- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure ingredients are dry and free from foreign objects.
- Add Ingredients: Open the lid and pour the desired amount of ingredients into the grinding chamber. Do not exceed the maximum fill line (recommended less than 50g for optimal performance).
- Secure the Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the grinder. Ensure it is properly aligned and locked into place. The grinder will not operate if the lid is not secured.
- Start Grinding: Plug the grinder into a 110V DC power outlet. Press and hold the button on the lid to start grinding.
- Control Grind Consistency: Release the button to stop grinding. For a coarser grind, grind for a shorter duration. For a finer powder, grind for longer, typically in short bursts (e.g., 10-second intervals) to prevent overheating and achieve desired fineness.
- Check Fineness: Unplug the grinder, remove the lid, and check the consistency. Repeat grinding if a finer result is desired.
- Pour Out Product: Once the desired consistency is achieved, unplug the grinder and carefully pour out the ground product.
