Initial Operation
Place the Forté
TM
grinder on a lev-
el surface. With the hopper lid in
place, mount the hopper on the
grinder housing by lining up the
two small tabs at the base of the
hopper with the two slots inside
the collar on the top of the grinder.
The Hopper Guard Open/Closed
lever is oriented toward the back
of the grinder.
Turn the hopper clockwise until the
back tab lines up with the small
notch in the colar. There will be a
destinct increase in friction as the
hopper locks in place. Insert the
power plug into an AC outlet. Pour
the desired quantity of roasted,
whole coffee beans into the hop-
per. Replace the lid and turn the
Hopper Guard counter-clockwise
to the OPEN position. Center the
ground coffee bin in front of the
grinder and slide it in onto the load
cell platform. Press WEIGHT, then
press TARE. The display should
now read 00.0. Press button 1,
then press START.
Setting the Macro and Micro
Grind Adjustment
Note
Partially ground coffee beans may
remain between the burrs when the
grinder is turned off. When making
ANY grind adjustment the grinder
must be running. After a macro or
micro adjustment is made, allow
5 grams of coffee to pass through
the grinder to receive the desired
grind.
Insert the bean hopper then rotate
clockwise to lock in place.
The Forté
TM
