Operating

0 Before using the coffee grinder,

wipe the base exterior with a damp

cloth.

0 Wash the bean hopper (Fig. 1/B),

hopper lid (Fig. 1/A) and ground

coffee container (Fig. 1/P) in warm

soapy water, then rinse and dry.

1

Do not immerse the burrs in water

or any other liquid.

0 Place the coffee grinder on a dry,

level surface.

0 To attach the bean hopper, posi-

tion bean hopper onto the top of

the motor base, push down and

turn clockwise (see Fig. 2).

0 Fill the bean hopper with coffee

beans.

3

Remember to keep the hopper full

at all times. Having an even weight

bearing down on the burrs is

important to ensure a consistent

grind.

3

This coffee grinder is intended to

grind whole coffee beans only.

0 Place the hopper lid onto the bean

hopper.

0 Plug the power cord into a

220-240 V power outlet and switch

the power on.

3

You can hide unwanted cord in the

cord stuff (Fig. 1/L) on the under-

side of the appliance.

0 Select the grind by turning the

grind adjustment collar to the desi-

red setting (see Fig. 3).

Refer to the grind setting table in

section „Adjusting the Grind Set-

ting“ to assist you in selecting the

correct grind level for the desired

brewing method.

3

You can grind coffee into a filter

holder of any espresso coffee

maker, or, for other brewing styles,

into the ground coffee container

(Fig. 1/P).

To grind coffee into a filter

holder:

0 Position the filter holder into the fil-

ter holder locator (see Fig. 4).

3

There are two filter holder locators

provided: a smaller size to fit

domestic handles (Fig. 1/K) and a

larger size for commercial handles

(Fig. 1/J).

0 To grind coffee, press the filter hol-

der against the button (Fig. 1/E)

located in the centre of the filter

holder locator (see Fig. 5).

0 When the basket is full, pull the fil-

ter holder off the button. Collapse

the coffee in the basket by tapping

it on the bench and repeat until the

desired amount of coffee has been

ground.

To grind coffee into the ground

coffee container:

0 Remove the lid from the ground

coffee container (Fig. 1/P).

0 To grind coffee, press the ground

coffee container against the grind

on demand button (Fig. 1/E) (see

Fig. 6).

0 When the desired amount of coffee

is ground, pull the ground coffee

container off the button. Close the

container with the lid to preserve

freshness of the ground coffee.

1

Foreign objects like stones or

twigs can sometimes be found in

whole bean coffee and can cause

the coffee grinder to jam. Should

this occur refer to the „Care and

Cleaning“ section as these objects

need to be removed immediately.

Adjusting the Grind Setting

A starting point for grind settings:

3

The settings noted in the table

above are a starting guide only. For

example the setting for espresso

will vary depending on the quality

and roast degree of the beans and

the type of espresso extraction

desired.

The wide-range of 25 grind set-

tings allows for precision adjust-

ment. The coffee maker has

complete control of the particle

size and ultimately the quality of

the resulting brew.

Some things to remember when

using the coffee grinder:

• The smaller the particle size the

longer it will take to grind.

• When using the finer settings the

coffee may become stuck, we rec-

ommend tapping on the lid of the

bean hopper to dislodge any

clumps of coffee blocking the flow.

• After long periods of using the finer

settings we recommend removing

the upper burr and sweeping away

any residual coffee to avoid clog-

ging. See „Care and Cleaning“ for

more details.

Tips

1. Select the correct grind for the

brewing method you are using. 25

grind settings are available to

ensure precision adjustment. Set-

ting 1 produces the finest grind, 10

to 15 are medium grinds appropri-

ate for espresso coffee makers, and

25 is the coarsest grind you can

achieve. Experiment with the grind

settings to achieve the ideal brew

that best suits your tastes.

2. For drip filter coffee machines, a

good starting point is to use

8 grams (1 scoop) of coffee for

every 4 cups of brew water as

measured with the carafe. Finer

grinds usually require less coffee,

but using too fine a grind will result

in a brew that is bitter in flavour.

3. For those that prefer weaker

coffee, continue to use the recom-

mended amount of ground coffee

and then dilute the resulting brew

with fresh hot water. Doing this will

maximise flavour and minimise bit-

terness.

4. Coffee that is ground too fine for

a particular brewing process will

result in over-extraction and the

coffee will taste bitter. On the other

hand, coffee that is too coarse for

a particular brewing method will

result in under-extraction and the

coffee will be thin and poor in fla-

vour.

5. Once coffee is ground it quickly

loses its flavour and aroma. For the

best results we recommend you

grind beans immediately prior to

brewing.

6. Buy fresh whole coffee beans

weekly.

7. To retain freshness, store whole

coffee beans in an airtight con-

tainer in a cool, dark, dry place. It

is not recommended that you store

beans in the grinder’s bean hopper

for a prolonged period. The bean

hopper has a shutter release

mechanism for easy removal and

preventing accidental spills. It

allows to transfer any un-used

beans to an ideal storage unit.

8. To ensure the best results from

the coffee grinder clean the bean

hopper and conical burrs regularly.

Always Remember

Care and Cleaning

1

Ensure the coffee grinder is

switched off and unplugged from

the power outlet prior to cleaning.

Do not immerse the motor base of

the coffee grinder in water.

Do not immerse any part of the

burr assembly in water or any

other liquid.

Do not place any parts of the cof-

fee grinder in the dishwasher.

Do not use abrasive cleansers or

scouring pads.

3

Spots and marks on the surface of

the burrs are part of the hardening

process. These marks do not

affect the performance of the

grinder or the taste of the coffee.

Cleaning the motor base,

bean hopper and coffee con-

tainer

0 Remove the bean hopper from the

motor base: push down and turn

anti-clockwise, then lift off (see

Fig. 7). Store unused beans in an

airtight container to preserve their

freshness.

0 Clean the motor base exterior

using a damp soft sponge with

mild detergent and wipe dry.

0 Wash the bean hopper and coffee

container in warm soapy water,

then rinse and dry.

Cleaning the burrs

If the coffee grinder is used fre-

quently (every day), the burrs need

to be cleaned every three weeks to

ensure best performance of the

coffee grinder. Regular cleaning

helps the burrs achieve consistent

grinding results, which is especially

important when grinding coffee for

espresso.

0 Ensure the coffee grinder is swit-

ched off and unplugged from the

power outlet. Remove the bean

hopper from the motor base (see

Fig. 7).

0 To remove the top burr turn the

grind adjustment collar in an anti-

clockwise direction until it stops

(see Fig. 8).

0 Press and hold down the

‘UNLOCK’ button at the rear of the

motor base and with the other

hand turn the grind adjustment

collar anti-clockwise until it stops

and the graphic line on the collar is

aligned with the line on the motor

base (see Fig. 9).

0 Lift out the top burr from the grind

adjustment collar using the handle

(see Fig. 10). Clean using the burr-

cleaning brush.

0 Lift the grind adjustment collar

away from the motor base.

0 Clean the bottom burr using the

burr-cleaning brush (see Fig. 11).

0 Once both burrs are cleaned,

return the grind adjustment collar

to its position in the motor base.

With the grind adjustment collar in

hand align the graphic line on the

collar with the line on the rear of

the motor base, press down (see

Fig. 12).

0 Replace the top burr back into

position in the grind adjustment

collar. Ensure the marker on the

top burr is aligned with the marker

inside the grind adjustment collar

and push firmly into place.

0 Turn grind adjustment collar clock-

wise to the desired grind setting.

Adjusting the burrs for wear

The conical burrs are made of tool

hardened steel for extra long life.

However after prolonged use the

burrs will require adjustment to

compensate for wear. A sign of this

is when the grinds are not as fine

as they used to be, check by rub-

bing some of the grinds between

two fingers or for espresso the

extraction will also show signs that

the grind needs adjusting. Please

contact the Customer Service

Centre.

Replacing the burrs

To inquire about having the burrs

replaced contact the Customer

Service Centre.
