Prior to initial use

Conical burr grinder with anti-block system

• For a start, please clean the appliance as well as all accessories and remove the sticker from the display

of the appliance. For a more detailed information, please refer to chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.

• This appliance is equipped with a high-quality conical burr grinder which allows to grind whole beans in

a particularly aroma-saving way.

• In order to protect the appliance against damage by foreign bodies (e.g. small stones) in the coffee

beans, the grinder is equipped with a slip clutch. If the grinder is blocked, the grinding cone is

automatically separated from the motor clutch, but the motor continues to run. In this case, stop the

appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the socket. Disassemble the chamber of the grinder and

remove the blockage in the grinder. Then you can use the appliance again.
