VARIO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL
Some recipes use visual descriptions to describe the grind size required, such as “ground to the consistency
of kosher salt.” To visually determine the necessary grind setting, grind a small amount of coffee into the
grounds bin
(13)
by pressing the START/STOP button, then press it again to stop the grinding. Check the
grind size. If the grind size is close to what is desired use the micro adjustment lever to fine-tune the grind
size. If the grind size needs a large adjustment, adjust the macro adjustment lever to a new position.
TIME PRESET PROGRAMMING:
The Vario+ is equipped with three programmable buttons labeled 1, 2, and 3. Each button comes standard
with the following time presets (in seconds): 1 = 10s, 2 = 15s, 3 = 30s. The time saved under each preset can
be adjusted by doing the following:
1. Select either preset 1, 2, or 3
(9)
.
2. Press the up or down arrow buttons
(4)
to adjust the time preset. Once the desired time value is
reached, press and hold the numbered preset button for 3 seconds. The time value on the display
will blink to indicate that the new preset setting is stored.
3. To program the other presets, repeat steps 1 and 2. These grind time settings will still be saved
even if the grinder is unplugged and then plugged back in.
MANUAL MODE:
To grind continuously without using a preset, press MANUAL
(8)
, then press START/STOP. The grinder will
run, and the display will count up until START/STOP is pressed or until the max run time of 60.0 seconds is
reached. When the grinder is stopped, the motor will stop, and the run time will be displayed for 1 second.
SLEEP MODE:
To minimize standby power consumption, the Vario+ will go into “sleep mode” automatically after 3 minutes
of non-use. While in sleep mode, the screen goes blank. To “wake up” the Vario+, press any button.
