4. Safety Devices

Thermal overload circuit breaker

The motor of the grinder is protected by an overload circuit breaker, which interrupts the electric circuit of the motor when the device is subjected to electric overloading. To be able to restart the grinder, the reset button on the side of the casing must be pressed.

Finger protector / Magnet holder

A combined fi nger protector / magnet holder is fi tted in the hopper of the grinder. It is supposed to prevent the user from reaching into the running grinding mechanism. At the same time, it also prevents ferrous foreign objects from getting into the grinding mechanism. Every now and then you should clean the magnet since adhering foreign objects could be hanging from the magnet.

The user has no infl uence whatsoever on this operation. In case of repeated tripping of the circuit breaker, an expert must be consulted since this could cause damage to the motor winding.

Never remove the fi nger protection!

Motor protector (winding shield)

The grinder is protected against thermal overloading by a motor protector (thermostat, inserted in the winding). Whenever the winding of the motor heats up to an impermissible level, the motor protector interrupts the electric circuit of the motor.

Following a cool-off phase (approx. 1 hr.), the motor protector is switched on again automatically and the grinder can be re-started.

5. Setting-up and Basic Adjustment

A grinding test run is carried out on each grinder in the manufacturer‘s factory. This is why you may fi nd ground material residue in the grinding mechanism!

5.1 Setting-up Area

Place the grinder on a level surface free from vibration.

Never operate the grinder in moist, or even worse, in wet surroundings.

7

L A D E N M Ü H L E N | S H O P G R I N D E R

5.2 Installation

You have received your grinder in operating condition. Now you only need to connect it to a power supply system. Proceed as follows:

Protect your device with a separate pre-fuse

(not included in the scope of supplies) according to the information provided in „Technical data“ under 2.

Make sure that the pre-fuse is not overloaded by other consuming devices (e.g. fan-forced heaters, deep freezers).

Determine whether the mains voltage and frequency correspond to the information on the rating plate.

Insert the plug into the available grounded outlet.

hopper. Close the hopper.

3. Press the handle of the bag holder down and push the completely opened bag, which has been smoothed along the folds, over the spout. Let go of the handle and the bag is held fi rmly in position.

4. Now you can switch on the grinder. Knock the base of the bag a number of times whilst grinding. This allows the maximum capacity of the bag to be used.

In the case of the combination grinder, by turning the combined On / Off - Selection switch you can select the grinder you wish to use.

You can only grind on the side of the grinder casing side you have selected. You cannot grind on both sides at the same time.

6. Operation

6.1 How to use the grinder

1. By moving the rotary knob, set the required grind degree (to the left for coarse grind, to the right for fi ner grind).

5. Once all material has been ground, hold the bottom of the bag gently in one hand. Use the other hand to press the handle of the bag holder and allow it to knock against the spout

2 – 3 times. This removes any ground particles which may still be attached to the inside of the spout

8. Grind Adjustment

The grinder has been precisely adjusted by the manufacturer.

However, if the ground material is no longer fi ne enough after a longer period, the grinder must then be re-adjusted according to the following procedure:

It is important that the rattling sound cannot be heard in the fi nest grinding position. Otherwise the service life of the grinding discs is reduced considerably!

1. Turn the rotary knob to position 1 ”fi ne”. Loosen the two threaded pins by approx. 1 rotation using the 3 mm hexagon spanner enclosed in delivery. The two threaded pins are positioned in the drilled holes of the rotary knob.

5. If the adjustment you have made does not come up to your expectations you can adjust the grind degree as described above.

9. Cleaning the Grinder

2. Now switch on the grinder.

Always pull the power supply plug out of the outlet before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning work on the device!

3. Using a screwdriver or coin, carefully turn the large adjustment screw with the slot to the right until you hear a rattling noise (grinding disc are touching). Turn the adjustment screw back by approx. 10 degrees and the rattling sound should stop.

Observe the safety instructions under 1.2!

4. If you grind some beans now, you should get fi ne grains (in the case of coffee). If the coffee beans have been ground too fi ne, the discs can stick together. The grinder would be blocked.

Do not let any foreign objects fall into the grinding mechanism!!
