4. Invert the grinder attachment and place it onto the motor base, ensuring it is correctly aligned and locked.

8. Once grinding is complete, turn the control dial to '0' (Off) and unplug the appliance.
9. Carefully remove the grinder attachment from the motor base, invert it, and remove the blade assembly to access the ground ingredients.
