GROUND COFFEE ADJUSTMENT AND DISPENSING:
Grinding adjustment:
Note: Never operate the machine with the two grindstones in contact. Letting the
grindstones come into contact may result in the grindings jamming in the grinder unit
and premature wear of the grindstones.
The machine is set in the factory so that the "0" marker on the nut (5) graduated plate
(12) corresponds to the finest grinding without the grindstones touching (fig. J and fig.
K).
8. Hold the adjustment nut (5) with one hand and press the indexing pointer (7)
with the other
9. Tighten the adjustment nut (5) by turning in a clockwise direction by one or two
notches for finer grinding.
10. Loosen the adjustment nut (5) by turning in an anti-clockwise direction by one or
two notches for coarser grinding.
11. Release the indexing pointer (7) to retain the grinding setting.
12. Draw off a few measures of coffee to check the grinding adjustment.
Depending on the type of coffee used and the grinding fineness required, the output
may vary from one setting to another. Too fine a grinding setting may heat the coffee
up and alter its aroma.
Estimating the size of the grind:
During the grind adjustment operation, the lid (24) may be removed and the motor will
continue to run for 3 sec, which means that the grind can be touched at the coffee
output pipe and an estimate made of the size of the coffee grinding obtained.
Adjusting the ground coffee dose measurement:
The dose measurer should be cleaned regularly to prevent the coffee which has built
up on the walls from interfering with the adjustment of the dose measurer.
The machine is set in the factory for a measured dose of 7g.
1. Start the machine up and allow the dose measurer to fill.
2. Draw off 3 to 4 doses. The machine should start again automatically.
3. Wait for the machine to stop to draw off another 5 to 6 doses.
4. Measure the mass (weight) of the following doses.
5. Tighten the thumb wheel (8) in a clockwise direction to reduce the quantity of
ground coffee per measured dose (the thumb wheel is adjusted by half-turns)
(fig. L).
6. Loosen the thumb wheel (8) in an anti-clockwise direction to increase the
quantity of ground coffee per measured dose.
7. Draw off more than 6 doses for the adjustments to be fully taken into account.
