Step-by-step guides

What the manual does not say

3 jobs with nothing stated
  • Bearing / thread lubrication
  • Seal / gasket replacement
  • Cleaning tablets
Notes from the research
  • No numeric interval for any task and no burr life.
  • No cleaning-tablet, lubrication or seal guidance.
  • Same physical grinder as the KG521.M row; this row cites the US (120 V) instructions, KG521.M cites the international ones. They agree.
  • The manual is served from library.delonghigroup.com (De'Longhi Group asset library); the source carries linked_from pointing at the delonghi.com support page that links it.
