8. REGULATION 8.1. Grinder set up Place the hopper ( ) on the grind regulator ( ) and make sure the bean trap ( ) is in the closed position. Lock the hopper ( ) in place using a flat head screw driver to gently tighten the hopper security screw making it match to the hole at the bean hopper collar ( ) (Fig. 1). Remove the hopper lid ( hopper ( ) (Fig. 2).
8.2. Grind adjustment system 8.2.1. Micrometrical system / Parallel micrometrical system Rotate the grind regulator ( ) until reaching the grind level desired. Rotating the grind regulator counterclockwise will result in a courser grind; turning the regulator clockwise will result in a finer grinder* (Fig. 3). Once you reach the desired grinding point, you can fix the grinding regulation ( using the regulation break ( ) (Fig. 4). Except K3 and K3 ELITE models.
NOTE: If the output is very slow, it could mean that the coffee is being ground too fine. If the output is very fast, it could mean that the coffee is being ground too coarse. A perfect espresso grind is found when the grind point gives an infusion of 25 ml of coffee in 25 seconds using 7 grams of ground coffee. 8.3.
9. OPERATION 9.1. Main switch The main swith ( ) has 2 positions of use, ON–OFF ON: Working OFF: Not working 9.2. Use To turn the machine on and off use the ON–OFF switch ( ).

Make sure to put new food grade lubricant on the clean threading of the housing and upper assembly. Insert the upper burr assembly into the grind chamber, and turn counter clockwise.
11.3.1. Models with flat burrs (K3, K6 and K8) Position the regulator collar ( ) leaving about 45º between the grind point lock screw ( ) and regulator limit stop (Fig. 13). In that position, tighten the regulator ( ) on the upper burr carrier and with an Allen key A3 series for the K3 (Fig. 9), or a T20 Torx screwdriver for the other models, as Fig. 10. For the models with the micrometric Parallel system, first make sure that the grind point lock screw ( ) is lined up with the locking foot.
