VARIO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL

CLEANING THE BURRS AND GRIND CHAMBER:

To manually clean the burrs 

(15)

 and the grind chamber, the upper burr carrier 

(14)

 will need to be removed 

from the grinder.

1.  Place the included burr removal tool 

(12)

 on the upper burr carrier so that the notches on the tool 

interlock with the wings on the upper burr carrier.

2.  Rotate the burr removal tool clockwise to unscrew the upper burr carrier from the grind chamber.

4

 

Set the burr removal tool aside.

3.  Once the upper burr carrier is unscrewed completely, lift it up to remove it from the grinder.

UPPER BURR CARRIER AND UPPER BURR CLEANING:

1.  With the upper burr carrier in one hand, use a non-metal, bristle brush such as a toothbrush to 

clean around the burr carrier and on the surface of the top burr.

2.  For a deeper clean of the upper burr carrier area, use a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the 

screws holding the burr in the burr carrier. Set the screws and burr aside and use a non-metal 
bristle brush to clean the rest of the upper burr carrier as well as the back of the burr. Once 
cleaning of the burr and carrier is complete, use the screwdriver to reinstall the screws and burr. 
Take care not to overtighten the screws during reinstallation.

GRIND CHAMBER, LOWER BURR CARRIER, 

AND LOWER BURR CLEANING:

Note: It is not recommended to remove the lower burr carrier.

1.  Use a non-metal, stiff bristle brush such as a toothbrush to clean the area around the lower burr 

and the surface of the lower burr.

2.  For a deeper clean of the lower burr carrier, use a small flat head screwdriver to remove the 

screws holding the burr in the burr carrier. Set the screws aside and lift the burr out of the burr 
carrier. Then use a brush to clean the top of the lower burr carrier, the back of the burr, and 
the opening of the coffee exit chute. Once cleaning of the burr and carrier is complete, use the 
screwdriver to reinstall the screws and burr. Take care not to overtighten the screws during 
reinstallation.

 If the upper burr carrier does not rotate clockwise with the burr removal tool alone, a set of pliers can be used to grip the tool  

for additional leverage
