Portafilter (group handle)

T-wrench (provided)

Allen key (4 mm) (provided for maintenance)

1. Slightly loosen the bolts of the lower clamp using the provided T-wrench.

2. Rotate the adjustment wheel clockwise to move the lower clamp down.

3. Insert the portafilter between the upper and lower clamp.

4. Rotate the adjustment wheel counter-clockwise to move the lower clamp up against the portafilter.

5. Slightly fasten the bolts of the lower clamp with the T-wrench. (Do not fasten fully yet).

6. Remove the portafilter.

7. Fully fasten the bolts of the lower clamp with the T-wrench.

8. Insert the portafilter again and check if it slides in easily without wiggling.

9. If the portafilter slides in too easily or wiggles, repeat the adjustment from step 1.

CAUTION: Always adjust the lower clamp before use. Failure to do so results in exposure of dangerous moving parts.

NOTICE: Ensure the portafilter does not wiggle after adjusting.

CAUTION: Always place the PUQpress on a level, vibration-free surface.

CAUTION: Always handle the coffee grinder with two people with care.

1. Slide the back of the PUQpress over the edge of the table or bar where you want to set it up.

2. Plug the power cable into the PUQpress power cable port.

3. Lift the coffee grinder (with two people) and guide its power cable from the top to the bottom of the PUQpress.

4. Place the coffee grinder securely on top of the PUQpress.

5. Guide the power cables of both the PUQpress and the coffee grinder through a power cable entry/guide at the bottom/back.

CAUTION: Make sure to guide the cables through the cable guide(s) and clip(s) on the bottom. Not doing so may result in the cables getting damaged.

6. Carefully slide the entire set-up (PUQpress + grinder) back fully onto the bar or table.

Store the PUQpress indoors in a dry and secure location, out of reach of children.

Any required repairs must only be conducted by authorized specialist personnel. Contact a customer service repair facility or your dealer.

It is advised to conduct all maintenance and repairs through a customer service centre or your dealer.

Spare parts can be ordered from your customer service centre or local dealer.

To ensure quick and correct processing, provide the following information:

Serial number of your PUQpress.

Description of the part to be replaced. Use the same name as specified in the ‘Main parts’ section of the manual (refer to images 1-5 for part numbers).

Contact your local dealer. They can provide a new tamping base and potentially a new upper clamp if needed.

There are two types of upper clamps available:

Upper clamp 66 mm: for Ø53 – 55 mm filter baskets

Upper clamp 71 mm: for Ø56 – 59 mm filter baskets

If the new filter basket diameter falls within the range of your current upper clamp, only the tamper base needs changing. If it falls within the other range, both the upper clamp and tamper base need to be changed.
