Depending on the type of coffee used and the grinding fineness required, the output may vary
from one setting to another. Too fine a grinding setting may heat the coffee up and alter its
aroma.
Estimating the size of the grind:
During the grind adjustment operation, the lid (24) may be removed and the motor will
continue to run for 3 sec, which means that the grind can be touched at the coffee output pipe
and an estimate made of the size of the coffee grinding obtained.
Adjusting the ground coffee dose measurement:
The dose measurer should be cleaned regularly to prevent the coffee which has built up on the
walls from interfering with the adjustment of the dose measurer.
The machine is set in the factory for a measured dose of 7g.
1. Start the machine up and allow the dose measurer to fill.
2. Draw off 3 to 4 doses. The machine should start again automatically.
3. Wait for the machine to stop to draw off another 5 to 6 doses.
4. Measure the mass (weight) of the following doses.
5. Tighten the thumb wheel (8) in a clockwise direction to reduce the quantity of ground
coffee per measured dose (the thumb wheel is adjusted by half-turns) (fig. L).
6. Loosen the thumb wheel (8) in an anti-clockwise direction to increase the quantity of
ground coffee per measured dose.
7. Draw off more than 6 doses for the adjustments to be fully taken into account.
CLEANING:
IMPORTANT:
• In all circumstances, the machine should be stopped and the machine's
power supply cable (10) unplugged.
• Do not clean with a water spray or pressure jet
Clean the dose measurer regularly with a brush.
Make sure that the walls of the coffee dispensing conduit and the 6 branches of the cross-
pieces are always clean.
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any work on the machine, it must be unplugged from the mains and the
motor start capacitor discharged.
Discharging the capacitor:
• Unscrew the 2 screws located under the machine in the middle of the base plate (fig. M
and fig. T).
• Withdraw the electrical components unit (25) from the base plate.
• Using a screwdriver with an insulated handle, touch the 2 capacitor connections (15). If
you see an electric arc, this means that the capacitor has been discharged.
