• Grinder not starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check that the bean hopper lid is properly closed and seated. Verify there are no coffee beans jamming the burrs.
• Inconsistent grind: Confirm the grind setting is appropriate for your brewing method. Clean the burrs and grind path thoroughly to remove any obstructions or build-up.
• Excessive static/mess: Ensure the anti-static feature is functioning. Regularly clean the grind path and collection container to minimize static buildup.
