4.5 Adjustment of the cleaning alarm
The software of the KED 640 has an integrated cleaning alarm which is activat-
ed at a preset amount of shots taken. This alarm should remind you of cleaning
the grinder regularly in order to increase the discs‘ lifetime.
DITTING recommends: The cleaning limit should be set
to the amount of shots that are ground per week. (For
the set-up of the limit and for resetting the counter after
cleaning see chapter 5.5.9)
5. Operation
Once the grinder is set up and ready to operate a grinding test should be car-
ried out.
5.1 Instructions for the first grinding steps
Only use the KED 640 espresso grinder for whole roasted
coffee beans.
Observe the safety instructions under 1.2!
Never exceed the maximum permissible continuous
operating cycle of 4 sec ON, 6 sec OFF (S3 40%). Also do
not exceed the maximum allowable continuous grinding
time of 20 min. Afterwards, allow the grinder to cool
down before the next operation.
5.2 Operating the grinder
5.2.1 Switch on the grinder at the back of the casing (pos. 16).
5.2.2 Open the hopper and pour whole roasted espresso beans into the hopper
Never pour in coffee powder which would result into
immediate blocking of the discs.
5.2.3 Adjust the grinding fineness by pulling the grind adjustment interlock
(pos. 4) and turning the ring (pos. 3) including the hopper to the desired posi-
tion. Note that „0“ is the finest setting and „10“ is the coarsest. Let go and
re-lock the brake to fix the setting.
Test runs have proved grind adjustments 1 – 4 to be the
most common settings for espresso depending on the or-
igin, roast and blend. This should be taken into account
when adjusting the grinder for the first time.
5.2.4 For the first test run the grinding time settings are pre-programmed for
single shots to 2.0 sec and for double shots 4.0 sec. For changing these set-
tings please see chapter 5.3.
