4. Clean the grinder seats and the thread of the upper grinder support accurately.
5. Screw the upper grinder support down to where the upper grinder grazes the lower one; this operation
should be carried out with the coffee grinder-dispenser in rotation in order to determine the exact point
at which the two grinders come into contact with each other.
6. Adjust the coffee grinding as described in the previous paragraph.
4.6 Adjusting the quantity of ground coffee
Instructions for properly adjusting the quantity (grams) of ground coffee:
• The batch of ground coffee is controlled by means of the adjusting knob
11
located inside the dispenser
9
.
• To decrease the amount, remove the lid from the dispenser and turn the knob clockwise; to increase the
amount, turn the knob counterclockwise.
• We suggest dispensing ten batches of ground coffee and weighing them with an electronic balance. The
average batch should be about 7 grams (suggested quantity).
5. Operating instructions
5.1 Using the grinder-dispenser
Instructions for a proper use of the appliance:
• Fill the hopper 3 with coffee beans and open the gate 5.
• Timer model: start the coffee grinding by turning the manual timer clockwise; grinding stops when the set
time has elapsed. Turn the timer back to "zero" if you wish to stop grinding before the set time.
• Manual model: with the automatic timer: start the grinder-dispenser by pressing the main switch 2; the
green LED lights up in the push button (showing that the unit is connected). The electronic control unit
stops grinding at the end of the set time; grinding can be stopped at any time by turning the main switch
2 to position "zero". Motor restart based on the number of ground coffee servings is programmable and
may take place after 6, 12, 18, or 24 servings.
• Manual model: same characteristics as the automatic version, except for the “overflow” grinding shut-
down function and motor restart based on the number of ground coffee servings.
• The ground coffee is dispensed from the dispenser 9 by operating the lever 13.
• Place the filter cup on the support fork 14 and pull the lever (toward the operator) to dispense a batch of
ground coffee. Every complete movement of the lever corresponds to one batch.
• Press the ground coffee using the press 12; insert the filter cup in the machine serving unit and start the
coffee serving.
5.2 Practical suggestions for the operator
• Keep the coffee beans in sealed containers in a dry environment at room temperature.
• Never leave large quantities of ground coffee inside the dispenser for long periods (for example: during
the off day).
• Check from time to time the fineness of the ground coffee and the quantities dispensed, bearing in mind
that weather conditions (ambient humidity) have a considerable effect on the preparation of espresso cof-
fee. Increase the coarseness of the ground coffee when ambient humidity increases and decrease it when
the humidity decreases.
