4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the grinder from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage. Inspect the grinder for any signs of damage.
- Placement: Place the grinder on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Hopper Installation: Insert the bean hopper into its designated slot on top of the grinder. Rotate to lock it into position. Ensure the hopper slide gate is closed before filling with beans.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the grinder and then plug it into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. Verify that the voltage matches the grinder's specifications.
- Initial Grind Setting: Before adding beans, turn the grind adjustment collar to a coarse setting. This prevents burr damage if the burrs are too close together.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Filling the Hopper
Open the hopper slide gate, then fill the hopper with fresh, roasted coffee beans. Close the hopper lid securely to maintain bean freshness and prevent foreign objects from entering.
5.2 Adjusting Grind Size
The grind size is adjusted by rotating the adjustment collar located below the hopper. A finer grind is achieved by turning the collar clockwise, and a coarser grind by turning it counter-clockwise. Make small adjustments and test the grind to find the desired consistency for your brewing method.

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure optimal performance and longevity of your grinder.
6.1 Daily Cleaning
