Operation
8.1. Using the K-3 & K-3 Elite
To turn the machine on and off, use the On-Off switch (14). The
machine will start to grind the coffee. If the automatic stop option
is incorporated, the grinder will stop grinding when the dispenser
reaches the maximum level, and will restart after 8 portions of
coffee have been served, grinding again to the maximum level. If
the machine does not incorporate the automatic stop option, we
recommend that you fill the doser 75% of its capacity in order to
guarantee consistent dosing.
To serve the coffee servings, place the portafilter on the support
crutch (13) as far in as possible so that it is positioned under the
ground coffee discharge tube. Pull the dispensing handle (11) to
obtain one coffee serving (one serving is equal to one cup of
coffee), and release it so it returns to its normal position. Fig. 7.
Take the portafilter and place it under the coffee tamper (12),
pressing upwards to pack the coffee. Fig. 8.

7.3. Coffee regulation for the K-3 Touch
The K-3 Touch model grinding time is factory regulated to serve
portions of approximately 7 g. To change the grinding time, turn off
the machine using the 3-position switch (10).
Turn the plastic axle located on the underside of the machine. If
turned clockwise, the quantity of coffee will be increased and if
turned counter-clockwise, the amount will be reduced. Fig. 6.
Turn the 3-position switch to position 1. Check that the amount of
ground coffee is correct. If not, repeat the operation.
