Use the burr calibration tool while the grinder is
running.

Turn the grinder on and lower the Macro and Micro levers, all the way to the bottom. Let the grinder run long enough to expel any remaining ground coffee. Remove the grounds bin (For Vario-W and Forte , TARE the grinder). Now press any one of the preset buttons, then press START and insert the Calibration tool into the 2mm Allen head screw (The grinder will run until you press the STOP button). With the motor running, move the Macro arm up to the top (setting 1). You should not hear any change in motor speed. Now, slowly move the Micro arm up to

the midpoint(setting M). If the motor hasn’t started to slow, use the calibration tool to turn the calibration screw toward the finer direction (as indicated on tool) until you hear the motor start to slow. This setting will allow for a full range of grind. If you want a coarser grind, insert the tool and turn the opposite direction of the arrow on the tool.

Scale Calibration

If the display is showing “EEE”, “out” or the grinder is over or under-dosing coffee, the scale needs to be calibrated. To do this you need a 200g weight. To “create” a 200g weight, place the Forté grounds bin on a separate scale and add whole coffee beans until the scale reads 200g (combined weight of bin and beans). Keep your “200g weight” handy. Now, unplug the Forté and make sure there is nothing on the scale platform. Plug the Forté back in, and while it powers on, hold buttons M and WEIGHT, until a value between 1500-3000 is
