BEFORE FIRST USE
Before first use, carefully unpack your CAPRESSO coffee grinder and remove
all packaging materials.
• Wipe the base, lid, and bean container with a clean, damp cloth.
• Allow to dry completely before use.
• To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the removable
parts during packaging, wash the ground coffee container (and lid)
and the lid of the bean container with a warm water and mild liquid
soap solution. Rinse and dry. Do not use harsh or abrasive agents to
clean these parts.
Caution: Do not immerse grinder or the removable grinding wheel (K)
in water.
Caution: Do not place the ground coffee container, its lid, or the bean container lid in the dishwasher.
USING THE GRINDER
Caution: Always make sure that the ground coffee container lid (G) is properly
in place. If the lid is not properly placed onto the gr
ound coffee container (F),
ground coffee can blow out of the ground coffee container (F) during grinding.
INITIAL USE - IMPORTANT
During manufacturing, the grinding wheels (K)
are installed so that they touch
initially. The grinder will not function properly while the wheels are touching
each other. To avoid grinding with the wheels touching each other proceed as
follows:
For first-time grinding: Check to make sure that the bean container (B) is
empty, clean and dry, and free of any foreign objects.
Plug in the grinder. Set the fineness selector (C)
to number "9." Fill the bean
container with 3 to 4 tablespoons of coffee beans. Set the grind amount selector (I) to approximately number "4." Make sure the ground coffee container (F)
with its lid (G) is in place. Push the on-button (J). Repeat the same procedure in
a different fineness position (e.g. number "3"). You are now ready to begin using
your grinder regularly.
