DO NOT try to apply the scale without using the following method.
Wipe the surface of (what we call) the middle plate around the entrance of the top
funnel where the scale will go. Be careful since the surface texturing of the plate is a bit
sensitive to rough treatment. This is just to eliminate any particles in the area. It is not
necessary to clean with acetone or even alcohol.
Next apply either Windex (or similar) or detergent water (pretty thick with detergent) to
the same area. This solution should be able to stay in place with no gaps in the entire
area of the scale, and not evaporate in the couple minutes of getting the scale in place.
Don’t worry about using too much. Carefully remove the scale from the backing and
place around the funnel.
The liquid will allow you to slide the scale around to the proper position. Once in place,
take a paper towel or tissue and wipe the excess liquid from the top of the scale and
surrounding area. Make certain that the scale is laying flat on the metal surface without
wrinkles or bubbles. Kind of rub it lightly onto the surface. Allow to dry for a few hours.
We suggest turning the funnel to where the burrs touch and placing an index marker
above the 1 on the scale. This allows considerable range of grind fineness.
Be careful of wiping off the markings of the scale when cleaning the grinder. Detergent
and water, or alcohol, are probably the strongest cleaning agents that could be used.
Lid.
There are two ways to use the top
funnel lid. Either with or without
using what we call the closer.
Under many circumstances you
can lift the lid - with the closer in
place - pour in your dose, lower the
lid and start the grinder.
