Steps

1. Place the motor unit on an even, stable and dry surface.
2. Ensure that there is no coffee residue on top of the grinder. If there is any residue, use the included cleaning brush to clean it.
3. Align the downward-pointing arrow on the bean box with the upward-pointing arrow on the motor unit. Then turn the bean box clockwise [Clockwise Arrow] to lock it.
4. Select the coffee powder coarseness by further turning the bean box clockwise [Clockwise Arrow], until the desired coarseness level is aligned with the upward-pointing arrow on the motor unit. The required coarseness level is dependent on the type of coffee you want to brew. 30 is the coarsest setting, 0 is the finest.

   Setting	Grind size	Used for...
   1-2	Extra fine	Turkish mocha (Cesve)
   3-5	Fine	Espresso machines
   6-10	Medium	Siphon coffee makers
   11-20	Coarse	Drip coffee makers

5. Open the lid of the bean box and fill in coffee beans. Do not overfill. Then close the bean box lid.
6. If you want to grind coffee directly into a portafilter (not included), connect the portafilter holder to the motor unit and attach your portafilter to it. Adjust the portafilter holder's height to ensure the portafilter is locked in it securely. Otherwise, just place the storage container underneath the coffee powder outlet. Open the small sealing cover in the storage container lid.
7. Connect the power plug to a suitable power outlet. The control panel lights up.
8. Select the desired operating mode:
   • Press the Storage container button [Storage Container Button] to fill the storage container. The default grinding amount is 2 cups. You can also adjust the cup amount with the + [Plus Button] and - [Minus Button] buttons in 2-cup steps:

     Cups	Grinding time
     2	6 seconds
     4	12 seconds
     6	18 seconds
     8	24 seconds
     10	30 seconds
     12	36 seconds
     14	42 seconds

   • Press the Portafilter button [Portafilter Button] for a perfect amount for the connected portafilter. The default grinding time is 10 seconds. You can also adjust the grinding time with the + [Plus Button] and - [Minus Button] buttons in 0.5 second steps (5 - 15 seconds).
   • Press the x2 button [x2 Button] if you need a longer grinding time. The default grinding time is 18 seconds. You can also adjust the grinding time with the + [Plus Button] and - [Minus Button] buttons in 0.5 second steps (14 - 28 seconds).
9. Press the Start/Stop button [Start/Stop Button] to start the operation. The time display counts down the grinding time. You can cancel the operation by pressing the Start/Stop button [Start/Stop Button]. Press the Start/Stop button [Start/Stop Button] again to restart the operation.
10. When you're finished using the appliance, disconnect it from the power supply.
11. To unlock the bean box, turn it anticlockwise until the downward-pointing arrow on the bean box is aligned with the upward-pointing arrow on the motor unit. Lift the bean box off the motor unit. The bean box should be completely empty before removing it so that no beans can fall out through the bottom opening.

After Use

Cleaning

NOTE: Clean the appliance regularly to keep it in a safe and hygienic working condition.

• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely.
• Do not clean the appliance with steel wool, strong chemicals, alkali, abrasive or disinfecting agents as they may damage its surface.
• Do not immerse the motor unit or the grinder in water or other liquids to clean them. Make sure that no water enters the motor unit while cleaning it and that the electrical parts do not become wet or damp.
• Never clean the motor unit or the grinder in the dishwasher.
• Clean the motor unit with a soft damp cloth and a little mild detergent. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
• Regularly clean the grinder to ensure food hygiene and extend the service life of the appliance. Proceed as follows:
• 1. To disassemble the upper grinder, hold its handle and turn it counter-clockwise so that the triangle symbol is aligned with the "UNLOCK" marking, then lift the upper grinder up.
• 2. Clean the upper grinder with the included cleaning brush.
• 3. Remove the remaining coffee powder in the lower grinder and grinding chamber with the cleaning brush, and then pour out the remaining powder residue in the grinding chamber. This step must not be omitted, since otherwise the upper grinder cannot be installed anymore later.
• 4. After cleaning, put the upper grinder into the grinding chamber, align the triangle symbol with "UNLOCK" and turn the handle clockwise so that the triangle symbol is aligned with "LOCK" and the upper grinder locks into place.
• Clean all parts besides the motor unit and the grinder in warm water with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Wipe with a dry and soft cloth.
• ATTENTION: Do not clean in the dishwasher. As this shortens the service life (printing on the bean box and the storage container, portafilter holder becomes discolored). This does not constitute grounds for complaint.
• The appliance may only be used again after it is dried completely.

Storage

• Before storage, always make sure that the appliance is completely dry, cooled down and clean.
• Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and out of the reach of children.
• Preferably store the appliance in its original packaging.
