8. Grind Adjustment Calibration
The grinder has been precisely adjusted by the manufacturer.
However, if the ground material is no longer fine enough after a
longer period, the grinder must then be re-adjusted according to
the following procedure:
1. Turn the rotary knob to position 1 ”fine”. Loosen the two
threaded pins by approx. 1 rotation using the 3 mm hexagon
spanner enclosed in delivery. The two threaded pins are posi-
tioned in the drilled holes of the rotary knob.
2. Now switch on the grinder.
3. Using a screwdriver or coin, carefully turn the large adjust-
ment screw with the slot to the right until you hear a rat-
tling noise (grinding disc are touching). Turn the adjustment
screw back by approx. 10 degrees and the rattling sound
should stop.
4. If you grind some beans now, you should get fine grains (in
the case of coffee). If the coffee beans have been ground
too fine, the discs can stick together. The grinder would be
blocked.
It is important that the rattling sound cannot be
heard in the finest grinding position. Otherwise
the service life of the grinding discs is reduced
considerably!
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

outlet before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning work on the device!
