SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce your risk of tripping over
or otherwise becoming entangled with a longer cord. Longer extension
cords are available and may be utilized if care if exercised in their use. If an
extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance (120 volts).
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter or table-top, where it may be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
Operating Instructions
Initial Operation
Place the Maestro Grinder on a level surface. Unreel the required length of
cord and insert the plug into the outlet. Remove the lid from the hopper by
lifting it off. Place the desired quantity of coffee beans into the hopper up to
a maximum of 8 oz. Replace the lid.
Setting the Grind Control
Note: If the grinder has been filled with coffee beans, the grinding
control must only be operated when the motor is running.
Slowly rotate the bean hopper clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired
setting. With use, you will find the most suitable settings for your own taste.
The following symbols can be used as a guide for adjusting the grind.
Adjust the degree of grind from:
Smallest (far left)
Turkish
ultra-fine*
Espresso
fine
Drip
medium
Largest (far right)
French Press
coarse
*This setting is too fine for espresso, may clog porta-filter.
Quantity Control
The Maestro grinder is equipped with a time control
knob for ease of repeatable grinding time and coffee
quantity. Use it to set the coffee grinder to the desired
grinding time and quantity. The grinder switches off
automatically once the preset time has elapsed. If you
want to interrupt grinding before the preset time has
elapsed, simply turn the rotary knob back to the left
until the grinder switches off.
The quantity of ground coffee you need to make your coffee depends on the
type of bean, coarseness of the grind, and personal taste. With use, you
will find the most suitable settings for your own taste.
