5.  To program the other buttons repeat steps 1-4.

If the grinder is unplugged it will retain the stored settings

Sleep Mode

To minimize standby power consumption, the Forté will go into “sleep mode” 
automatically after 3 minutes of non-use.  While in sleep mode, the screen goes 
blank.  To “wake up” your Forté, press any button.  Once the screen lights up, 
select your grinding method.

PortaHolder Set-Up and Use

Place the PortaHolder on a flat surface and check to see if your portafilter fits 

onto the two steel bars and sits level.  The steel support bars can be adjusted 
vertically by loosening the two Phillips screws on the back of the PortaHolder.  
Once you have the correct vertical position for the bars, tighten the screws.  
Insert the PortaHolder into the grinder and press until fully seated. Make sure 

not to put any pressure on the load cell.  Then insert the portafilter into the 
PortaHolder by lifting the handle up so the front lip of the portafilter slides 

under and gets hooked by the nub on the underside of the funnel.  To use, insert 

your  portafilter  in  the  PortaHolder,  press  TIME  and  the  desired  preset  dose 

button, then press START.  The grinder will run for the preset dose time and 
stop automatically.

Burr Calibration

All directional indications assume you are looking down on the machine.

A 2mm Allen head calibration screw is located in the round hole behind the 
discharge chute (see photo). This calibration screw allows the user to easily 

fine-tune the calibration of the burr in the finer or coarser direction while the 

grinder is running. To make the adjustment, empty all beans from the grinder.
