Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and performance of your TIMEMORE S3 grinder.

1. Disassembly: Unscrew the collection cup and the top adjustment ring. The inner burr assembly can then be carefully removed.
2. Brush Cleaning: Use the provided brush to remove any residual coffee grounds from the burrs, shaft, and collection cup. Avoid using water on the burrs to prevent rust.
3. Reassembly: Reassemble the grinder by carefully placing the inner burr, securing the top adjustment ring, and screwing on the collection cup. Ensure all parts are aligned correctly.

Troubleshooting

• Grinder feels stiff: Ensure no large foreign objects are in the bean hopper. Check if the grind setting is too fine for the beans being used.
• Inconsistent grind: Verify that the burrs are clean and free of old coffee residue. Ensure the handle is securely attached and you are maintaining a consistent grinding motion.
• Handle not turning smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the grinding mechanism. Ensure the handle is properly aligned with the shaft.
