Filling the bean container
Warning!
Hazard for persons allergic to
caffeine.
Since a residual quantity of the
previously used beans remains above
the grinder, the two types of beans
mix when changing to a different bean
type. Consequently, when switching
over to decaffeinated beans, the rst
two cups may still contain coffee that
is not decaffeinated. This means that
only the third cup of coffee prepared
after the switchover is free of caffeine.
The 2-chamber "Bean Select" bean
container can be lled with two different
types of coffee beans. Change the coffee
type by using the tilt lever.
• Fill bean container 7with fresh coffee
beans (max. 135 g per chamber).

the tilt lever to the appropriate chamber.

Adjusting the grinding
neness
The grinding neness level was optimally
adjusted prior to delivery. It is therefore
recommended to only adjust the grinding
neness after about 1 000 coffee
preparations (about 1 year).
The grinding neness can only be set
while the mill is running. Thus, the
grinding neness should be adjusted
directly after coffee dispensing starts.
If the coffee avour is not sufciently
intense, it is recommended to set a ner
grinding level.
Place the lever 14 in one of the three
positions (as viewed from the rear of the
appliance).
