OPERATION
BEFORE USING YOUR GRINDER
Prior to using your Sette grinder for the first time, you should wash the bean hopper and grounds bin in warm soapy water.
Do
not wash the grind adjustment assembly or burr
. See the section on Care and Cleaning for instruction on how to remove and
reinstall these parts. There may be some rust on the burrs when you receive your grinder. This is normal and will disappear
after a small amount of coffee has been ground. To remove the rust and season the burrs, grind one handful of coffee beans,
on a coarse setting (#20), and discard.
INITIAL SETUP
Place the Sette on a level surface and plug the power cord into the back port on the machine. Plug the cord into a correct
voltage AC outlet only.
DUTY CYCLE
The Sette was designed for a maximum of 2 lbs (1 kg) per day, with an espresso duty cycle of 10%. We want to remind
everyone buying the Sette grinder that it was designed for home use (short duration grinding).
Here is a general overview of the duty cycle of the Sette Series:
Espresso (Settings 3-9) it will take about 6 seconds to grind a dose of espresso, then the grinder should rest for 60 seconds.
This is about what you could do if making back-to-back shots on a one-group machine.
Brew (Setting 15-30) it will take 5 to 30 seconds to grind up to 150 grams of coffee, then the grinder should rest for 60
seconds. Remember, a maximum of 150 grams at one time, with a 1 minute off before grinding again.
The duty cycles described above will work great for home brewing. If you choose to use it in a commercial situation, please
think about the Sette’s duty cycle function and decide if this will be a successful choice for your bar setup.
