This appliance is equipped with an overheat protective device. If the
appliance overheats, it will switch off automatically. In this case leave
it to cool for 30 minutes. Then restart by pressing the ON/OFF switch.

It is best to store coffee beans in a dry, cool place. Beans should be kept in an
opaque, airtight container.
„ „

Advice to select the level of fineness for your ground coffee.
„ „
Use the fineness selector (9) to adjust the grind according to the type of coffee
maker.
„ „
Generally, the quicker the water goes through the ground coffee, the finer the ground
coffee should be.
A "medium" ground is thus suited to making filter coffee while a "very fine" ground is
needed to make an Espresso.
„ „
For the first use, we suggest that you use an intermediate position and then adjust

the ideal grind setting to suit your taste and brew method.
