Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Grinding: If grinding feels excessively difficult, ensure the grind setting is not too fine for the beans being used. Coarser settings require less effort. Also, check that the handle is properly attached and the telescopic arm is extended for maximum leverage.
• Inconsistent Grind: Ensure the burr assembly is clean and free of old coffee grounds. A dirty burr can lead to inconsistent results. Verify that all components are securely tightened after cleaning or adjustment.
• Static Cling of Grounds: While the V4 has an anti-static feature, some static may still occur in very dry environments. Utilize the anti-static tapping mechanism as instructed in the operating section.
• Parts Loosening During Grinding: Ensure all threaded connections, especially the catch cup, are securely tightened before grinding. If the burr assembly feels loose, re-check its seating after disassembly and reassembly.
