Cleaning the Motor Housing
and Hoppers
• Make sure the burr grinder is
switched to the “O” position and
unplugged before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the motor housing
in water.
• Never immerse the cutting burrs,
burr-shaft assembly, or face-plate
assembly in water. Keep them dry
at all times.
•Do not use abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads.
Wipe the motor housing and cord
with a clean damp cloth. Dry with
a soft cloth.
Wash the coffee bin, bean hopper,
and hopper lid in hot soapy water,
then rinse and dry. The bean hopper,
hopper lid, and coffee bin can also be
washed in the top rack of a
dishwasher.
Cleaning the Cutting Burrs
If the grinder is used frequently, the
cutting burrs need to be cleaned
every few weeks for best
performance. Cleaning enables the
burrs to achieve the finest, most
consistent grinds possible – which is
especially important when grinding
coffee for espresso.
Foreign objects – like pebbles or
twigs – sometimes find their way into
whole bean coffee. These objects may
cause the grinder to jam. If this
happens, follow the burr-cleaning
procedure to remove the foreign
material.
1. Make sure the grinder is switched
to the “O” position and
unplugged. Remove the coffee bin
and bean hopper from the grinder.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver,
turn the two faceplate screws
counter-clockwise until the
faceplate assembly is free.
(The faceplate screws have
retaining clips that prevent them
from being removed from the
faceplate assembly.)
3. Carefully slide the faceplate
assembly away from the motor
housing. A separate burr-shaft
assembly on the inside of the
motor housing will usually slide out
with the face plate assembly. Place
a hand under the burr-shaft
assembly to prevent it from falling
as the faceplate assembly is
removed. If the burr-shaft assembly
does not slide out with the face-
plate assembly, grasp the center
shaft of the burr-shaft assembly
and remove it from the housing.
