∙ Children must not be
permitted to play with the
appliance.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – these
materials are a potential source of
danger, e.g. of suffocation.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fitted should
be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull
the power cord, it must no longer be
used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety
of the appliance.
∙ Take care that neither the housing nor
the cable get in touch with hot surfaces
such as the hot plates of an electric
stove, or with a hot gas flame.
∙ Never operate the coffee grinder when it
is empty, i.e. without coffee beans.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang
free.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
Before using for the first time
Clean the bean container as described in
the section Cleaning and care.
Operation
Loading the coffee beans
∙ Remove the lid of the bean container.
∙ Load the beans. The maximum capacity
of the bean container is 50 g.
∙ Replace the lid and lock it by turning
clockwise.
∙ Without the lid properly fitted and locked,
the appliance cannot be switched on.
Grinding the beans
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall
socket.
∙ Keep the On/Off switch pressed until the
ground coffee has reached the desired
degree of fineness (after approx. 20-25
seconds).
∙ Do not operate the appliance for more
than 2 minutes at a time, as there is a
risk of overloading or overheating. Allow
the unit to cool down for 10 minutes
after each cycle of use. It is then ready
for use again.
∙ Once grinding has finished, remove
the plug from the wall socket and wait
until the motor has come to a complete
standstill before opening the lid.
∙ Note: To ensure optimum coffee flavour,
only the required quantity of beans
should be ground immediately before
brewing. Any excess ground coffee
should be stored in a suitable air-tight
container.
