Adjusting the dose
Before changing the dose, make sure all chambers in the dosing
wheel are full and that the coffee has been rolled as described on the
previous page. See page 8 for details of the dispensing unit.
1. Turn the dose adjustment knob
one click to change the dose:
To
reduce
the dose, turn the
knob
clockwise
.
To
increase
the dose, turn the
knob
anti-clockwise
.
While making this adjustment, place a
finger or thumb into the dispensing
unit outlet so the wheel is prevented
from turning.
2. After making an adjustment, test
the dose by grinding more coffee
and rolling it to ensure all dosing
chambers are full. Fill a single cup
basket and tamp the grounds, then check if the right quantity of
coffee has been dispensed. Make further adjustments as
required.
