the appliance. The specifications are printed on the type label.

required power cord. Pass the power cord through one of the open-
ings to ensure the firm stand of the unit.

Control panel

The buttons on the appliance are multi-functional touch buttons. To select
the different functions, the corresponding button must either be briefly
tapped, or pressed longer.

Coffee Beans

CAUTION:
Use only roasted coffee beans for grinding.
Raw, frozen or liquid coffee beans may damage the grinder.

Adjustment of the Coarseness Setting

The coffee grinder has got 14 different coarseness setting.
Stage 1 = finely ground (strong coffee)
Stage 14 = coarsely ground (mild coffee)
How fine or coarse you grind the coffee depends on your taste. The sort
and roasting of the coffee beans also influence the taste. With a little
practice, you easily will find out which coarseness setting is the right one
for you.
RECOMMENDATION:
To reach the best flavour, use the amount of coffee beans you need for
one brewing process only.

Remaining Coffee Beans

Remove the coffee beans from the appliance if they are older than one
week. They maybe have lost their aroma and will reduce the flavour of
your coffee.
NOTE:
Store coffee beans in a sealed, air-tight container in the refrigerator to
ensure that the coffee will keep its typical flavour.
