HOW TO USE YOUR COFFEE GRINDER
• Place the appliance on a flat surface.
• Pull out the length of cord required.
• Place the supply cord in the appropriate slot on
the base of the appliance and plug into the
socket.
• Remove the coffee bean container lid by lifting it
off and fill the container with the desired quantity
of coffee beans, up to a maximum of 250g.
• Replace the lid.
• Make sure that the ground coffee container is
correctly positioned.
• Turn the ON/OFF knob to switch on the coffee
grinder and rotate it clockwise to the time
desired. If the control is fixed at 10 a quantity
sufficient for about 10 cups will be ground.
However, only use this ratio as a standard since
the quantity will vary according to taste, the type
and roasting of the coffee beans and the degree
of grinding selected. The intermediate regulations
of the quantity control represent the
corresponding proportions.
• Regulate the grinding while the appliance is in
use, so as to avoid the coffee beans blocking the
grinding mechanism. The degrees of grinding are
indicated on the regulator by a series of dots
ranging from the smallest, indicating fine
grinding, up to the largest, indicating a rougher
grind.
You will discover the degree of grinding that suits
your taste best through the use of the machine.
• The coffee grinder will stop automatically when
the selected time ends. If you wish to interrupt the
grinding before the selected time ends, turn the
knob anti-clockwise until the appliance switches
off.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
• Always keep the lid of the coffee bean container
tightly closed so as to keep in all the flavour and
aroma of the coffee beans.
• Only grind the quantity of coffee required.
• Never exceed the MAX level indicated on the
ground coffee container so as to avoid the motor
overheating.
