Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective grinding:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure coffee beans, nuts, or spices are dry and free from foreign objects.
2. Fill Grinding Chamber: Remove the transparent lid. Add the desired amount of ingredients to the stainless steel grinding chamber. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 50 grams (approximately 12 cups of coffee beans).
3. Secure Lid: Place the transparent lid back onto the grinder and twist or press down firmly until it is securely locked. The grinder will not operate if the lid is not properly secured due to its safety locking system.
4. Plug In: Insert the power plug into a suitable 220V electrical outlet.
5. Grind: Press and hold the power button to begin grinding. The grinding process will continue as long as the button is held down.
6. Monitor Grinding: Use the transparent lid to observe the fineness of the grind. Release the power button once the desired consistency is achieved. For a coarser grind, grind for a shorter duration. For a finer grind, grind for a longer duration, in short bursts to prevent overheating.
7. Unplug and Remove: Once grinding is complete, release the power button and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Carefully remove the lid.
8. Empty Contents: Carefully pour the ground ingredients from the grinding chamber.

4. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the motor unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
