Operating Instructions
1. Add Coffee Beans
Open the bean hopper lid and pour your desired amount of whole coffee beans into the hopper. Do not fill past the 'MAX' line. Replace the lid securely.
2. Select Grind Setting
Rotate the grind setting dial, located on the side of the bean hopper, to choose your desired fineness. The grinder offers 25 precise settings, ranging from extra fine for espresso to coarse for French press. Refer to the diagram below for common brewing methods.
This diagram illustrates the 25 available grind settings, with examples for various brewing methods: French Press (Coarse), Drip Coffee Maker (Medium), Moka Pot (Medium Fine), and Espresso (Extra Fine). The image shows the grinder's top dial with numbers indicating grind fineness.
3. Select Quantity
Rotate the quantity selection dial on the front of the grinder to choose the number of cups (from 2 to 12) you wish to grind. This automatically determines the grinding duration.
4. Start Grinding
Press the illuminated Start/Stop button located in the center of the quantity dial. The grinder will begin operation and automatically stop once the selected quantity of coffee is ground.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Grinder does not start. | Not plugged in; Bean hopper or grounds container not properly seated; Power button not pressed. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Check that the bean hopper and grounds container are correctly installed and locked. Press the Start/Stop button firmly. |
| Inconsistent grind. | Burrs are dirty or clogged; Incorrect grind setting for bean type. | Clean the burrs thoroughly using the provided brush. Adjust the grind setting to a finer or coarser option as needed for your brewing method. |

Additional Tips
