Cleaning the Grinding Chamber Exit Port:

Turn the grinder so the back is facing you, then rotate the black adjustment ring counter clockwise until it stops. The rectangular cutout on the ring should now be at the 11 o’clock position (see pho- to # 3). Directly below the cutout, at the bottom of the chamber is the exit port leading to the grounds bin. If the exit port is clogged, clear it with the jumbo paper clip and brush. Make sure the exit port and grounds chute are clear all the way to the

exit of the grounds chute. A blast of compressed air can help complete the cleaning.

Note

The use of Grindz will NOT clear a clogged grinder, this can only be done by following the steps in “Clearing a Clogged Grinder”.

A thorough, fast, and easy cleaning can be accomplished using Grindz™ grinder cleaner. Grindz™ is a product designed to dislodge coffee par- ticles and absorb and remove odors and coffee oil

residue. Simply place one packet of Grintz™ into the empty grinder hopper. Adjust grind setting to 20, and operate as if grinding coffee beans until all of the Grindz™ has been ground. Once complete, we recommend passing about 4 Tbs. of coffee through the grinder to remove any Grindz™ residue. Discard the ground coffee. For informa- tion on Grindz™ go to www.urnex.com.
