GRINDER SETUP

1. Place the grinder on a level surface.

2. Hand wash the hopper (2), hopper lid (1) and grounds bin (13) with warm soapy water. Let air dry

or dry with a clean cloth.

3. To install the hopper: With the hopper upright and the shut-off knob (3) pointing toward the

back left of the grinder, place the hopper on top of the grinder and nd the point where it settles

into place. Push down and rotate the hopper clockwise to center the shut-off knob and lock the

hopper into place. The hopper must be locked into place to engage the microswitch so that the

grinder can operate.1

4. The grinder will come with the PortaHolder (10) installed. To use the grinder with the included

grounds bin instead, pull the PortaHolder straight out and replace it with the grounds bin.

a. The PortaHolder arms can be adjusted up or down to accommodate different sizes of

portalters. To adjust the PortaHolder arms:

i. Pull the PortaHolder out of the grinder.

ii. With a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen the two screws in the back of the PortaHolder.

iii. Move the PortaHolder arms up or down so that the portalter ts. If the arms are

dicult to move, loosen the screws further.

iv. While holding the arms in position, tighten the two screws to lock the arms into place.

5. Plug in the grinder. The display should illuminate and go through its startup process.

6. Reference the grind settings chart on page 7 and use the micro adjustment (5) and macro

adjustment (6) arms to select a grind setting.2

7. Add beans to the hopper. Ensure bean shut-off knob is turned open. ‘OPEN’ should be facing up

on the knob.

1Installing the hopper with the lid on top may make for easier installation.

2 Beans between the burrs will cause resistance when adjusting to a ner setting. Make ner adjustments either with the unit running,

or completely empty of coffee.

VARIO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL

GRINDING OPERATION

After setting up the grinder as outlined in the previous section, press a

preset button (9). The screen will show the corresponding programmed

grind time in seconds. Press START/STOP (7) to begin grinding. While

grinding, the screen will count down the seconds to 0.0. When the

screen reaches 0.0 seconds, the motor will stop, and the display will

reset again to the programmed time.

ADJUSTING THE GRIND SETTING:

The Vario+ has a micro adjustment lever knob (5) to the left of the display and a macro adjustment lever

knob (6) to the right. The Micro adjustment arm is used to make smaller changes to the grind size, while the

macro adjustment arm is used to make larger changes. Twelve micro adjustment clicks are equivalent to

one macro adjustment click. The grind setting is adjusted by moving the micro and/or macro adjustment

lever knobs up or down. Moving a lever arm up will result in a ner grind, whereas moving a lever arm down

will result in a coarser grind. When making a ner grind adjustment with coffee in the hopper, the motor

must be running.

At setting 2Q and settings ner, the burrs (15) will audibly contact each other. The grinder is calibrated for

the burrs to touch at this point, and it will not damage the burrs to grind at their contact point or ner if

there is coffee being ground. However, running the grinder without coffee while the burrs are touching for

extended periods of time will reduce the lifespan of the burrs.

CHOOSING A GRIND SETTING FOR A BREW METHOD:

The settings shown in the table below should be used as a general starting point. The actual grind size needed

for a particular brew method will vary depending on many factors, such as: degree of roast (light vs. dark),

freshness, environmental humidity, variety of bean, oil content, etc. Practice and personal preference will

ultimately determine which setting is right for the desired taste, brewing style, and the particular beans used.

VARIO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL

Some recipes use visual descriptions to describe the grind size required, such as “ground to the consistency

of kosher salt.” To visually determine the necessary grind setting, grind a small amount of coffee into the

grounds bin (13) by pressing the START/STOP button, then press it again to stop the grinding. Check the

grind size. If the grind size is close to what is desired use the micro adjustment lever to ne-tune the grind

size. If the grind size needs a large adjustment, adjust the macro adjustment lever to a new position.

TIME PRESET PROGRAMMING:

The Vario+ is equipped with three programmable buttons labeled 1, 2, and 3. Each button comes standard

with the following time presets (in seconds): 1 = 10s, 2 = 15s, 3 = 30s. The time saved under each preset can

be adjusted by doing the following:

1. Select either preset 1, 2, or 3 (9).

2. Press the up or down arrow buttons (4) to adjust the time preset. Once the desired time value is

reached, press and hold the numbered preset button for 3 seconds. The time value on the display

will blink to indicate that the new preset setting is stored.

3. To program the other presets, repeat steps 1 and 2. These grind time settings will still be saved

even if the grinder is unplugged and then plugged back in.

MANUAL MODE:

To grind continuously without using a preset, press MANUAL (8), then press START/STOP. The grinder will

run, and the display will count up until START/STOP is pressed or until the max run time of 60.0 seconds is

reached. When the grinder is stopped, the motor will stop, and the run time will be displayed for 1 second.

SLEEP MODE:

To minimize standby power consumption, the Vario+ will go into “sleep mode” automatically after 3 minutes

of non-use. While in sleep mode, the screen goes blank. To “wake up” the Vario+, press any button.

CALIBRATION

PORT

BU R R CA LIBR AT ION

The Vario+ factory calibration will accommodate a wide range of brew

methods and calibration should not need to be adjusted out of the box

for most brew methods. However, if the Vario+ is unable to grind nely

enough or coarsely enough for a particular brew method at the nest

and coarsest settings, respectively, follow the instructions below.

TO RECALIBRATE THE GRINDER TO FACTORY SETTINGS:

1. Empty all beans from the grinder.

2. Lower the micro (5) and macro (6) levers all the way to

the bottom of the range.

3. With the hopper and grounds bin (13) in place, press

MANUAL (8), then START/STOP (7) and run the grinder

long enough to expel any remaining coffee; when

remaining coffee is expelled, press STOP/STOP.

4. Remove the grounds bin and insert the calibration tool

(11) into the round hole behind the discharge chute

until the tool settles into the head of calibration screw

inside.

5. Press START/STOP to run the motor.

6. With the motor running, move the macro arm up to

setting 2 or until burr contact is heard, whichever

comes rst.3 If there was no burr contact sound when

adjusting the macro lever, move the micro arm to Q or

to the point at which the burrs make contact, whichever

comes rst.

7. If the grind setting is at 2Q and the burrs are not in

contact, use the calibration tool to turn the calibration

screw toward the ner direction (as indicated on the

tool) until a change in motor pitch is heard. This will

bring the grinder back to factory calibration.

VARIO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL

8. If the burrs make contact prior to reaching setting 2Q:

a. Insert the tool and turn the calibration screw in the opposite direction of the arrow on the

tool to loosen the calibration screw and thus coarsening the calibration.

b. Move the macro arm to 2 and the micro arm to Q. If a change in motor pitch is heard before

reaching this setting, the calibration screw may need to be loosened further.

c. With the lever arms at setting 2Q, use the calibration tool to tighten the calibration screw

until burr contact is heard.

The calibration point can be set anywhere between 1A and 3Q depending on

user preferences. It is not recommended to set the calibration point to a setting

outside these parameters.

VARIO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL

CLEANINGTHE

GRINDER

Routinely cleaning the grinder is important to ensure that the grinder

performs as intended. With standard home use, the grinder should be

cleaned at least once per month. If darkly roasted coffee, oily coffee,

or avored coffee (which has added oils) is being used, more frequent

cleaning may be necessary.

Caution: Do not put the bean hopper, hopper lid, grounds bin, or PortaHolder in the

dishwasher. Hand wash only. Do not immerse the grinder housing in water. Do NOT

wash the burrs with water.

REMOVING THE HOPPER:

1. Ensure the bean shut-off knob (3) on the hopper (2) is in the closed position. The side of the tab

on the bean shut-off knob that says ‘CLOSED’ should be facing up.

2. Grip the hopper and rotate it counterclockwise to unlock it.

3. Lift the hopper up and off the grinder.

CLEANING THE HOPPER AND GROUNDS BIN:

1. Empty the hopper and the grounds bin (13) if there is coffee in either.

2. Wash the hopper and grounds bin with warm soapy water with a soft sponge or cloth. If

necessary, rinse. The parts can be dried with a clean dry cloth or set aside to air dry.
