6. Troubleshooting

• Grinder does not start:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Check that the coffee bean hopper lid and ground coffee container are correctly in place. The grinder has safety interlocks that prevent operation if components are not properly assembled.
• Uneven grind:
  • Ensure the burr is clean and free of old coffee grounds or debris.
  • Verify that the burr is correctly seated and secured.
• Beans are not feeding:
  • Check for any blockages in the bean hopper or grinding chamber.
  • Ensure the beans are not excessively oily, which can cause clumping.
