6. Reassemble: Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble the grinder by placing the top burr back into the grinding chamber and locking it by rotating clockwise. Insert the grounds container.

7. Troubleshooting

• Grinder does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Check if the bean hopper and grounds container are correctly assembled and locked into place. The grinder has a safety mechanism that prevents operation if parts are not properly aligned.
  • If the grinder was recently used for an extended period, it might be in overheat protection mode. Allow 30 minutes for it to cool down.
• Grinder stops during operation:
  • The selected grinding cycle might have completed.
  • The grinder may have entered overheat protection mode. Allow it to cool down.
  • Check if the bean hopper is empty or if beans are stuck. Gently shake the grinder or use the cleaning brush to dislodge any blockages.
• Coffee grounds are not uniform:
  • Ensure the burrs are clean and free from old coffee residue.
  • Adjust the grind size setting. Experiment with different settings to find the ideal uniformity for your brewing method.
• Excessive static cling of grounds:
  • This can be a common issue with coffee grinders. Try lightly tapping the grounds container before removing it to settle the grounds.
  • Ensure beans are at room temperature.
