Cleaning the Ring Burr

Use the bristle brush (included with your grinder) to remove any loose coffee residue on the ring burr and the center cone burr mounted within the motor housing. Wash the silicone seal in warm soapy water and dry.

Replacing the Ring Burr

Ensure that the black adjustment ring is rotated counterclockwise as far as it will go. Replace the burr by lining up the red tab on the burr with the rectangular cutout on the black adjustment ring. Wiggle and push down firmly on the ring burr to ensure that it seats properly.

After replacing the burr, replace the silicone seal by lining up the two slots in the silicone seal with the small tabs on the top of the ring burr and slide the seal onto the ring burr.

Replacing the Bean Hopper

To replace the bean hopper, line up the two small tabs on the base of the hopper with their respective slots in the top of the grinder hous- ing and insert the hopper into the grinder. Once the hopper is in place rotate it clockwise to your desired

grind setting.
