You may notice some rust on the burrs. This is normal and will disappear
after a small amount of coffee has been ground. To remove the rust and
season the burrs, grind 1/4 pound of coffee and discard.
See the bottom of the grinder to determine the proper voltage for the
grinder. Place the Virtuoso on a level surface and plug into a correct volt-
age, AC outlet only. Remove the lid from the hopper by lifting off. Pour
the desired quantity of roasted whole coffee beans into the hopper up to
a maximum of 8 oz. Replace the
lid. Ensure the ground coffee bin
is fully inserted.

Setting the Grind Control

Slowly rotate the bean hopper
clockwise or counter clockwise
to align the indicator on the bean
hopper with the desired number
setting on the grind scale. Select the correct grind for the brew process
you are using. 40 grind settings are available. The settings shown in
the table below can be used as a general guideline. The actual grind
size for a particular setting will vary depending on many factors, includ-
ing: degree of roast (light vs. dark), freshness, humidity, type of bean, oil
content, etc. With use, you will determine the setting that is right for your
taste, brewing style and your favorite beans.
16 to 32
34 to 40
Note: Partially ground coffee beans may remain between the burrs after
the grinder is turned off, adjusting the grind may be easier when the
grinder is running. Avoid running the grinder at very fine settings without
beans as it can damage the burrs.
