Maintenance
SERVICING
• Clean the pepper outlet, the pepper holder and the grinding mechanism from time to time. Always turn the
appliance off (switch 13 on position 0) and unplug it.
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any work on the appliance, it must in all cases be unplugged from the mains power supply
and the motor start capacitor discharged.
DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR
Use a screwdriver with insulated handle to touch the 2 connectors on the capacitor. The appearance of an
electric arc shows that the capacitor has discharged.
SPARE PARTS
This machine requires no specific maintenance. The bearings are lubricated for life. If work is required to
replace worn parts such as the grindstones or the electric or other components, refer to the parts list (see
exploded view at the end of the manual).
PROLONGED PERIODS OF NON-USE
There are no problems with this appliance in the event of prolonged periods of non-use. You are simply
advised to clean it before use and check that the components of the appliance are in good condition (e.g.
power cord, seals and other spare parts).
REPLACING THE GRINDSTONES
IMPORTANT: always change both 2 grindstones (17) at the same time.
The 2 grinding wheels are identical and can be fitted equally either on the moving plate (18) (moving grinding
wheel) or on the cast metal adjustment block (19) (fixed grinding wheel).
1. Stop the machine by putting the switch (13) to “0” and disconnect the power supply cord.
2. Close the shutter (3) on the bean hopper (2). Take off the bean hopper (2).
3. Turn the grinding wheel gap adjuster button (6) clockwise until it comes to a halt at the “COARSE” setting.”
4. Unscrew the nuts (16) and remove the whole grinding unit (15), to gain access to the grinding wheels.
5. Change the grinding wheels (3 fastening screws) after carefully cleaning the supporting surfaces.
TAKE CARE: The slightest small pepper particle under the grinding wheel may prevent the machine
from operating correctly. It is recommended that the grinder body is cleaned with a compressed air
jet or a dry brush.
6. Reassemble the grinding unit (15) and adjust the grinding gap to its minimum setting.
Before tightening the fastening nuts (16) on the grinding unit (15), check that the dial (4) of the grinding
wheel adjuster button (6) is set to “COARSE”. This precaution is essential to prevent any risk of the
grinding wheels being brought too close to each other, which could cause damage to the grinding unit.
