Filling the coffee bean hopper
■
Pour freshly roasted beans into the coffee bean hopper
A2
and close the lid
A1
. For
the safety reasons, do not leave the hopper
A2
open. The coffee beans would also
lose their aroma.
Warning:
The maximum capacity of the hopper
A2
is 350 g. Do not
overfill it past the maximum mark. Never fill the coffee bean
hopper
A2
with ground or instant coffee, caramelised or
otherwise specially modified coffee beans, cocoa beans or
other items. Otherwise, this could damage the appliance.
Note:
If you do not use the coffee beans, remove the hopper
A2
from the coffee
grinder and pour the coffee beans into the airtight container and store it.
Grinding coffee
1. Fully unwind the power cord and insert the power cord plug to the power socket.
2. The Start/Stop button
A3
will be illuminated.
3. Place the lid
A5
on the ground coffee container
A6
and put the ground coffee
container
A6
under the ground coffee outlet
A11
. The opening of the lid should be
aligned with the ground coffee outlet
A11
so that the ground coffee falls directly
into the ground coffee container
A6
.
4. Using the dial
A9
, set the desired grinding fineness level depending on the coffee
machine:
–
levels 1 – 6 are suitable for espresso type machines;
–
levels 6 – 8 are suitable for percolator;
–
levels 8 – 11 are suitable for drip coffee machines;
–
levels 11 – 15 are suitable for plunger.
5. Using the dial

, choose the required amount of ground coffee according to
the number of cups you will prepare. You can set the amount from 2 to 10 cups.
Moreover, using the dial, you can choose a manual grind for 5 minutes.

A3
and the grinding will start. During the grinding, the
Start/Stop button

.
7. Once the grinding process has been finished, the coffee grinder will turn off
automatically. The Start/Stop button
A3
will remain illuminated.
8. If you no longer use the coffee grinder, disconnect the power cord plug from the
power socket.
■
If, during the grinding, the ground coffee container
A6
gets full, or the coffee bean
hopper
A2
gets empty, always stop the operation of the coffee grinder by pressing
the Start/Stop
A3
button at first, and then disconnect the power cord plug from the
power socket. Then empty the container
A6
, or refill the coffee beans, assembly the
coffee grinder, insert the power cord plug to the power socket and turn it on again
by pressing the Start/Stop button
A3
.
Note:
If the coffee grinder is operated continuously for 5 minutes, it is important
to allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes. Disconnect the power cord
plug from the power socket while the coffee grinder is cooling down. This is
a safety precaution to prevent the coffee grinder from possible damage. It
is recommended to grind coffee for 90 seconds and then allow the coffee
grinder to cool down for 90 seconds before turning on again.
Note:
The maximum capacity of the ground coffee container
A6
is approximately
150g. After each grind, pour the ground coffee into the airtight container
and store it according to the instructions of the coffee bean manufacturer.
The ground coffee container
A6
supplied with the coffee grinder is not
intended for storing ground coffee.
Sleep mode
■
The coffee grinder will automatically enter the sleep mode after 90 seconds of
inactivity.
Recommendations for purchasing and storing coffee
■
To shorten the storage time, purchase coffee beans in smaller packages.
■
Use fresh roasted coffee beans with a marked roasting date and consume them
within 3 weeks of the roasting date.
■
Store coffee beans in a cool, dark and dry location, ideally in an air-tight container.
■
We recommend grind the coffee beans immediately prior to brewing the coffee
beverage. Coffee that is ground in advance loses its flavour and aroma.
Recommended coffee grinding fineness
■
This appliance is equipped with a 15-level regulation to enable the grinding fineness
to be adjusted to various coffee brewing methods. When the ground coffee is used
in espresso type machines, select a finer grinding level. For brewing percolated
coffee, select a coarser grind.
■
When the ground coffee is used in espresso type machines, and coffee flows out too
slowly and its taste is too bitter, it may mean that the coffee beans have been ground
too finely and it is necessary to set a coarser grind. On the other hand, if the brewed
coffee is flowing out too fast and its taste is bland, it may mean that the coffee grains
are too coarsely ground and it is necessary to set a finer grind.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■
Before cleaning, disconnect the power cord plug from the power socket and allow
the coffee grinder to cool down.
■
For cleaning, do not use cleaning products with an abrasive effect, solvents, etc. that
could damage the appliance. No part of this appliance is intended for washing in
a dishwasher.
Warning:
To prevent the risk of injury by electrical shock, do not
submerge the appliance, power cord or power plug into
water or another liquid.
