6. ASSEMBLY
6.1. Setting the device in the location of the planned installation
The area of operation of the coffee grinder is of crucial importance both for its performance and for the safety of the persons
operating the device. Setting and using the device in an improper location may cause adverse physiological changes, for
example postural defects or unnecessary excessive strain for the person operating the device. In light of the above mentioned
potential risks, the following precautions should be considered before making a decision on the operating location of the
device:
1. The coffee grinder should be set on a at, stable base, with a height which will enable easy and safe handling.
2. The device should be positioned in the correct distance from the electrical outlet, in such a way as to allow for conve-
nient connecting and disconnecting of the device plug from the socket (approx. 110 cm). When unplugging the device
from the socket, it is always necessary to pull by the plug and never pull by the cord.
3. In order to ensure correct operation of the device, and to allow for easy and safe handling and cleaning, it is always ne-
cessary to keep an appropriate distance from the surrounding devices or walls.
WIDTH: At least 20 cm free space should be left on both sides of the coffee grinder.
DEPTH: At least 20 cm free space should be left on the front and back of the device.
HEIGHT: At least 30 cm of free space should be provided above the grinder.
4. For your convenience, it is preferred to place the coffee grinder near the coffee machine. This will allow for avoiding
unnecessary movement from one device to the other.
5. Do not locate the coffee grinder near running water or in places in which foreign substances could get inside the device.
6. Do not leave the device near sources of heat such as radiators, or in conditions of draft or places where it may be expo-
sed to direct sunlight, excessive dust, adverse weather conditions such as rain or mechanical vibration or the danger of
impact or fall.
7. In order to prevent the overheating of the device during operation it should be located in a place with adequate ventila-
tion.
6.2. Connection to the power supply source
The device should be connected to a source of alternating current.
Before connecting the device to the electric network, make sure that the voltage and frequency at the location where the
device is installed are consistent with the values indicated on the name plate.
The power source must be grounded and equipped with a residual-current circuit breaker in accordance with the applicable
laws.
7. FIRST USE OF THE COFFEE GRINDER
Before the rst use of the coffee grinder ll the coffee beans container by following the instructions given below;
1. Make sure that the coffee beans container (2) is properly tted to the grind size adjustment plate (11).
2. Close the coffee beans feed lock (10) which stops their ow to the grinding chamber.

- 6 -
3. Lift the container lid (1), ll the container (2) with coffee grains and close the lid.
4. Open the coffee beans feed lock (10) to enable the feeding of the grains to the grinding chamber.
The manufacturer of the device assumes no liability for injury or other bodily harm to people and/or animals or for material
damage resulting from the incorrect installation of the coffee grinder, incorrect assembly of its elements, or non-compliance
with any of the instructions listed above.
8. GRINDING COFFEE BEANS
Turn the coffee grinder on using the ON/OFF button (8). The coffee beans will fall into the grinding chamber and ground
coffee will fall into the ground coffee dispenser (5).
When the ground coffee dispenser is lled, turn off the grinder using the ON/OFF button.
ONLY APPLIES TO MODELS WITH AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FUNCTION:
After the grinder is turned on using the ON/OFF button (8), the device will automatically stop its operation, once the ground
coffee dispenser drops to a certain level. The grinder will start working automatically and ll the ground coffee dispenser and
will shut off automatically when the ground coffee container is full.
9. DOSING OF GROUND COFFEE
1. Place the lter basket of the coffee machine on the protection cover under the direct outlet (7) located under the gro-
und coffee dispenser.

2. Pull the lever of the dispenser towards yourself in order to get a single dosing. Release the lever allowing it to return to
the previous position.
3. Place the lter basket of the coffee machine under the ground coffee tamper (6) and press the coffee by pushing the
basket up.
If you want to ensure that the ground coffee dispenser (5) is always full (although this is not necessary), the coffee grinder
should be turned on every time when a single dosing is taken, and turned off once the ground coffee dispenser (5) is full again.
(Please note that this step is performed automatically in models equipped with an automatic stop and automatic resume
function).
10. COFFEE GRIND SIZE SETTING
In other models of the coffee grinders, it is possible to adjust the size of the coffee grind: ne/coarse ground, through the

2. Turn the coffee container TO THE RIGHT as indicated by the „F” arrow on the plate.
To obtain COARSELY GROUND COFFEE:
1. Disconnect the coffee grinder from the source of electricity.
2. Turn the coffee container TO THE LEFT as indicated by the „G” arrow on the plate.
CAUTION: If the coffee container is completely removed from its place, the grinding discs are exposed, which may result
in serious danger if the grinder is turned on. Don’t turn the coffee grinder on unless all the moving and removable parts are
correctly installed in their place.

5. All works associated with the maintenance of the coffee grinder may only be carried out when the device is turned off
and disconnected from the source of power supply.
19. MAINTENANCE OF THE COFFEE GRINDER
It is necessary to regularly check the condition of the grinding burrs. This is very important because the wear of these
elements leads to a deterioration in the quality of the ground coffee, an increase in electricity consumption and overheating of
the grinder engine.
In order to avoid these negative effects, it is necessary to replace the grinding burrs each time after the coffee grinder has
ground the indicated amount of coffee beans (in kilograms).
The replacement of the grinding burrs should be carried out by the technical service personnel or by qualied service
personnel authorized by the device supplier.
20. ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE
It is necessary to regularly check the condition of the power cord, the plug and ON/OFF button.
The COFFEE GRINDER MAY NOT BE ACTIVATED in the event of any damage or signs of wear. In such case it is necessary to
disconnect the device from the power supply and immediately contact the technical service. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR
THE COFFEE GRINDER ON YOUR OWN.
21. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
It is necessary to regularly check the condition of the individual elements of the coffee grinder – the coffee beans container,
the ground coffee dispenser, the external elements of the device, etc.
The COFFEE GRINDER MAY NOT BE ACTIVATED in the event of any damage or signs of wear of the individual elements of
the device. In such case it is necessary to disconnect the device from the power supply and immediately contact the technical
service.
