VARIO W+ OPERATIONS MANUAL
CLEANING THE
GRINDER
Routinely cleaning the grinder is important to ensure that the grinder
performs as intended. With standard home use, the grinder should be
cleaned at least once per month. If darkly roasted coffee, oily coffee,
or flavored coffee (which has added oils) is being used, more frequent
cleaning may be necessary.
Caution: Do not put the bean hopper, hopper lid, or grounds bin in the dishwasher.
Hand wash only. Do not immerse the grinder housing in water. Do NOT wash the
burrs with water.
REMOVING THE HOPPER:
1. Ensure the bean shut-off knob
(3)
on the hopper
(2)
is in the closed position. The side of the tab
on the bean shut-off knob that says ‘CLOSED’ should be facing up.
2. Grip the hopper and rotate it counterclockwise to unlock it.
3. Lift the hopper up and off the grinder.
CLEANING THE HOPPER AND GROUNDS BIN:
1. Empty the hopper and the grounds bin
(10)
if there is coffee in either.
2. Wash the hopper and grounds bin with warm soapy water with a soft sponge or cloth. If
necessary, rinse. The parts can be dried with a clean dry cloth or set aside to air dry.
