OPERATION

Place the VARIO grinder on a level surface. With the hopper lid in place, mount the hopper on the grinder housing by lining up the two small tabs at the base of the hopper with the two slots inside the collar on the top of the grinder.

Turn the hopper clockwise until it locks into position (expect to apply force).

Insert the power plug into an AC outlet. Pour the desired quantity of roasted, whole coffee beans into the hopper. Slide the ground coffee bin into the front of the grinder.

Press one of the preset buttons, then press START.

Normal Grinding Operation

Move the Macro lever (right side) up or down, to the desired grind setting. Set the Micro adjustment lever (left side) to the middle of the scale.

Starting brew settings can be found at www.baratza.com under the Support tab.

Grind a small amount of coffee into the bin by pressing the START button, then pressing it again to stop the grinding. Check the particle size. If the particle size is close to what you desire, use the Micro lever to fine-tune the grind size. If the particle size needs a big change, then adjust the Macro lever to a new position.
