Ascaso Factory ESPRESSO COFFEE GRINDER - Manual (Page 9)

15 14
Assemble the coffee bean hopper o n
its position.
Fill it with cof fee beans in such an
amount as to be consumed on a daily
basis. Put the hopper lid on its
position.
Connect the power cord to the
mains.
Push the ON-OFF switch
to turn the
machine on. The built-in led will be on.
The grinder will then be ready for
grinding.
Both models feature a timer device that
allows the operator to adjust in advance
the grinding time (a minimum of 8
seconds and a maximum of 60 seconds)
by using re g u l a t o r . Ever y time gro u n d
c o ffee is re q u i red, the machine filter
holder must be placed under the cof fee
spout and guided by the switch
holder fork , pressing the switch
.
Tu rning the timer re g u l a t o r c l o c k w i s e
will result in an increase of grinding time,
w h e reas turning it counterc l o c k w i s e
decreases grinding time.(FIG.1)
We recommend that grinding time must
be set for a production equivalent to 7g
/ 0.25 oz of coffee: between 20 and 25
seconds. Check the adjustment, which
may vary depending on type of coffee
and grinding discs wear.
Once the dose is on the filter holder,
p ress the coffee by using a manual
tamper for brewing your espresso.
I.1D / I.2D Models operation

coffee, which will be stored at the dose
dispenser .
Push the ON-OFF switch to turn the
machine off and stop grinding cof fee.
For having the ground coffee dose
dispensed, the machine filter holder
must be placed on the suppor t fork
.
Pull the dose dispenser lever to get a
c o f fee dose (7-8 g / 0.25-0.28 oz)

I.1 / I.2 Models operation 3. Grinding point and regulation
The grinding point (coarser or finer) will
depend on the coffee blend quality used,
its roasting point, humidity (the more
humid the conditions are the coarser
the grinding point must be) and cof fee
machine conditions.
Therefore, it is necessar y to adjust the
grinding point periodically (on a daily
basis). To do that we must use the
grinding re g u l a t o r
located on the
upper right side of the machine. If we
t u rn the regulator for w a rd (clockwise)
we will obtain a finer grinding, whereas
t u rning it backwards (counterc l o c k w i s e )
will result in a coarser grinding
point.(FIG.2)
The grinding point is factor y adjusted
for a medium grinding point. It is
therefore necessar y to proceed with a
p re l i m i n a r y grinding adjustment to
achieve the best grinding quality.
It is recommended that you check the
e s p resso coffee result on the cup and its
taste, taking into consideration that an
excessively coarse regulation results in
lighter cof fees (watered) with neither
a roma
nor cream, whereas an
excessively fine regulation results in
s h o rt shots, strong and dense in excess.
