several steps. Depending on the type of
coffee and the preparation method used,

used
This appliance is not suitable for grinding
espresso beans.
∙ Caution: To prevent beans from getting
caught in the grind mechanism and
causing possible jamming of the motor,
always set the grind level fi rst before
putting the beans into the container. If the
beans have already been put in, the grind
level should only be changed while the
motor is running.
∙ Turn the coarse/fi ne adjustment wheel to
the desired setting.
Loading the coffee beans
∙ Remove the lid of the bean container.
∙ Load the beans inside and replace the lid.
∙ The maximum capacity of the bean
container is 150 g.
Selecting the right quantity
∙ Use the quantity selector to set the
amount of ground coffee desired. Any
amount from 1 to 10 cups can be
processed in a single cycle. However,
the quantity-per-cup information on
the selecting knob is approximate only.
Since different types of coffee as well as
miscellaneous factors such as the size of
the cups and your personal preference
may require a different setting, we
recommend that you try out whatever
suits your own personal taste.
∙ Note: If the quantity selector is set to
position '0', no function is selected.
∙ The maximum capacity of the collection
container is 100 g. Caution: Always
make sure you empty the collection
container in good time, as an over-full
container may cause a blockage inside
the appliance.
Grinding the beans

lid is properly fi tted before attaching the
container itself to the main unit.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket.
∙ Press the start button.
∙ The grinding process begins and stops
automatically once the selected amount
of ground coffee has been produced.
∙ The process can be stopped at any time
by pressing the start button again.
∙ Once grinding has fi nished, remove
the plug from the wall socket and wait
until the motor has come to a complete
standstill before removing and opening
the collection container.
∙ Note: To ensure optimum coffee fl avour,
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.
