needs a big change, then adjust the Macro lever to a new position, then fine tune with the Micro lever. The full range on the Micro scale is equal to one “click” or position on the Macro scale. With both levers, moving UP produces a smaller particle size and DOWN produces a larger particle size. The actual grind size for a particular setting will vary depending on many factors, including: degree of roast (light vs. dark), freshness, humidity, type of bean, oil content, etc.
Normal Grinding Operation 1. Press the up or down arrow just below the LCD display to adjust the weight. Press and hold the (up or down) arrow for 3 seconds to advance the weight more quickly. Press the desired button (1, 2, 3). The display LCD will show the corresponding programmed grind weight in grams. Press START/ STOP button to begin grinding. While grinding, the LCD will display real-time the weight of coffee in the grounds bin. When the LCD reaches the programmed weight (+/- 0.
Sleep Mode little). If not, use the special Vario tool (see photo) provided with your grinder. Insert the tool and turn in the finer direction until you begin to hear the motor slow or labor. You are done! If you do not have a tool you can substitute a 2mm Allen wrench and turn clock wise while looking up at it. To minimize standby power consumption, the VARIO-W will go into “sleep mode” automatically after 5 minutes of non-use. While in sleep mode, the LCD display goes blank.
Scale Calibration Care and Cleaning If you display is showing “EEE” or “out” calibrate the scale. You can make your own weight if you have a secondary accurate scale. Put your (Vario-W/Esatto) grounds bin on the scale, add water until you reach 200 grams (total weight bin + water). Once you have the weight you are ready to calibrate the scale. Unplug your Vario-W or Esatto and make sure that nothing is on the scale platform. Plug the grinder in and while it powers on/ boot up hold buttons 1 &2.
Remove the Bean Hopper and Upper Burr Replacing the Upper Burr Wiggle and push down firmly on the burr carrier to ensure that it seats properly. Rotate the burr carrier counter clockwise to lock in place. Remove all the beans from the Bean Hopper. Rotate the hopper counter clockwise until it stops, lift the hopper off the grinder. Rotate the metal burr carrier clockwise until it stops (see picture), then lift straight up and out of the grinder housing.
Automatic Cleaning Troubleshooting A thorough, fast, and easy cleaning can be accomplished using Grindz™ grinder cleaner. Grindz™ is a product designed to dislodge coffee particles and absorb and remove odors and coffee oil residue. Simply place the recommended amount of Grindz™ (35 g ) into the empty grinder hopper. Adjust grind setting to Coarse, press the preset button that is set for more than 35 g.
