Need help?Do you have a question about the Bentwood VERTICAL 63 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Bentwood Vertical 63 is a coffee grinder designed for grinding roasted coffee beans, intended for indoor use. It operates on a 220-230V, 50-60Hz power supply and has a protection type of IPX1 and protection class I. The grinder features a 6.3Amp fuse and an idle speed of 1400 rpm. Its sound emission during grinding is 80 dBA. The grinding capacity ranges from 3-8 g/s, depending on the espresso bean type, selected grinding degree, and mains frequency. The maximum permitted operating cycle is 30 seconds ON / 6 minutes OFF, with a maximum daily output of 20 kg. The grinder's dimensions are 198 × 415 × 550 mm (W x D x H), and it weighs 22.0 kg (net). The bean hopper has a maximum filling quantity of 600g.
The Vertical 63 is specifically designed for grinding roasted coffee beans. It is not intended for grinding other products or objects. The grinder features a bean hopper (2) with a lid (1) for holding coffee beans, a grind adjustment mechanism (4) with a grinding degree scale (5) to select the desired fineness, and an outlet (7) for dispensing ground coffee. A slider (3) on the bean hopper allows for opening and closing the bean container. The grinder is equipped with an On/Off button (9) and a power cable outlet (10). A ventilation grid (11) is present for cooling. The user interface includes a display with a menu button (1), check arrow (2), up arrow (3), down arrow (7), and a manual button (6) for controlling grinding operations. The grinder also includes a thermal overcurrent circuit-breaker to protect against electrical overload.
The grinder is set up by placing it on a level, stable surface and ensuring it is switched off. The bean hopper is then positioned and secured with a slot screwdriver. The grinder is connected to a properly installed earthed socket with a 16 A-slow fuse. The portafilter support (if supplied) can be adjusted and fixed.
To operate, roasted coffee beans are poured into the bean hopper, ensuring the quantity is approximately 1 cm below the edge and not less than 2 cm to prevent dispensing fluctuations. The lid is replaced, and the sliding valve (3) is opened. The grinder is switched on using the On/Off switch (9) to position "I".
Grinding degree is selected by moving the grind adjustment handles (4) until the desired grind size is shown through the lens (5). It's important to reduce the grinding degree only while the grinder is in operation and to avoid grinding below grind size 100 and above 1000 to prevent damage.
The grinder allows for setting shot sizes based on grinding time. Users can save settings for single and double shots. The grinding time can also be controlled manually using the manual mode button (6). To set grinding time, the menu button (1) is pressed, "set dose" is selected, and the up (3) or down (7) arrows are used to choose single or double dose. The check arrow (2) confirms the selection, and grinding time is adjusted with the up (3) and down (7) buttons, then saved with the check button (2). Manual grinding starts when button (6) is pressed and continues until pressed again.
Other user-configurable settings include changing the language and setting the date and time via the menu button (1). The grinder also features a shot counter, accessible through the menu, which displays the number of grind cycles since the first activation.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the grinder's longevity and performance. The manufacturer recommends that maintenance be carried out by qualified, professional personnel.
