Important instructions
The SOLIS coffee grinder is preset to the medium grinding postition.
Always keep the lid (1) of the bean container tightly shut in order to enjoy the full taste and aroma of
your coffee beans. Never grind more coffee than you actually need.
Quantity Control
The SOLIS coffee grinder is equipped with a time control (7). Use it to set the coffee grinder to the desired
grinding time and quantity. The appliance switches off automatically once the preset time has elapsed.
Please ensure not to turn the timer further than to the maximal position «10» and do not use force to turn
it further. At the position «10» you feel a stop. If the timer is turned beyond that point, it will be damaged
and would have to be replaced what would not be covered by the warranty. If you want to interrupt grinding
before the preset time has elapsed, simply turn the rotary knob back to the left until the appliance switches
off. Also here, please make sure to turn the timer only to the «0» position and not further. At «0» you feel
a stop and the timer must not be turned beyond this point. Otherwise, it will be damaged and will have to
be replaced with costs.
The numbers alongside the control knob denote the various quantities dispensed by the proportioning
system.
As a rough guide (only applicable when using coarse grinding)
Quantity control number = number of cups (Example: setting «3» = 3 cups)
The quantity of ground coffee you need to make your coffee depends on the type of bean, the degree of
grinding and your personal taste.
Warning:
After each unit (10 cups), empty the coffee container (6). This prevents the motor overheating. This appliance
is only made for short time use. Please allow the motor to cool down for at least 5 minutes after every use.
Stone safety cut-out feature
Given the huge quantities of coffee that are packed every day, very small stones may accidentally find
their way into even the finest coffee beans. The appliance is equipped with a stone safety cut-out («friction
clutch») in order to prevent damage to the grinding gear. A stone in the grinding gear will cause a loud
rattling noise. Switch the appliance off immediately, remove plug from wall outlet, open it as described
in the section entitled «Cleaning the grinding gear» and remove the stone.
Cleaning the grinding gear
Disconnect the mains plug from the socket outlet. Remove any remaining beans in the bean container (fig. 6)
and take the latter off by twisting it in an anticlockwise direction as far as the release area stop (fig. 7).
Lift the bean hopper from the housing (fig. 8). The grinding ring can then be lifted out of the machine.
A soft-bristle brush is ideal for cleaning the grinding gear. Re-assemble the machine by performing the
above operation in reverse order. Housing and transparent parts can be cleaned easily using a damp cloth.
