VARIO W+ OPERATIONS MANUAL
Some recipes use visual descriptions to describe the grind size required, such as “ground to the consistency
of kosher salt.” To visually determine the necessary grind setting, grind a small amount of coffee into the
grounds bin
(10)
by pressing the START/STOP button, then press it again to stop the grinding. Check the
grind size. If the grind size is close to what is desired use the micro adjustment lever to fine-tune the grind
size. If the grind size needs a large adjustment, adjust the macro adjustment lever to a new position.
WEIGHT-BASED PROGRAMMING:
Various aspects of the weight function of the Vario W+ can be adjusted as outlined below.
Programming Grind Weight Presets:
The Vario W+ is equipped with three programmable weight preset buttons
(9)
labeled 1, 2, and 3. Each
button comes standard with the following weight presets (in grams): 1 = 15.0g, 2 = 30.0g, 3 = 60.0g. The
weight saved under each preset can be adjusted by doing the following:
1. Select either preset 1, 2, or 3.
2. Press the up or down arrow buttons to adjust the weight preset. Once the desired weight value
is reached, press and hold the numbered preset button for 3 seconds. The weight value on the
display will blink to indicate that the new preset setting is stored.
3. To program the other presets, repeat steps 1 and 2. These grind weight settings will still be saved
even if the grinder is unplugged and then plugged back in.
Programmable Offset:
The Vario W+ comes equipped with a programmable offset. The offset is set to 0.0 grams from the factory.
If the amount of coffee ground is consistently over the preset weight, adding to the offset will allow for more
accurate dosing. To change the offset:
1. Unplug the grinder.
2. Plug the grinder back in and hold the up and down arrows as the grinder boots up.
3. The current offset will display.
4. Use the up and down arrows to change the offset by 1 tenth of a gram at a time. The offset must
be 0.0 or greater, and a negative offset is not possible.
Press the START/STOP button and the new offset will be saved. Once saved, the grinder will return to
the last used grind weight preset and the grinder can be used with this new offset in place
