Short-time operation
e appliance has been designed for short-
term operation only, i.e. it should not be
operated continuously for more than 2
minutes. Switch o the appliance aerwards
and allow the motor to cool down (10 Min.)
before switching it on again.
ermal safety cut-out
e appliance has an integral safety cut-out
which protects it from overheating. Should
the cut-out have been activated, allow the
appliance to cool down to room temperature
before switching on again
Before using for the rst time
Before initial use, the grinding mechanism,
bean and collection containers should be
cleaned as described in the section General
care and cleaning.
Operation
Adjusting the grind level
–e adjustment control allows for
adjustment of the coarse/ne setting in
several steps. Depending on the type of
coee and the preparation method used,
the following information on grinding
levels may be helpful
Adjustable grind settings:
-1-6 for automatic coee makers
-7-9 for brewing when no machine is
used
is appliance is not suitable for grinding
espresso beans.
–Caution: To prevent beans from getting
caught in the grind mechanism and
causing possible jamming of the motor,
always set the grind level rst before
putting the beans into the container. If
the beans have already been put in, the
grind level should only be changed while
the motor is running.
– Turn the coarse/ne adjustment wheel to
the desired setting.
Loading the coee beans
– Remove the lid of the bean container.
– Load the beans inside and replace the lid.
–e maximum capacity of the bean
container is 150 g.
Selecting the right quantity
– Use the quantity selector to set the amount
of ground coee desired. Any amount
from 1 to 10 cups can be processed in a
single cycle. However, the quantity-per-
cup information on the selecting knob is
approximate only. Since dierent types of
coee as well as miscellaneous factors such
as the size of the cups and your personal
preference may require a dierent setting,
we recommend that you try out whatever
suits your own personal taste.
–Note: If the quantity selector is set to
position ‘0’, no function will be selected.
–e maximum capacity of the collection
container is 100 g. Caution: Always make
sure you empty the collection container in
good time, as an over-full container may
cause a blockage inside the appliance.
Grinding the beans
– Make sure that the collection container
lid is properly tted before attaching the
container itself to the main unit.
– Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket.
– Press the start button.
–e grinding process begins and stops
automatically once the selected amount of
ground coee has been produced.
–e process can be stopped at any time by
pressing the start button again.
– Once grinding has nished, remove
the plug from the wall socket and wait
until the motor has come to a complete
standstill before removing and opening
the collection container.
zNote: To ensure optimum coee avour,
only the required quantity of beans should
be ground immediately before brewing.
Any excess ground coee should be stored
in a suitable air-tight container.
