PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Controls after transport

After removing the packaging, make sure the
product is complete and undamaged and that all
accessories are present.
Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged.
Contact the Technical Assistance service.

Connecting the appliance

Important!

Check that the mains power
supply voltage corresponds to the value indicated
on the rating plate on the bottom of the appli­ance.

Only connect the appliance to a correctly installed
socket with a minimum capacity of 10A and that
is supplied with an efficient earth connection.
If the power socket does not match the plug on
the appliance, have the socket replaced with a
suitable type by a qualified professional.

USING THE APPLIANCE

• Place the appliance on a flat surface.

• Turn the container lid in an anti-clockwise di-

rection and lift it (fig. 1).

• Pour the desired amount of coffee beans into

the container (fig. 2).

• Tighten the lid by turning it fully home in a

clockwise direction (fig. 3). A safety device
prevents switch-on if the lid is not well in­serted.
Do not attempt operation without the cover
being in place.

• Extract the necessary amount of wire and in-

troduce the plug into the socket (fig. 4).

• In the models provided, turn the selection

knob (E) onto the amount of coffee that cor-

responds to the number of cups for which
the beans must be ground (fig. 5). However,
use this only as a reference, as the amount
will vary according to taste, the type of roast­ing of the coffee beans, as well as the se­lected grinding level: in any case, never fill
above the MAX level embossed on the coffee
container.

• Press the lid to activate the coffee grinder
(fig. 6) and hold it down until the desired
level of grinding is obtained.

• In the models with grind setting indicator
lights (F) (coarse, medium, fine), press the
lid and release it when the indicator light rel­ative to the desired grind setting switches on.
Remember that once the lid is released, even
for an instant, the appliance resets and con­siders the start of grinding as if containing
whole beans.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
USE

• Always keep the lid of the bean container
closed hermetically in order to preserve the
flavour and the aroma of the coffee beans.

• Only grind the amount of coffee necessary at
the time.

• Never overfill the bean container.
As per general indications, consider one ta­blespoon of beans per cup (e.g. 4 spoons of
coffee beans for 4 cups). Naturally, optimal
amounts, defined on the basis of personal
taste, will be identified with time.

• For the models with grind setting indicator
lights, consider that:
COARSE” grinding is ideal for percolators;
“MEDIUM” grinding is ideal for drip and
moka pots;
“FINE” grinding is ideal for espresso coffee
machines.

• A minute must pass before successive use in
order to prevent the appliance overheating.

• Always clean the appliance after use to guar­antee good quality in terms of coffee fresh­ness, especially when grinding coffee after
having ground other foodstuffs (e.g. sugar).
Do not grind oil seeds (e.g. peanuts) or hard
products (e.g. rice).
