• Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth.

5. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Grinding: Ensure the grind setting is not too fine for the beans being used. Very fine settings require more effort. Check for any obstructions in the burr assembly.
• Inconsistent Grind: Clean the burrs thoroughly to remove any accumulated coffee oils or fine particles. Ensure the adjustment dial is securely set and has not shifted during grinding.
• Handle Not Turning Smoothly: Check for any foreign objects or excessive coffee grounds obstructing the burr mechanism. Disassemble and clean if necessary.
