2. Inspect: Check the appliance for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your G3 Ferrari G20128 Cico Electric Coffee Grinder:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure coffee beans or spices are dry.
2. Fill Grinding Chamber: Remove the transparent lid. Add the desired amount of coffee beans or spices to the stainless steel grinding chamber. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 50 grams.
3. Secure Lid: Place the transparent lid back onto the motor base, ensuring it is properly aligned and securely locked. The grinder will not operate if the lid is not correctly positioned due to its safety device.
4. Plug In: Connect the power plug to a suitable electrical outlet.
5. Grind: Press and hold the pulse operation button. The blades will start rotating. Grind in short bursts (pulses) of a few seconds each. This allows for better control over the grind consistency and prevents overheating.
6. Check Consistency: Release the button and remove the lid to check the grind consistency. Repeat pulsing until the desired fineness is achieved.
7. Unplug and Empty: Once grinding is complete, unplug the appliance from the power outlet. Carefully remove the lid and pour out the ground coffee or spices.

Grinding Tips: For a coarse grind, pulse for 5-10 seconds. For a medium grind, pulse for 10-15 seconds. For a fine grind, pulse for 15-20 seconds, checking frequently. Avoid continuous operation for more than 30 seconds to prevent motor strain.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your coffee grinder:

1. Unplug: Always ensure the grinder is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Clean Grinding Chamber: Use a small brush (a stiff pastry brush or an old toothbrush works well) to remove any remaining coffee grounds or spice residue from the stainless steel chamber and blades.
3. Wipe Blades: Carefully wipe the blades with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Be cautious as blades are sharp.
4. Clean Lid: Wash the transparent lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reattaching.
5. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the motor base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
6. Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the motor base, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
