Tips

n

The following table highlights the general grind settings required for basic types of 
coffee. As there are 6 settings per grind type, you will have to experiment with different 
grind settings to determine the right consistency to suit your taste.

n

When choosing fine settings, you may need to set the cup selector at a higher number 
of cups to get the desired amount of coffee, as fine grinds are very compact. 

n

When choosing coarse settings, you may need to set the cup selector at a lower 
number of cups to get the desired amount of coffee, as coarse grinds are very loose.

n

You may also vary the strength of the coffee by increasing or decreasing the quantity 
of cups, i.e. select a greater quantity than actually required for a stronger flavour and 
vice versa.

Cleaning

 Maintenance

n

Always ensure the plug has been removed from the mains before cleaning.

n

The bean hopper and grind chamber are dishwasher safe, and we recommend washing 
them on the top rack of the dishwasher. Due to high water temperature, washing these 
parts on the bottom rack may cause damage over time.

n

Never immerse the housing base in water or other liquid.

n

Do not use abrasive cleaners on the housing base. To clean, simply wipe with a damp 
cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleaning agent to the cloth, not directly to the 
housing base.

n

Use the cleaning brush provided to clean the grind release area.

n

Use the cord wrap on the underside of the housing base to store excess cord.
