1. The amount of whole coffee beans required is about the same as the
specified quantity of medium ground tablespoons.
2. The unit will work for about 1 minute if you have selected the 12 cups
setting.
3. The unit may be stopped during grinding by:
a. The user – you may change the timer setting to avoid overfilling the
ground coffee chamber before resuming operation
b. Opening the hopper lid during operation – check that you have enough
beans. Close the lid and adjust the timer setting to avoid overfilling the
ground coffee chamber before resuming operation.
c. An out of position ground coffee chamber – check that it is not full.
Close the lid, place it in the correct position and adjust the timer setting
to avoid overfilling the ground coffee chamber before resuming opera-
tion.
Avoid overfilling the ground coffee chamber. This can cause the unit motor
to overheat and break a thermal fuse inside the mill, possibly damaging the
unit permanently.
HELPFUL GRINDING HINTS
You may customize the above bean quantity recommendations as you famil-
iarize yourself with your new Oster
®
burr mill, but always bear in mind the
following:
1. Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic
drip coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or
the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be stronger than
desired. If this happens, use less coffee grounds or change the grind set-
ting to medium or to whichever setting is necessary to obtain the
desired result.
2. Using coarser grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automat-
ic drip coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or
the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be weaker than
desired. If this happens, use more coffee grounds to obtain the desired
result. For a regular or stronger cup of coffee, adjust the grind setting
to a medium to fine setting.
