CARE & CLEANING
Routinely cleaning the grinder is important to ensure that it performs
as intended. With standard home use, the grinder should be cleaned at
least once per month. If darker roasted coffee, oily coffee, or flavored
coffee (which has had essential oils added) 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 shut-off knob
that says ‘CLOSED’ should be facing up.
2.
Grind the remaining beans in the grinder.
3.
Grip the hopper and rotate it counterclockwise to unlock it.
4.
Lift the hopper up and off the grinder.
CLEANING THE HOPPER AND GROUNDS BIN:
1.
Empty the hopper and the grounds bin
(8)
of coffee.
2.
Wash the hopper and grounds bin in 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.
CLEANING THE BURRS AND GRIND CHAMBER:
To manually clean the burrs
(5)
and the grind chamber, the upper burr carrier
(4)
will need to be removed from the
grinder.
1.
Place the included burr removal tool
(17)
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. If needed,
grip the tool with pliers for additional leverage.
3.
Once the upper burr carrier is unscrewed completely, lift it up and remove it from the grinder.
