Maintenance and Cleaning
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TIMEMORE Chestnut C2 MAX grinder, regular cleaning is recommended. The grinder is designed for easy disassembly to facilitate cleaning.
- Disassembly: Separate the main body from the collection container. The internal burr assembly can be carefully removed for thorough cleaning.
- Cleaning Method: Use a brush (often included with the grinder) or an air blower to remove any residual coffee grounds from the burrs and internal components.

Troubleshooting
- Inconsistent Grind: Ensure the grind adjustment dial is securely set and has not shifted during grinding. Check for any debris obstructing the burrs.
- Difficulty Grinding: If the grinder feels unusually stiff, check if the burrs are clogged with coffee oils or fine particles. Disassemble and clean thoroughly. Ensure the handle is properly attached.
