hopper (Pos. 2). Pour the required quantity
of roasted whole coffee beans into the
hopper (max. 250 grams). Replace the lid.
5. GROUND COFFEE CONTAINER
With the VARIO-W you can grind the beans
directly into the ground coffee container.
5.1 Inserting the ground coffee container (Pos.
5)
Hold the ground coffee container by the
handle at the top (Pos. 4) and insert it
into the grinder below the display. When
correctly inserted, the container engages
on the weighing cell (Pos. 18) below.
6. GRIND ADJUSTMENT
Two setting levers are provided to set the
fineness of the grind (Pos. 8+9).
The full extent of the micro-scale
corresponds to one graduation on the
macro-scale. For both switches, moving the
switch UPWARDS produces a finer grind
and moving it DOWNWARDS produces
coarser grinding.
The VARIO-W is exclusively designed for
filter coffee grinding and is not capable of
producing espresso-fine grounds!
6.1 Preliminary setting
Push the macro lever (Pos. 8) upwards
or downwards to the required grind
adjustment (coarse setting).
Push the left lever (micro-setting, Pos. 9) to
the middle of the scale (fine setting).
Grind a small amount of coffee by pressing
the START button (Pos. 10), and then press
the button again to stop the grinder. Check
the fineness of the ground coffee. If the
fineness is approximately to your liking, use
the micro-lever for the fine fine adjustment
of the grinding level. If the fineness needs
to be changed significantly, prior to the
next operation move the macro-lever to
a new position and then make the fine
setting using the micro-lever.
6.2 Guidelines for the grind adjustment
The actual fineness achieved with any
particular setting depends on several
factors: the degree of roasting (light or
dark), the roasting date, the moisture
content, type of bean, oil content etc. You
will soon find the setting most suitable
for your taste, brewing method and your
favourite coffee beans.
When the coffee grinder is swit-
ched off, partially ground coffee
beans may remain between the
grinding discs. The grind adjust-
ment in the FINE direction (up-
wards) should always be made
with the grinder in operation, since
this may otherwise result in dama-
ge to the adjustment mechanism.
