1. Security notices
CE – This machine conforms to the following EC guidelines:
• 2006/95/EG “Low Voltage Directive”,
• 2004/108/EG “EMV Directive”.
Specications
Mains voltage: 230 V
Power input: 100 W
Note: Your coffee machine has a cord storage compartment – if the power
cord is too long, any surplus can be accommodated in the storage area on
the underside of the machine to avoid accidents (g. 5).
2. Before use
Before you rst use the machine, please wipe all components with a dry cloth. Then plug the
machine into the mains power supply.
3. Preparing the machine
3.1 Unpacking and assembling the machine
Carefully unpack all the components of the coffee machine and wipe them with a dry cloth.
Make sure that the grinder mechanism under the rubber seal contains no substances, and that
the rubber seal is correctly tted.
Place the bean container (g. 1/B) on the case so that the black dot on the bean container is
aligned with the black mark on the right side of the case.
Before turning the bean container, put the lid on (g. 1/A) – it is far easier and more secure to
turn the bean container with the lid on.
3.2 Preparation and instructions for use
Please add just a few beans the very rst time you operate the grinder.
This coffee grinder works with conical grinding gear made from hardened stainless steel and a power-
ful dynamometric motor in order to grind your beans to precisely the level of neness you require.
The grinding process is relatively slow so that the beans are exposed to minimal heat and thus retain
as much aroma as possible.
The bean container and ground coffee container are removable for easy cleaning.
4. Grinding coffee
4.1 Grinder settings
The machine offers a total of 16 distinct settings for grind neness – almost innitely variable.
Each of the 4 main settings is subdivided into 4 sub-settings, so that you can select any setting for
your coffee from extra-ne through ne and medium to coarse (g 2).
Preferences vary considerably, so we recommend that you try out various settings depending on the
coffee roast and your personal taste.
2. Before use / 3. Preparing the machine / 4. Grinding coffee
Here are some basic hints to help you nd your ideal setting:
• Coarse is particularly suitable if you wish to make lter coffee by hand.
• Medium is recommended for use in traditional boiler-style espresso machines.
• Fine should be selected for use in lter coffee machines or automatic pump-pressure espresso
machines.
• Extra-ne is recommended for making mocha or coffee by hand.
4.2 Grinding coffee
Grinding coffee is only possible with the bean container on and if any grinder setting has been se-
lected. If the grinder setting indicator (g. 2) is far right, the grinder will not operate.
The machine allows you to select the desired quantity of ground coffee by setting a grinding time.
You can set the desired length of time and therefore the quantity of coffee by turning the control
knob on the front of the machine (g. 3).
Add the desired bean variety to the bean container.
Make sure that the ground coffee container (g. 4) is in position and empty.
Turn the bean container to the desired grinder setting between extra-ne and coarse.
Then set the desired grinding time / coffee quantity by turning the control knob (g. 3).
The grinding process then starts automatically and immediately. It is complete when the timer control
knob reaches the ‘0’ position.
Tip: If you would like to stop the grinding process before the time is up, simply turn the bean container
(g. 1/B) to the right through the ‘coarse’ setting until it blocks. The grinding operation then stops im-
mediately, while the timer runs on until it reaches the ‘0’ position. It can be useful to stop the grinding
operation if you have set too great a quantity of coffee or if substances other than coffee have got into
the container and blocked the grinding mechanism.
5. Helpful tips and notes
Make sure you never grind coffee without the ground coffee container.
Do not remove the bean container if it still contains beans.
The ner the grinder setting, the longer is needed to grind a given quantity. For example, the
machine grinds more coffee in 20 seconds when set to coarse than when set to ne.
We recommend that you do not grind coffee for storage. Always grind your coffee immediately
before brewing to retain the full aroma.
Tap the machine gently a couple of times before removing the full ground coffee container – this
ensures that any ground coffee left in the grinding mechanism falls down into the container
before it is removed.
Never ll the ground coffee container over the “max.” mark. Excess ground coffee can be sucked
back up into the grinding mechanism, cause overheating and damage the machine!
Do not grind for longer than 3 minutes without a break, as this causes the machine parts to heat
up and some of the coffee aroma will be lost.
If you nd the coffee produced by your coffee machine too thin, or that it runs through too
quickly, select a ner grinder setting. If the brewing process is too slow, select a coarser setting.
Dark, oily beans require a grinder setting 1 or 2 levels coarser.
6. Cleaning
If you clean your machine regularly, it will last a long time. Please note that you should clean your
machine more regularly if you use dark, oily coffee beans than if you use light, drier coffee beans.
Always unplug the machine before cleaning.

4. Grinding coffee / 5. Helpful tips and notes / 6. Cleaning
Never put water or other liquids in the machine!
Remove the bean container and clean the grinding chamber below as often as possible with a
paintbrush or similar tool to prevent oily coffee residues from building up (to do this, please
remove the upper part of the grinding mechanism, holding it by the rubber seal).
Please clean the seal between the bean container and grinding mechanism using a paintbrush or
similar tool.
Clean the outside of the machine with a damp cloth – please ensure that all machine parts are
clean and dry before the next use.
You can remove the bean container and ground coffee container for easier cleaning.
Please note that the parts of your machine are not suitable for the dishwasher!
Tip: If you grind on the nest setting, it is recommended that you clean the grinding mechanism and
seal after every use.
7. Customer service
NIVONA products are designed to meet the highest quality standards. However, if questions do arise
while you operate your machine, we would like to hear from you. Your support is essential to our mis-
sion to further develop and improve our products so that they fully meet your needs.
8. Guarantee and customer service conditions
Please consult the detailed guarantee and customer service conditions in the appropriate information
booklet.
9. Protecting the environment
Electric and electronic appliances often contain valuable or harmful materials which should not
be processed in the same way as normal household waste. If incorrectly processed, they can harm
human health and the environment. Please therefore do not put your machine in the dustbin with
normal waste. Instead submit it to the “collection point for the disposal and recycling of electric and
electronic appliances” provided by your local council.
You can obtain further information from your local council, the waste collection services or the spe-
cialist retailer who sold you the product.
