QUICK START GUIDE
Vario+
Thank you for choosing the
Baratza Vario+ for your home grinding needs!
This is just a quick start guide. If you would like more detailed instructions, please skip ahead to the full manual, found online at baratza.com/documentation/
SETUP:
1.
Remove everything from the packaging and hand wash the lid (1) , hopper (2) and grounds bin (13) with warm soapy water. Let air dry.
2.
Position the shut-off knob (3) near the rear left of the grinder, apply downward force, and feel for the hopper to insert into place. Once inserted, firmly rotate the hopper clockwise to center the shut-off knob and lock the hopper into place.
3.
If using the grounds bin, remove the PortaHolder (10) by pulling firmly out, then insert the grounds bin.
If using the PortaHolder and you find it needs adjustment to fit your portafilter: remove the PortaHolder, loosen screws on the back, adjust the arms’ position, then tighten screws gently.
4.
Plug in the grinder.
5.
Reference the Grind Settings Chart below and set the grind size.
6.
When adjusting finer, the grinder must be running or completely empty of beans to prevent the adjustment system from binding on beans that are between the burrs.
7.
Add beans to the hopper.
8.
Select grind time preset (9) or manual mode (8) then press start (7) to grind.
9.
Presets 1, 2 and 3 set the grinder to run for a designated time and can be adjusted with the up/down arrows (4) and saved to a preset by pressing and holding that preset button. Manual (M) mode runs the grinder until the Stop button is pressed or 90 seconds max.
