Turn the grinder on and lower the
Macro and Micro levers, all the way to
the bottom. Let the grinder run long
enough to expel any remaining ground
coffee. Remove the grounds bin (For
Vario-W and Forte , TARE the grinder).
Now press any one of the preset
buttons, then press START and insert
the Calibration tool into the 2mm Allen
head screw (The grinder will run until
you press the STOP button). With the
motor running, move the Macro arm
up to the top (setting 1). You should
not hear any change in motor speed.
Now, slowly move the Micro arm up to
the midpoint(setting M). If the motor hasn’t started to slow, use the calibration
tool to turn the calibration screw toward the finer direction (as indicated on
tool) until you hear the motor start to slow. This setting will allow for a full
range of grind. If you want a coarser grind, insert the tool and turn the opposite
direction of the arrow on the tool.
Scale Calibration
If the display is showing “EEE”, “out” or the grinder is over or under-dosing
coffee, the scale needs to be calibrated. To do this you need a 200g weight. To
“create” a 200g weight, place the Forté grounds bin on a separate scale and
add whole coffee beans until the scale reads 200g (combined weight of bin
and beans). Keep your “200g weight” handy. Now, unplug the Forté and make
sure there is nothing on the scale platform. Plug the Forté back in, and while
it powers on, hold buttons M and WEIGHT, until a value between 1500-3000 is
Use the burr calibration tool while the grinder is
running.
