Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Grinder does not start. | Not plugged in; power switch off; bean hopper not correctly installed. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the power button is pressed. Reinstall the bean hopper correctly. |
| Coffee grounds are not dispensing. | Grinding chamber clogged; ground coffee container full or not in place. | Clean the grinding chamber and burrs. Ensure the ground coffee container is empty and correctly positioned. Use the air-blast cleaner. |
| Inconsistent grind. | Burrs are dirty or worn; incorrect grind setting for bean type. | Clean the burrs thoroughly. Adjust the grind setting to a finer or coarser level as needed. Consider replacing burrs if heavily worn. |
| Excessive static or mess. | Anti-static system not functioning optimally; very dry beans. | Ensure the anti-static system is clean. Try slightly misting beans with water before grinding to reduce static. |
| Motor heats up quickly / stops. | Overloading; continuous operation for too long. | Do not overload the grinder. Allow the unit to cool down if it stops due to overheating. Grind in shorter intervals if necessary. |
