Blockage of the Smart Grinder Pro
Regular use of the Smart Grinder Pro™ can result in blockage. This is a common occurrence and can be easily
corrected. This blockage can be from a few different sources: a foreign item mixed in with the coffee beans (like a
stone or overly-roasted bean), grounds build up (most especially from the use of oily beans), or even water.
Regular cleaning can prevent the grounds build up and the water blockage. If the beans look shiny on the surface,
generally it means that oils have been brought to the surface and this can easily cause clumping of the grounds
within the burs of the grinder. Water being present can cause the same issue, making the grounds stick to each
other and eventually blocking parts of the grinder.

To clear this blockage, remove the bean hopper lid and unlock the hopper. This closes the chute openings
on the bottom of the grinder and prevents beans from spilling out.

Remove the hopper and set aside.

Tip the grinder over into a bowl or container to empty out any beans remaining in the hopper seat/top of
the outer bur.

Lift the outer bur handle and turn the outer bur counter-clockwise to unlock. The bur will be stiff and it
may seem like excessive force is being used but this is to make sure that it locks securely in place and will
not accidentally unlock while in use.

Lift out the outer bur and, holding the side carefully, use the cleaning brush provided to brush all grounds
from the bur and the ring surrounding it. It's important to remove all of the excess even from the outer
ring as that can fall in and cause the same type of blockage.

Set the outer bur aside and place a paper coffee filter or paper towel beneath the grinds chute.

Holding the end of the cleaning brush, slide it into the grinder, bristles down, as far in as it can safely and
easily be moved. Please note, the burs are sharp so this should be done very carefully.

Sliding the brush up and down, move it around the interior of the grinder. When resistance is felt,
continue slowly and gently moving the bristles against that area. Grounds should slowly fall from the
grinds chute.

Once the grinder is no longer releasing any grounds, set the brush aside and take a close look at the
grounds released. If they look damp at all, leave the grinder disassembled until all parts are completely
dry. If there is any question as to whether or not they are, a blow dryer can be used to push air through
the grinder and past the inner bur to assist in releasing any left over grounds as well as to dry any damp
spots.

Reassemble the grinder and commence grinding as normal.
