return on its own. Pull twice in a row for a double
portion.
In manual coffee grinder-dosers and those with time switches,in order to assure the
portions are regular, check every now and again to make sure the amount of coffee
ground to be found in the doser is sufficient to cover the feeding star unit.

9)WARNINGS REGARDING OPERATION
•
Never leave the automatic coffee grinder-dosers onwithout coffee in the hopper.
•In the grinder-doser version, avoid pulling the doserlever partially,always pull it
all the way.
•In the coffee grinder version it is essential that nothing hinders the flow of
ground coffee from the outlet in any way in order to prevent the risk of the
appliance stopping. Consequently, avoid using coffee bags which are too small
with respect to the amount of coffee to be ground.
•OPERATING RANGE OF THE MOTOR:
IN THE VERSIONS WITH SINGLE-PHASE MOTORS,THE APPLIANCE CAN
BE ALLOWEDTOWORK FOR A MAXIMUM OF 30 MINUTES,AFTER
WHICH IT MUST BE TURNED OFF AND ALLOWEDTO COOL DOWN.
In order to achieve good grinding, it is nonetheless recommended to operate the
appliance at intervals,allowing it to operate for no more than 10-15 minutes at a time.
10) SAFETY DEVICES
•THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The appliance’s motor is protected againstoverheating resulting from overcurrents
by a thermal overload protection 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 mains,and skilled technical personnel contacted.
Never perform any work on the appliance while it is attached to the mains.
If the appliance overheats as a result of the motor stopping,allow the appliance
to cool down before performing any repair work.
•The hopper must always be attached to the upper grinding blade holder using the
relevant screw,which must not be removed by the user under any circumstances.
•In order to prevent the
adjustment disk from
being removed - which
would make the rotating
parts accessible - there is a
safety screw on the actual
disk: said screw must be
positioned in whichever of
the two holes on the disk enables the wider and most suitable range of grinding
adjustment,and must not be removed by the user under any circumstances.
