Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
- Placement: Position the grinder on a stable, dry, and level surface, away from heat sources and moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Hopper Assembly: Place the bean hopper onto the grinder body, ensuring it is securely seated. The hopper typically has a locking mechanism or a tight fit.
- Power Connection: Plug the grinder into a grounded 120 Volt AC power outlet.
Operating Instructions
- Fill Hopper: Pour roasted coffee beans into the bean hopper. Do not overfill.
- Adjust Grind Size: The Zenith 65 HS features stepless grind adjustment. Locate the grind adjustment knob (often a silver dial near the hopper base). Turn the knob clockwise for a finer grind and counter-clockwise for a coarser grind. Make small adjustments and test the grind output.
- Power On: Turn on the grinder using the power switch, usually located at the base of the unit.
- Dispense Coffee: The doser mechanism allows for dispensing ground coffee. Pull the doser lever to release a measured dose of ground coffee into your portafilter or container. Repeat as needed for the desired quantity.
- Power Off: When finished grinding, turn off the grinder using the power switch.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure optimal performance and longevity of your grinder.
- Daily Cleaning:
- Empty any remaining beans from the hopper.
