10. If grinding at the coarsest setting does not yield coarse enough grinds, the calibration can be set to a finer
point, up to 1A. If grinding at the finest setting does not yield fine enough grinds, the calibration can be set
to a coarser point, down to 3Z. It is not recommended to calibrate outside these parameters.
SCALE CALIBRATION:
If the amount of ground coffee yielded in weight mode does not match expectations, the scale may need to be
recalibrated. A 200g weight is needed or, if another scale is available, a makeshift weight can be made by filling
the grounds bin with something small like coffee beans to equal a total weight of 200g, including the weight of the
grounds bin. Once a weight is acquired, follow the instructions below.
1.
Remove the grounds bin
(8)
or PortaHolder
(18, AP)
from the scale platform
(9)
. Ensure that the scale
platform is clear of any debris, and that the screws on top are tightened so that the platform does not shift.
2.
Unplug the grinder. Plug it back in and hold grind presets
(15)
1 and 2 while the grinder is booting up. A
three-digit number should be displayed.
3.
Press the manual mode button
(14)
, and ‘CAL’ should flash on the screen before displaying ‘200g.’
4.
Place the 200g weight on the scale. ‘PASS’ will flash on the screen, then ‘000.’
5.
Unplug and plug in the grinder again to save the calibration.
WEIGHT OFFSET PROGRAMMING:
If the grinder consistently overshoots or undershoots the target weight, the offset may need to be adjusted. This is
most likely to occur if the original burrs have been swapped out for burrs of another material. Follow the instructions
below to adjust the weight offset:
1.
Unplug the grinder. Plug it back in and hold the stop
(11)
and weight mode
(12)
icons while the grinder is
booting up.
2.
Use the grind adjustment buttons
(10)
to adjust the offset in tenths of a second.
