•Pull the power plug after each use for safe switch-off.
Interesting facts
• The taste of beverages containing coffee depends on the quality of the used coffee or espresso beans.
Condition for the aromatic preparation of beverages with coffee is the perfect grinding of the roasted
beans as this increases the surface for the contact with water and thus, the release of flavours.
• A roasted coffee bean contains more than 1,000 different flavouring substances. The finer the grinding,
the more substances are released.
15
• After a few minutes already, the ground powder loses more the 50 % of its flavour. Therefore, coffee
specialists recommend storing whole coffee beans and only grinding the quantity just needed.
• This appliance has a high-quality conical burr grinder. Thus, whole coffee beans can be ground especially
flavour-conserving. The coarseness can be set exactly in several levels from fine to coarse powder.
• Different coffee beverages require different coarseness settings; but also the beans’ sort and roasting
as well as your personal taste decide on how fine the coffee powder should be ground. Take our
recommendations (see below) as basis and try yourself by means of the very flexible setting possibilities
until you have found your individual coarseness setting.
o Coarse powder is suitable for hand-filtered coffee.
o Medium powder is used with usual boiler espresso machines.
o Fine powder is suitable for drip coffee makers or for automatic pump pressure espresso machines.
o Extra-fine powder is recommended for manual mocha-making.
Prior to initial use
For a start, please clean the appliance as well as all accessories. For more detailed information please refer
to “Cleaning and maintenance”.
Operating the appliance
WARNING: During operation do not use any object to stir in
the beans tank and never touch the running grinding block!
WARNING: The appliance is designed for a max. continuous operating time of 2 minutes (2 x 10
doses). If this time has been reached, the appliance has to cool down for at least 2 minutes.
If this is not observed, the motor might be damaged!
NOTE: The appliance has a safety system. The appliance only works if the beans tank is installed
correctly and the powder container (with cover) is inserted completely and locked!
• The appliance is not qualified for poppy, nuts, sugar etc.! Non-observance invalidates warranty!
• Check regularly if the powder outlet is free from powder residues. The more oil-bearing the used beans,
the quicker can the outlet obstruct.
• Mind that the taste of coffee/espresso is rated very differently. Take the stated setting possibilities for
coarseness and powder quantity as basis and try yourself until you have found your individual taste and
the right quantity for preparation.
Inserting the powder container
• Place the cover on the powder container.
• Insert the powder container in the appliance until it latches audibly.
Filling the beans tank
• Before filling the beans tank it must be installed in the appliance.
• Remove the beans tank’s cover and fill in whole, roasted beans.
• Afterwards, attach the cover again.
16
Setting the coarseness
• The coarseness can be set in 12 levels.
• For setting the desired coarseness, hold the beans tank and turn
it to position 1 (fine) – 12 (coarse). Observe the marking on the
container.
Level 1 – 2: extra-fine powder
Level 3 – 4: fine powder
Level 5 – 8: medium powder
Level 9 – 12: coarse powder
NOTE: If the tank is already filled with beans, the coarseness should be set at running motor. If there are
no beans in the tank or grinding block, the coarseness can be set without running motor.
Setting the powder quantity
• A powder quantity of up to 10 doses can be ground at once.
• Turn the rotary knob to the left (min. 2 doses) or to the right (max.
10 doses) to the desired position.
NOTE: The actual powder quantity depends on the used kind of
beans, roasting and set coarseness.
Switching the appliance on and off
• Connect the appliance to the mains.
Cord which is not needed can be stored in the cord take-up at the
bottom of the appliance.
• Press button “ON/OFF”.
The appliance starts the time-controlled grinding process. After the
set time has been reached, the appliance switches off automatically.
• You can interrupt the grinding process any time by pressing the
“ON/OFF” button again.

Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning!
Never immerse the appliance, power cord and mains plug in
water or clean them under running water!
For ensuring a constant grinding quality, we recommend cleaning the coffee mill regularly.
• Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and wipe it dry.
• Clean the powder container and the beans tank as well as their covers in hot water with some
dishwashing detergent. Before the next use, all parts must be completely dry.
• Clean the grinding block with enclosed cleaning brush. For easy cleaning, the chamber for the conical
burr grinder can be detached (see “Dismantling and assembling the appliance”).
• Afterwards, loose particles can be removed from the grinding block by turning and patting the
appliance.
• Clean the powder outlet regularly with enclosed cleaning brush to avoid obstruction, if necessary
carefully with a pointed object.
• Do not use any abrasives or solvents!
• Never use a steam jet appliance for cleaning!
Trouble shooting
Overheating protection
The appliance has an overheating protection. If the motor is overheated due to too long operation or a
blocked grinding block, the overheating protection switches the appliance off.
• In this case, pull the mains plug!
• Let the appliance cool down for 1 hour, remove foreign objects if necessary.
• After sufficient cooling, the appliance can be operated again.
Removing foreign objects from the grinding block
It might happen that there are little foreign objects (e. g. small stones) between the beans.
This can provoke that …
… the grinding process does not start
… the motor makes loud noises
… the grinding block stops during the grinding process.
• In case of stopping or loud motor noises, interrupt the appliance immediately by pressing the “ON/OFF”
button.
• Pull the mains plug!
• Check if there is a foreign object in the grinding block and remove it by detaching the chamber for the
conical burr grinder and clean the grinding block (see “Dismantling and assembling the appliance).
