Blade Coffee Grinder Operating Instructions
Before First Use
1.Wash bowl and top cover in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Handle the blade carefully. Bowl and top cover can also be washed in the dishwasher (top rack only).
Blade Coffee Grinder Use
1.Be sure the coffee grinder is unplugged. Make sure inside of top cover is free of coffee grinds or residue.
2.Secure the bowl
to the motor housing by placing the bowl on top and
turning clockwise to lock in place. 3. Place whole
coffee beans in
the bowl to be processed. Fill the bowl to no more than the Maximum Fill line marked on the inside of the bowl as recommended by KitchenAid. Various bean blends and bean sizes can cause differences in fill levels/grind times. Generic markings inside the bowl will help you adjust the amount of grounds to your liking.
4.Position Top Cover over bowl so that it slides over the side guides on the motor housing.
NOTE: Make sure both cover and bowl are in position, otherwise the coffee grinder will not operate.
5.Plug power cord into electrical outlet.
6.Press down Top
Cover to start processing. (For optimum grinding results,
do not pulse top cover.) Continue grinding until all the beans are
ground to the consistency you want, or follow Suggested Grinding Chart for automatic drip coffee makers and french press machines (page 11). NOTE: Do not operate the grinder for longer than 25 seconds.
7.To stop processing, release pressure on Top
Cover.
8. Unplug the appliance.
9. Wait until the blade has stopped rotating and remove Top Cover.
10.Unlock bowl by turning it counterclockwise. Remove bowl from the motor housing.
11. Pour out ground coffee.
