▪ Once the selected amount of coffee has been ground the grinder will automatically stop. The
grinding process can be stopped at any time by re-pressing the on/off button (4).
Important note: If the grinder is not working, the motor may be blocked by a stuck bean. If this
happens, set a higher grinding degree (see "Grinding degree" section). As soon as the motor has
started it can be immediately set back to the desired grinding degree.
▪ Ensure that the motor has stopped before you remove the collection container (8). Pull the contai-
ner out towards you to do this. To reduce the static charge, tap lightly on the collection container
(8) before removing the container lid.
Tip: To avoid aroma loss, only grind coffee for immediate use. You can store the fresh coffee beans
and any excess coffee grounds in an air-tight container.
Ensure that the bean supply is not interrupted during grinding. Ensure that there are enough coffee
beans in the bean hopper. If the coffee beans are not fed into the grinder evenly, you can tap lightly
on the outside of the bean hopper to shift the beans.
Grinding degree
You can select from 17 different grinding settings – from fine to coarse . You can use the grinding
setting control knob (6) to select the desired grinding setting, e.g. a finer setting for filter coffee
machines and a coarser setting for manual brewing or French Press coffee makers. As a rule of thumb,
the shorter the contact time with hot water, the finer the coffee should be. Both coffee taste and
strength are matters of personal preference. You should therefore experiment to find out what type of
coffee beans, coffee quantity and grinding setting are right for you. Select the grinding setting before
adding the coffee beans, as otherwise beans stuck in the grinding mechanism may prevent the motor
from working.
Important: Select a higher grinding setting if the motor becomes blocked. Once the stuck bean has
been removed, you can reset the desired grinding setting when the motor is running. During grinding,
the setting can be changed at any time when the motor is running.
