been inoperative for a lengthy period
or the water container has been
completely emptied, it is advisable to
prime the machine before it has time

5 COFFEE GRINDER
Warning! The grinder
adjustment knob inside the
coffee container must be turned only
while the coffee grinder is operating. Do
not introduce ground and/or freeze-
dried coffee in the coffee bean container.
Do not introduce any material
other than coffee beans. Inside
the coffee grinder there are moving
parts that may be dangerous; do not
place your fingers and/or other objects
inside the grinder. Before performing
any kind of operation inside the coffee
container, switch off the machine and
unplug it. Do not introduce coffee
beans while the grinder is operating.
The quality and flavor of your
coffee will depend not only on the
blend you use but also on how finely
you grind it. The machine has a knob
(12) for adjusting the grind. To adjust
the grind, turn the graduated knob
while the grinder is operating; the
numbers on the knob indicate the
grind setting.
Every machine is factory-regulated to
a medium-sized grind; turn the knob
to lower numbers to obtain a finer
31
grind, turn the knob to higher numbers
to obtain a coarser grind.
The variation in the grind setting will
be noted only after three or four
coffees have been dispensed.
Use blends of coffee beans for
espresso machines. Avoid using
extreme grinding settings (e.g. 1 or 16);
in these cases use different blends of
coffee. Store coffee in an airtight
container in a cool, dry place.
You should adjust the grind setting when
the coffee is not dispensed properly:
Coffee pours out too fast = excessively
coarse grind > set knob on a finer grind;
Coffee drips out slowly and/or not at all
= excessively fine grind > set knob on
coarser grind.
