TIPPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Should a bean become stuck in the grinding mechanism, you may fix this yourself as follows:
1 Switch the grinder off (switch in off position). Unplug the power cord.
2 Take off the bean hopper and remove (with the vacuum cleaner) the remaining coffee beans from the
grinding mechanism. Note the current grind setting on the number scale.
3 Loosen the upper burr by turning it counter-clockwise by approx. two full turns.
4 Reconnect the power cord and switch on the grinder. (Do not reach into the grinding mechanism.) The
grinding mechanism operates again.
5 Switch off the grinder again and disconnect the power cord to interrupt the current entry.
6 Now turn back the upper burr clockwise by approx. two full turns.
7 Reconnect the power cord, switch on the grinder and replace the bean hopper. The grinder is ready for
use again.
In case the coffee shaft of your grinder is plugged due to too fine a grind (depending on temperature,
humidity, fat and oil content of the respective coffee), please take the following steps to resolve the
problem:
1 Switch the grinder off, switch in „off" position. Unplug the power cord.
2 Close the lock slide of the bean hopper, so that no further beans can drop into the grinding area of the
grinder.
3 Take off the coffee spout of the grinder and remove the grounds which have plugged the grid.
4 Note the current grind setting on the number scale. Turn the grind adjustment ring counterclockwise, so
the beans remaining in the grinding section can pass through without resistance.
5 Plug the power chord of the grinder back in and turn on the grinder.
6 Start the grinding process as usual by pressing the contact spring. The remaining coffee grounds should
now come out of the chute easily. Unplug the power cord. Manually clean the entire chute with a suitable
tool again. Activate the grind switch until no further grounds come out. If necessary, manually clean the
spout again. Reassemble the spout.
7 Open the slide bar of the bean hopper.
8 Re-calibrate the grind setting with the grinding time as required during the next few grinds. A coarser
grind can be compensated by using more ground coffee or by tamping harder.
