Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Housing and Hoppers
Switch the grinder off and remove the plug
from the power supply. Remove any remaining
beans from the bean hopper (it may be easiest
to tip the grinder over and pour the beans into
a bowl.). Remove the hopper by twisting it in a
counterclockwise direction as far as it will turn,
and then lift the bean hopper from the housing.
Wash the hopper, hopper lid, and ground coffee
bin in warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
Caution
Do not put the bean hopper, hopper lid, or
ground coffee bin in the dishwasher. Hand wash
only. Do not immerse the grinder housing in
water.
Cleaning the Burrs
If the grinder is used daily, the burrs should be
cleaned every few weeks. Cleaning enables the
burrs to achieve the most consistent grind pos-
sible. Cleaning also removes coffee oils, which
can degrade the flavor of the ground coffee. Do
not wash the burr.
Remove the Ring Burr
Pull the silicone seal off the top of the ring Burr.
Remove the ring burr by lifting it straight up out
of the grinder by the lifting tabs. If the burr does
not lift out, ensure that the grind adjustment tab
is turned fully counterclockwise.
