4. INITIAL USE

Before using your coffee grinder
CAUTION Before using your VARIO coffee
grinder for the first time, you should
wash the hopper and the ground
coffee container in warm, soapy
water.

4.1 Place of use

Place the VARIO coffee grinder on a level,
stable, non-slip surface.

4.2 Fitting the hopper

To fit the hopper (2), align the two small
tabs on the hopper base with the slots on
top of the housing and insert the hopper
into the coffee grinder. Ensure correct
alignment (narrow and wide slot). Turn the
hopper clockwise until it clicks into place.

4.3 Electrical connection

Connect the grinder to a properly installed
safety socket.

4.4 Filling the hopper

Remove the lid (Pos. 1) by lifting it off the
hopper (Pos. 2). Pour the required quantity
of roasted whole coffee beans into the
hopper (max. 250 grams). Replace the lid.
5. GROUND COFFEE CONTAINER
AND PORTAFILTER HOLDER
With the VARIO, you can grind the beans
either into a ground coffee container or
direct into a portafilter of an espresso
machine.
5.1 Inserting the ground coffee container (Pos.
5)
Hold the ground coffee container by the
handle at the top (Pos. 4) and insert it into
the grinder below the display.

5.2 Setting and insertion of the portafilter
holder (Pos. 6)
The portafilter holder can be set so that the
portafilter of your espresso machine is held
in it automatically, and does not need to be
held in position during grinding. Since the
portafilter of different manufacturers have
sometimes very different dimensions, the
portafilter holder may need to be reset.
a) Setting
Remove the portafilter holder. Place the
portafilter of your espresso machine in
the portafilter holder. To do this, place the
portafilter on the support (Pos. 6b), slightly
raise the handle and push it under the
retaining catch (Pos. 6a). The portafilter
should now sit firmly and horizontally in
the holder.
If your portafilter does not sit horizontally
or wobbles in the holder you can reset the
portafilter support. Loosen the screws in
the back (Pos. 6c) using a Philpps- or flat-
head screwdriver, and move the support to
the required height, so that the portafilter
is held horizontally between the support
and the catch. Then tighten the screws
again
b) Insertion
Grasp the portafilter holder by supportat
the front and insert it into the grinder
below the display. On correct seating, the
portafilter holder engages noticeably on
the side.

6. GRIND ADJUSTMENT

Two setting levers are provided to set the
fineness of the grind (Pos. 8+9).
The full extent
corresponds to one graduation on the
macro-scale. For both switches, moving the
switch UPWARDS produces a finer grind
and moving it DOWNWARDS produces
coarser grinding.
