Q2. There is no coffee coming out of the grinder. It seems as though the coffee is completely clogged inside the grinder. What do I do?

A. Please follow the steps outlined in chapter 10f, page 17.

Q3. Can the grinder run without beans in the bean container?

A.Yes.

Q4. Why do some buttons work with delay?

A. If you touch or push the wrong button accidentally, it will not immediately change the settings. You have to hold down each button for one second to activate/change the function (except for turning the coffee maker off).

Q5. Can I have different grinding settings for the current and the programmed mode?
