Front Mounted Pulse Button

For short duration grinding, the PRECISO is equipped with a front mounted pulse button. It can be used for grinding directly into an espresso-brew- ing basket. Remove the grounds bin and position the espresso-basket inside the grinder directly below the pulse button or position the espresso basket in the Portaholder which is included (see photo). Push and hold the pulse button to grind. Grinding will stop when the button is released.

PortaHolder™ Installation

Insert the PortaHolder™ into the grinder. Then in- sert your porta filter into the PortaHolder™ by tipping the basket down so the lip of the porta filter slides under and gets hooked by the hook bracket at the top rear of the PortaHolder™ while the base of the basket is supported by the two metal fingers that extend from the PortaHolder™ If the porta filter bas- ket is not horizontal in the holder, remove the screw and move the bracket higher or lower in order to level the portafilter basket.

To use, insert your porta filter into the PortaHold-

er™. Turn the timer to the desired time. The grinder will run for the time set and stop automatically.

Note: Use caution not to overfill the porta filter. If you overfill the filter

coffee will back up and jam your grinder.
