Removing foreign matter from the grinding mechanism

Foreign matter in the grinder, e.g. small stones or wood chips, may cause damage to the grinding mechanism.

The Café Barista™ is designed with a ‘stone safety device’ which, in case of foreign matter, causes an even, loud rattling. If you should hear this noise during grinding, switch the espresso machine off immediately and remove the foreign matter as follows:

Cleaning the grinding mechanism

•Switch the espresso machine off by pressing the ‘POWER’ button and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

•Turn the ‘coffee bean hopper’ to the position marked ‘HOPPER RELEASE’ and take it off. See figure 41.

•Remove the any coffee beans in the grinding mechanism. We suggest using the cleaning brush supplied with the Café Barista™ (or, possibly a vacuum cleaner with a hose or nozzle). See figure 42. If any foreign matter cannot be removed, proceed with the next step.

•Slide the ‘grinding mechanism release’ button to the front in the direction of the grinding mechanism. Hold this position and turn the ‘coffee grind’ lever clockwise by approximately 1 revolution up to the stop. See figure 43.

•Now detach the grinding ring by lifting it out and remove any foreign matter(s). See figure 44.

Important: There is risk of injury by turning grinding gear. Never switch the espresso machine on while working with the grinding mechanism. This may cause severe injury. Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
