Troubleshooting

• Grinder does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Verify that the bean hopper lid and ground coffee container are correctly and securely in place. The grinder has safety interlocks that prevent operation if components are not properly assembled.
• Beans are not grinding or grinding slowly:
  • Check if the bean hopper is empty or if beans are jammed.
  • The grinding burrs might be clogged with fine coffee particles or oils. Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
• Inconsistent grind:
  • Ensure the grind setting is appropriate for the type of coffee and brewing method.
  • Clean the burrs and grinding chamber to remove any buildup that might affect consistency.
• Excessive static or mess:
  • Static can occur, especially in dry environments. A small amount of residue around the collection container is normal. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
