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
into the coffee bean container.
It is strictly forbidden to introduce any material
other than coffee beans.
The coffee grinder contains moving parts that may
be hazardous; 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 add coffee beans while the grinder is ope-
rating.
The quality and flavour 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 (3) for adjusting the grind.
To adjust the grind, turn the graduated knob while the
grinder is operating; the numbers on the knob indicate
the fineness of the grind.
Every machine is factory-regulated to a medium-sized
grind; turn the knob to higher numbers to obtain a
coarser grind, turn the knob to lower numbers to
obtain a finer grind.
The variation in the fineness of the grind will be
noted only after three or four coffees have been
dispensed.
Use blends of coffee beans specifically for espresso
machines.
Avoid using extreme grinding settings (e.g. 1 - 16);
if you do use them, also use different blends of
coffee.
Store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry
place.
You should adjust the fineness of the grind when the
coffee is not dispensed properly:
Coffee pours out too fast = excessively coarse grind
> Set the knob on lower numbers;
Coffee drips out slowly and/or not at all = excessively
fine grind > Set the knob on higher numbers.
6 DOSE ADJUSTMENT
The machine allows you to adjust the amount
of coffee (dose) to be ground according to your
requirements.
The manufacturer has set a standard dose that
satisfies most needs: notch (A) corresponding to
reference point (B).
Turn the knob (4) inside the coffee container counter-
clockwise to increase the dose of ground coffee; turn it
clockwise to reduce the dose of ground coffee.
The dose must be adjusted before pressing the button
to dispense coffee.
This system makes it possible to obtain optimal coffee
with all types of commercially available coffee.
