Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the grinder for any damage. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

3. Assembly:
   • Place the ground coffee container into its designated slot on the front of the grinder. Ensure it is fully seated.
   • Place the bean hopper onto the top of the grinder. Twist it gently until it locks into place.
   • Ensure the lid is securely placed on the bean hopper.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to grind your coffee beans:

1. Fill Bean Hopper: Open the lid of the bean hopper and pour in whole coffee beans. Do not fill past the 'MAX' line indicated inside the hopper. Close the lid securely.
2. Select Grind Setting: Turn the grind setting dial on the front of the unit to your desired fineness. The numbers typically correspond to:
   • Finer Settings (e.g., 2-4): Ideal for Espresso and Moka Pot.
   • Medium Settings (e.g., 5-7): Suitable for Drip Coffee Makers and Pour Over.
   • Coarser Settings (e.g., 8-10): Best for French Press and Cold Brew.

   Note: Adjust the grind setting only when the grinder is not operating to prevent damage to the burrs.

3. Select Quantity: Use the quantity selector dial (usually on the side) to choose the amount of coffee you wish to grind. This dial often corresponds to the number of cups.
4. Start Grinding: Press the power button located on the top of the unit. The grinder will start and automatically stop once the selected quantity has been ground.
5. Collect Ground Coffee: Once grinding is complete, carefully remove the ground coffee container from the unit. The freshly ground coffee is now ready for brewing.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your coffee grinder.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the grinder from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Empty Containers: Remove and empty the bean hopper and ground coffee container.
3. Clean Removable Parts: Wash the bean hopper, ground coffee container, and their lids with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling.
4. Clean Grinding Chamber: Use a small brush (often supplied with grinders, or a stiff bristle brush) to remove any residual coffee grounds from the grinding chamber and around the burrs. You may need to remove the upper burr for a more thorough cleaning (refer to specific instructions if provided with your unit for burr removal).
5. Wipe Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit in water.
6. Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the grinder in a clean, dry place.
