Operating Instructions

Adjusting Grind Size

The G1 Plus features an internal grind adjustment mechanism.

3. Refer to the table below for recommended starting points. Each click represents a step in grind size.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your grinder.

Daily Cleaning

• After each use, tap the grinder gently to dislodge any remaining coffee grounds.
• Use the provided cleaning brush to sweep out any fine particles from the burrs and powder container.

Deep Cleaning (Monthly or as needed)

1. Disassemble: Remove the handle, top lid, and unscrew the powder container.
2. Brush Burrs: Use the cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the inner and outer burrs. You may need to adjust the grind setting to its coarsest to better access the burrs.
3. Clean Body: Wipe the aluminum alloy body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
4. Clean Wood Parts: Wipe the walnut wood handle and powder container with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
5. Reassemble: Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling the grinder.

Warning: Do not wash the grinder body or burr assembly with water. Water can cause rust and damage the internal mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Grinder feels difficult to turn.

Solution: Check if the grind setting is too fine for the type of beans. Try adjusting to a coarser setting. Ensure no foreign objects are in the burrs.

Problem: Inconsistent grind size.

Solution: Ensure the grind adjustment dial is securely set and has not shifted. Perform a deep clean to remove any accumulated coffee oils or particles that might be affecting burr alignment.

Problem: Grinder is not grinding beans.

Solution: Check if the hopper is empty. Ensure the burrs are not clogged. If the burrs are completely seized, contact customer support.
