Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Housing and Hoppers

Switch the grinder off and remove the plug from the power supply. Remove any remaining beans from the bean hopper (it may be easiest to tip the grinder over and pour the beans into a bowl.). Remove the hopper by twisting it in a counterclockwise direction as far as it will turn, and then lift the bean hopper from the housing. Wash the hopper, hopper lid, and ground coffee bin in warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

Caution

Do not put the bean hopper, hopper lid, or ground cof- fee bin in the dishwasher. Handwash only.

Do not immerse the grinder housing in water.

Cleaning the Burrs:

If the grinder is used daily, the burrs should be cleaned every few weeks. Cleaning enables the burrs to achieve the most consistent grind pos- sible. Cleaning also removes coffee oils which will stale and degrade the flavor of the ground coffee. Do not wash the burr.

Remove the Ring Burr

Pull the silicone seal off the top of the ring Burr. Remove the ring burr by lifting it straight up out of the grinder by the lifting tabs.
