5. To program the other buttons repeat steps 1-4.
If the grinder is unplugged it will retain the stored settings

Sleep Mode

To minimize standby power consumption, the Forté will go into "sleep mode"
automatically after 3 minutes of non-use. While in sleep mode, the screen goes
blank. To "wake up" your Forté, press any button. Once the screen lights up,
select your grinding method.

PortaHolder Set-Up and Use

Place the PortaHolder on a flat surface and check to see if your portafilter fits
onto the two steel bars and sits level. The steel support bars can be adjusted
vertically by loosening the two Phillips screws on the back of the PortaHolder.
Once you have the correct vertical position for the bars, tighten the screws.
Insert the PortaHolder into the grinder and press until fully seated. Make sure
not to put any pressure on the load cell. Then insert the portafilter into the
PortaHolder by lifting the handle up so the front lip of the portafilter slides
under and gets hooked by the nub on the underside of the funnel. To use, insert
your portafilter in the PortaHolder, press TIME and the desired preset dose
button, then press START. The grinder will run for the preset dose time and
stop automatically.

Burr Calibration

All directional indications assume you are looking down on the machine.
A 2mm Allen head calibration screw is located in the round hole behind the
discharge chute (see photo). This calibration screw allows the user to easily
fine-tune the calibration of the burr in the finer or coarser direction while the
grinder is running. To make the adjustment, empty all beans from the grinder.
