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 Rotate the grind regulator ( ) until reaching the grind level desired. Rotating the grind regulator clockwise will result in a courser grind; turning the regulator counter clockwise will result in a finer grinder* (Fig. 3). * It is recommended that the motor be running when adjusting to finer grind setting.
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. 8.2.3. Parallel micrometrical system (optional) Rotate the grind regulator ( ) until reaching the grind level desired.
8.3. Adjusting the dose of K3 TOUCH / K3 TOUCH ADVANCED On the K3 TOUCH / K3 TOUCH ADVANCED models, the grind time is pre-set at the factory to grind 7 grams of coffee in 6-7 seconds. To adjust the grind time, simply turn the timer knob ( ) found on the front of the grinder (Fig. 5 and 6). Turning clockwise will increase the grind time, and turning the knob counter-clockwise decrease the grind time. The numbers on the dial correspond with motor run time in seconds. 8.4.
9.2. Using the K3 TOUCH The main power switch on the K3 TOUCH ( I Continuous grind. 0 Off. II Time grind. ) has 3 positions, I - 0 - II (Fig. 8). Giving one gentle tap to the front activation panel ( ) will deliver one freshly ground timed dose of coffee ( ). A double tap will deliver a freshly ground dose that is double the pre-set grind time (Fig. 11). Using the portafilter support ( ), it is possible to run the timed grind cycle hands free. 9.3.
Switch on MANUAL-PUSH: The machine will grind while the front activation panel ( ) is pushed in. Switch on AUTOMATIC-TOUCH: Timed grind using the timer on the front of the grinder (see section 8.3.). Giving one gentle tap to the front activation panel ( ) will deliver one freshly ground timed dose of coffee ( ). A double tap will deliver a freshly ground dose that is double the pre-set grind time (Fig. 11). Using the portafilter support ( ), it is possible to run the timed grind cycle hands free.
