or downwards to the required grind
adjustment (coarse setting).
Push the left lever (micro-setting, Pos. 9) to
the middle of the scale (fine setting).
Grind a small amount of coffee by pressing
the START button (Pos. 10), and then press
the button again to stop the grinder. Check
the fineness of the ground coffee. If the
fineness is approximately to your liking, use
the micro-lever for the fine fine adjustment
of the grinding level. If the fineness needs
to be changed significantly, prior to the
next operation move the macro-lever to
a new position and then make the fine
setting using the micro-lever.

6.2 Guidelines for the grind adjustment

The actual fineness achieved with any
particular setting depends on several
factors: the degree of roasting (light or
dark), the roasting date, the moisture
content, type of bean, oil content etc. You
will soon find the setting most suitable
for your taste, brewing method and your
favourite coffee beans.
CAUTION

discs. The grind adjustment in the
