8. Recalibration of Grind Adjustment
The grinder has been adjusted accurately by the manufacturer.
However, if after a longer period of use the ground coffee is not fine
enough any more, you can readjust the grinder as follows:
1. Switch on the grinder and move the grind adjustment lever (Pos. 3)
to notch “1”.
2. Loosen the allen screw using the enclosed hexagon spanner and
move the lever to notch “5”. Now tighten the screw again.
3. Now carefully and slowly move the lever to the left until you hear a
slight rattling noise (the grinding discs are touching) and then turn
it back again by approx. one notch. The closer the grinding discs are
to touching, the finer the beans are ground. However, you must not
be able to hear the grinding discs rattling together.
4. Now loosen the allen screw and move the lever to notch „1“.
5. Now tighten the allen screw.
It is important to ensure that no „rattling“ noise of
the grinding disks can be heard! Their service life will
otherwise be significantly reduced!
6. Now switch off the grinder. For test purposes hold a bag underneath
the spout and grind a handful of coffee beans.
If the result is not satisfactory the grinder needs to be cleaned or the
grinding discs must be renewed.
9. Cleaning
Always pull the power supply plug out of the
outlet before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning work on the grinder!
Observe the safety instructions under 1.2!
9.1 Cleaning the Grinder Casing
Clean the casing of your grinder every now and then with food grade
mild cleaning agents. In addition, you should also clean the magnet in
the hopper from time to time by removing any foreign objects that may
have become stuck because otherwise this could result in clogging.
Do not let any foreign objects fall into the grinding
mechanism!
9.2 Cleaning the Grinding Mechanism
1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
2. Loosen both star handles / round handles until the clamps release
the top of the casing.
3. Move the grind adjustment (Pos. 3) to notch “7” (middle position)
and pull the upper part upwards at an angle towards you (in doing
so, the stop lever slides through the slot).
4. Remove the three screws of the cover and lift the grinding casing
cover off.
