Before using your coffee grinder
Before using your VARIO coffee
CAUTION
grinder for the first time, you should
wash the hopper and the ground
coffee container in warm, soapy
water.

4.1 Place of use

Place the VARIO coffee grinder on a level,
stable, non-slip surface.

4.2 Fitting the hopper

To fit the hopper (2), align the two small
tabs on the hopper base with the slots on
top of the housing and insert the hopper
into the coffee grinder. Ensure correct
alignment (narrow and wide slot). Turn the
hopper clockwise until it clicks into place.

4.3 Electrical connection

Connect the grinder to a properly installed
safety socket.

4.4 Filling the hopper

Remove the lid (Pos. 1) by lifting it off the
hopper (Pos. 2). Pour the required quantity
of roasted whole coffee beans into the
hopper (max. 250 grams). Replace the lid.
5. GROUND COFFEE CONTAINER
AND PORTAFILTER HOLDER
With the VARIO, you can grind the beans
either into a ground coffee container or
direct into a portafi lter of an espresso
machine.
5.1 Inserting the ground coffee container (Pos.
5)
Hold the ground coffee container by the
handle at the top (Pos. 4) and insert it
into the grinder below the display. When
correctly inserted, the container engages
noticeably on the baseplate below.

5.2 Setting and insertion of the portafi lter
holder (Pos. 6)
The portafilter holder can be set so that the
portafilter of your espresso machine is held
in it automatically, and does not need to be
held in position during grinding. Since the
portafilter of different manufacturers have
sometimes very different dimensions, the
portafilter holder may need to be reset.
a) Setting
Remove the portafi lter holder. Place the
portafi lter of your espresso machine in
the portafi lter holder. To do this, place the
portafi lter on the support (Pos. 6b), raise
the handle and push it under the retaining
catch (Pos. 6a). The portafi lter should now
sit fi rmly and horizontally in the holder.
If your portafi lter does not sit horizontally
in the holder, you can reset the portafi lter
support. Loosen the screw (Pos. 6c) at the
lower front of the support using a cross-
head or fl at-head screwdriver, and move
the support to the required height, so that
the portafi lter is held horizontally between
the support and the catch. Then tighten
the screw again
b) Insertion
Grasp the portafi lter holder by the handle
at the front (Pos. 6d) and insert it into
the grinder below the display. On correct
seating, the portafi lter holder engages
noticeably on the baseplate below.

6. GRIND ADJUSTMENT

Two setting levers are provided to set the
fi neness of the grind (Pos. 8+9).
The full extent
corresponds to one graduation on the
macro-scale. For both switches, moving the
switch UPWARDS produces a fi ner grind
and moving it DOWNWARDS produces
coarser grinding.
