Cleaning the Coffee Grinder
Regular cleaning and preventive maintenance is essential in keeping your coffee grinder looking and working like new.
CAUTION – Unplug the grinder from the electrical power source.
Do not use cleansers, bleach liquids, powders or any other substance containing chlorine. These products pro-
mote corrosion and will pit the stainless steel. USE OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
1. Brush coffee grounds from the dispensing spout. Wipe off the surrounding area, removing coffee grounds that have
fallen.
2. Mix dish washing liquid in warm water to make a mild cleaning solution.
3. Care should be taken to avoid spilling liquid into the grind housing.
4. Wipe exterior surfaces with a cloth moistened with cleaning solution. Clean off coffee grounds, drips or spills.
5. Wipe exterior surfaces with a water soaked cloth to rinse off all traces of the cleaning solution.
6. Dry exterior surfaces with a clean soft cloth.
7. Polish exterior surfaces with stainless steel polish.
8. Return power to the grinder.
A tablet style grinder cleaner may be used to clean the inside of the grind housing, the burrs and chute. The product will
eliminate taste and odor left in the grinder from grinding flavored coffee. The regular use of grind cleaner reduces the
need to disassemble the grinder to clean it.
1. Empty coffee beans from the hopper. Plug power cord into the electrical outlet.
2. Place a container under the grind spout and run the grinder to empty the housing of all coffee.
3. Pour in or two capfuls of grinder cleaner granules or tablets into the hopper (use manufacturer’s recommendations).
4. Press a grind button, running the grinder until the cleaner empties from the spout.
5. Refill the grinder with whole bean coffee and run two grind cycles to purge the grind housing of any residual cleaner.
