CAUTION
– Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal
scouring pads), or any corrosive cleaners (e.g. disinfectants) for cleaning. Do not
use any hard or sharp-edged objects for cleaning the appliance.
Do not place the
appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
3. Before first use and after an elongated time of storage, clean all removable parts
and the accessories according to the instructions given in this booklet (see: ‘Care
and Cleaning’).
OPERATION
WARNING
–
Do not leave young children without supervision, if the
grinder or any part of it is in their reach.
For various useful tips concerning the use of the grinder, please refer to ‘Tips for Best Results’.
CAUTION
– The DESIGN COFFEE GRINDER ADVANCED PLUS is inten-
ded for short-term operation only.
Do not let the appliance operate continuously
for more than 2 minutes.
Turn off the appliance after 2 minutes of use and allow
the motor to cool down for 10 minutes before turning it on again. Avoiding over-
heating will preserve the quality of the ground coffee powder as well as protect
the appliance and ensure a long-lasting lifetime.
IMPORTANT -
When the grinder will not be used for more than a week, we
recommend to empty the grinder (bean hopper and grinder chamber) and clean
the appliance thoroughly (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). This will prevent residues of
coffee beans and coffee powder from going bad within the grinder, causing an
unpleasant, stale taste and flavour of your coffee.
SELECTING THE GRIND SIZE
The grind size influences the water flow rate through the coffee powder and the rate
of extraction of flavours. When selecting the grind size, you should take your brew-
ing method into consideration, because each brewing method requires an appropri-
ately adjusted grind size (see: ‘Tips for Best Results’).
NOTE
The smaller the number, the finer the grind size. We recommend, starting with a
medium grind size within the range that is sufficient for your preferred brewing
method. After checking the results, adjust the setting in small steps as required.
The values given in the following table are approximations meant for guidance. Your
preferred setting may vary according to your individual liking.

extra coarse
Pour-over, plunger coffee makers and French press, or cold brew coffee
IMPORTANT -
Whenever possible, set the grind size, before filling the bean hop-
per. Especially, if you wish to set a finer grind size (smaller numbers) with coffee
beans being in the grinder already, always let the motor run, while setting the
grind size. Otherwise, coffee beans may get caught between the grinding tools
and block the motor (see: ‘Operation / Removing Blockages’).
There are 16 possible settings that can be selected via the grind size dial at the
right side of the grinder head. Your setting will be active, until you change it again.
For setting the grind size with coffee beans in the grinding chamber, start the grin-
der and turn the grind size dial slowly to the desired number (see: ‘Grinding into the
Storage Container’).
SETTING THE AMOUNT
The grind time determines the amount of coffee powder given off. You may set the
required grind time for getting the desired amount for your preferred brewing method
and amount of brewed coffee. The setting is kept until you change it again.
NOTE
Setting the grind time is effective only for grinding into the storage container.
When grinding into a portafilter, the grinder is started and stopped via the porta-
filter (see: ‘Grinding into a Portafilter’).
The grind time can be set between 0 (off) and 50 seconds. When using a drip cof-
fee maker, any amount from 2 to 10 cups can be ground in a single grinding cycle.
