Scale Calibration; Care And Cleaning; Cleaning The Housing And Hopper; Removing The Bean Hopper And Upper Burr - Baratza vario-w Operation Manual

Scale Calibration

If your display is showing "EEE" or
"out" calibrate the scale. To cali-
brate your scale you need a 200
gram weight. You can make your
own weight if you have an accurate
secondary scale.
Put your VARIO-W
on the scale, add water until you
reach 200 grams (total weight
bin + water). Once you have the
weight you are ready to calibrate
the scale. Unplug your VARIO-W
and make sure that nothing is on
the scale platform. Plug the grinder
in and while it powers on/boot up
hold buttons 1 & 2. Display will
come up with a value (approx 310-
350). Press button 1 again (display
will read "cal" and set the 200 gram
weight on the platform. Display will
show "pas" and then show 200.
Remove the bin, empty and dry it,
place the bin back on scale and
TARE. Your scale should work cor-
rectly at this point. Please e-mail
us at support@baratza.com if you
continue to have problems.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Housing and
Hoppers
Remove any remaining beans
from the bean hopper. Press the
START/STOP button to run any re-
maining beans through the grinder
until all grinding is finished. Re-
move the grounds bin.
Remove the plug from the AC pow-
er outlet. Remove the hopper by
twisting it in a counterclockwise di-
rection until it stops (about ¼ inch,
or 0.4cm) and then lift the bean
hopper from the housing. Wash
the hopper, hopper lid, and ground
coffee bin in warm soapy water,
rinse and dry.
Caution
Do not put the bean hopper, hop-
per lid, or ground coffee bin in the
dishwasher. Hand wash only. Do
not immerse the grinder housing
in water.

Cleaning the Burrs

If the grinder is used daily, the
burrs should be cleaned every
few weeks. Cleaning enables the
burrs to achieve the most con-
sistent grind possible. Cleaning
also removes coffee oils which will
stale and degrade the flavor of the
ground coffee. Do not wash the
burrs.
