7. GRINDING

The coffee grinder is tested by the manufacturer with
an approximate grinding adjustment. It is
recommended to re-adjust the grinding accoding to
your requirements and the kind of coffee to be used.
● With the motor off and the bean container empty,
press adjustment button (4) and turn the container
(1) in a clockwise direction until the grinders touch;
Never press grinding adjustment stop button
(4) when the machine is operating.
● Now turn the container 6/7 notches in an
anticlockwise direction and release button (4),
ensuring that it is perfectly blocked;

● Start up the motor using switch (2) and only for
SD model also press button (3) to make sure that
the grinders do not touch each other;
● Should the grinder scrape against each other,
immediately turn the machine off and turn the
container 2/3 notches in an anti-clockwise direction.
● Switch off the machine, open tank (1), pour a small
quantity of coffee beans into it and grind using
switch (2); then, for SD model, button (3).
● Prepare a coffe, checking the delivery time, which
should be between 25 and 30 seconds for the best
grinding;
● Check coffee quality and taste considering that
coarse grinding produces light coffee without cream,
whereas too fine grinding produces strong, dark
cofee without cream;
● If the coffee does not meet your requirements,
adjust the grinding by turning the container in a
clockwise direction for fine grindings and in an anti-
clockwise direction for coarse grindings (Fig.5);
● Repeat this operation until you get the quality of
coffee you wish.
The machine does not need new adjustments when
using the same kind of coffee; if you change th kind
of coffee, re-adjustments must be made to the grinding.

● After setting the desired grinding level, place the
filter holder into its seat and act on lever (7) to
dispense the ground coffee directly into the coffee
filter.
Press once for one-cup filter and twice for two-cup
filter.
It is recommended to grind the quantity of coffee that
is immedialely needed. When ground coffee is left for
too long, it looses its freshness and fragrance.
Never grind already ground coffee.
