Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Housing and
Hoppers
Remove any remaining beans
from the bean hopper. Press the
START button to run any remain-
ing beans through the grinder until
all grinding is finished.
Make a note of each of the three
programmed grind times to be
used when re-programming grind
times after cleaning. Remove the
plug from the AC power outlet. Re-
move the hopper by twisting it in a
counterclockwise direction until it
stops and then lift the bean hopper
from the housing. Wash the hop-
per, hopper lid, and ground coffee
bin in warm soapy water, rinse and
dry.
Caution: Do not put the bean hop-
per, hopper lid, or ground coffee
bin in the dishwasher. Hand wash
only. Do not immerse the grinder
housing in water.

Cleaning the Burrs

If the grinder is used daily, the
burrs should be cleaned every
few weeks. Cleaning enables the
burrs to achieve the most con-
sistent grind possible.
also removes coffee oils which will
stale and degrade the flavor of the
ground coffee. Do not wash the
burrs.
Remove the Upper Burrs
Rotate the metal burr carrier clock-
wise until it stops then lift straight
up and out of the grinder housing.
Clean the burr using a stiff brush.
Use the bristle brush (included with
your grinder) to remove any loose
coffee residue on the fixed burr
and the lower burr mounted within
the motor housing.
