Operating the appliance
WARNING: During operation do not use any object to stir in
the beans tank and never touch the running grinding block!
WARNING: The appliance is designed for a max. continuous operating time of 2 minutes (2 x 10
doses). If this time has been reached, the appliance has to cool down for at least 2 minutes.
If this is not observed, the motor might be damaged!
• The appliance is not qualified for poppy, nuts, sugar etc.! Non-observance invalidates warranty!
• Check regularly if the powder outlet is free from powder residues. The more oil-bearing the used beans,
the quicker can the outlet obstruct.
• Mind that the taste of coffee/espresso is rated very differently. Take the stated setting possibilities for
coarseness and powder quantity as basis and try yourself until you have found your individual taste and
the right quantity for preparation.
Inserting the powder container
• Place the cover on the powder container.
• Insert the powder container in the appliance until it latches audibly.
Filling the beans tank
• Before filling the beans tank it must be installed in the appliance.
• Remove the beans tank’s cover and fill in whole, roasted beans.
• Afterwards, attach the cover again.
NOTE:
The appliance has a safety system. The appliance only works if the beans tank is installed
correctly and the powder container (with cover) is inserted completely and locked!
Prior to initial use
For a start, please clean the appliance as well as all accessories. For more detailed information please refer
to “Cleaning and maintenance”.
• After a few minutes already, the ground powder loses more the 50 % of its flavour. Therefore, coffee
specialists recommend storing whole coffee beans and only grinding the quantity just needed.
• This appliance has a high-quality conical burr grinder. Thus, whole coffee beans can be ground especially
flavour-conserving. The coarseness can be set exactly in several levels from fine to coarse powder.
• Different coffee beverages require different coarseness settings; but also the beans’ sort and roasting
as well as your personal taste decide on how fine the coffee powder should be ground. Take our
recommendations (see below) as basis and try yourself by means of the very flexible setting possibilities
until you have found your individual coarseness setting.
o Coarse powder is suitable for hand-filtered coffee.
o Medium powder is used with usual boiler espresso machines.
o Fine powder is suitable for drip coffee makers or for automatic pump pressure espresso machines.
o Extra-fine powder is recommended for manual mocha-making.
