THANK YOU VERY MUCH

for purchasing the VARIO coffee grinder. With the VARIO, it is now easier than ever to

prepare professional quality coffee, whether at home, in the ofﬁce or in your café.

Below you will ﬁnd detailed descriptions of the features which make the VARIO stand out

from all the other coffee grinders in its class.

PRECISION CERAMIC BURRS OF PROFESSIONAL QUALITY:

The ceramic burrs of the VARIO are made of the same material and beneﬁt from the same

durability as the high-quality professional coffee

grinders used in the trade. Ceramic burrs remain sharp for twice as long as steel burrs.

PORTION GRINDING WITH ELECTRONIC DOSING:

With portion grinding with electronically controlled dosing, only the coffee you need

for every cup is ground direct in your Espresso portaﬁlter or your container for ﬁlter and

French press. This prevents the ground coffee from losing any of its aroma.

INNOVATIVE GRIND ADJUSTMENT:

Macro- and micro-settings can be made quickly and reproducibly with the easily

understandable VARIO grind adjustment. The range and the precision of the settings is

thoroughly impressive. The VARIO has 230 different settings from espresso to French press.

LOW-NOISE DRIVE:

The VARIO has a high-torque DC motor with belt drive. The drive belt ensures smooth,

quiet operation, and also provides thermal separation of the motor from the grinder housing.

The motor can handle long working cycles without any problem.

The VARIO is also protected by a thermal overload protection switch.

Before using your grinder, please ﬁrst read the safety and operating

instructions carefully. Only then you will be able to use all the functions safely and reliably.

Keep the safety and operating instructions safe for future reference.

Give all safety and operating instructions to any subsequent user of the product.

4. INITIAL USE

Before using your coffee grinder

CAUTION Before using your VARIO coffee 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 PORTAFILTER HOLDER

With the VARIO, you can grind the beans either into a ground coffee container or

direct into a portaﬁlter 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 portaﬁlter 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 portaﬁlter holder. Place the portaﬁlter of your espresso machine in the

portaﬁlter holder. To do this, place the portaﬁlter on the support (Pos. 6b), raise the

handle and push it under the retaining catch (Pos. 6a). The portaﬁlter should now

sit ﬁrmly and horizontally in the holder. If your portaﬁlter does not sit horizontally in

the holder, you can reset the portaﬁlter support. Loosen the screw (Pos. 6c) at the

lower front of the support using a crosshead or ﬂat-head screwdriver, and move the

support to the required height, so that the portaﬁlter is held horizontally between the

support and the catch. Then tighten the screw again

b) Insertion Grasp the portaﬁlter holder by the handle at the front (Pos. 6d) and insert it

into the grinder below the display. On correct seating, the portaﬁlter holder engages

noticeably on the baseplate below.

6. GRIND ADJUSTMENT

Two setting levers are provided to set the ﬁneness of the grind (Pos. 8+9).

The full extent of the micro-scale corresponds to one graduation on the macro-scale.

For both switches, moving the switch UPWARDS produces a ﬁner grind and moving it

DOWNWARDS produces coarser grinding.

6.1 Preliminary setting

Push the macro lever (Pos. 8) upwards or downwards to the required grind

adjustment (coarse setting).

Push the left lever (micro-setting, Pos. 9) to the middle of the scale (ﬁne setting).

Grind a small amount of coffee by pressing the START button (Pos. 10), and then

press the button again to stop the grinder. Check the ﬁneness of the ground coffee.

If the ﬁneness is approximately to your liking, use the micro-lever for the ﬁne ﬁne

adjustment of the grinding level. If the ﬁneness needs to be changed signiﬁcantly,

prior to the next operation move the macro-lever to a new position and then make

the ﬁne setting using the micro-lever.

6.2 Guidelines for the grind adjustment

The actual ﬁneness achieved with any particular setting depends on several

factors: the degree of roasting (light or dark), the roasting date, the moisture

content, type of bean, oil content etc. You will soon ﬁnd the setting most suitable

for your taste, brewing method and your favourite coffee beans.

CAUTION When the coffee grinder is switched off, partially ground coffee

beans may remain between the grinding discs. The grind

adjustment in the FINE direction (upwards) should always be made

with the grinder in operation, since this may otherwise result in

damage to the adjustment mechanism.
