1. Using the two lift tabs, remove the plain grinder box from the outer packaging and
unpack the grinder. Open the grounds bin and remove the knob and black silicone
gasket . Line up the knob with the stem of the switch on the side of the unit. Press the
knob in place while wiggling until the knob is fully seated.
2. Hand-wash the bin, gasket and hopper in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Gently stretch the black silicone gasket around the lip on the white burr holder,
ensuring that the two gasket notches align with the two tabs on the burr holder (one of
which is red). To install the hopper, ensure the raised vertical line is positioned to the
right. Seat the hopper in and twist clockwise. Run one cup of beans through the unit at
setting 30 and discard before first use.
3. Rotate the hopper to adjust the grinder to your desired setting. Below are some
general starting points. You will need to dial in the grind to your preference from here.

To prevent beans from limiting burr movement during adjustment, always run the
grinder while adjusting the grind size.
