Care and cleaning

10.Place the Burr Coffee Mill upright. It is now ready for use.

Adjusting the Cutting Burrs For Wear

The cutting burrs are made of high-quality stainless steel for exceptional longevity. After prolonged use, however, the burrs might require adjustment to compensate for wear. If your grinds – especially espresso – are not as fine as they used to be, an adjustment may need to be made.

See “Adjusting the Cutting Burrs” on page 9 for information on adjusting the burrs to provide maximum grind fineness.

Replacing the Cutting Burrs

If the cutting burrs are damaged, or have reached the end of their life (usually after grinding 600–800 lbs [270–360 kg] of coffee), they can be replaced easily. Contact KitchenAid at 1-800-541-6390 to order a set of replacement burrs.

To Replace the Burrs:

1.Remove the faceplate and burr-shaft assemblies. For instructions, see “Cleaning the Cutting Burrs” steps 1, 2, and 3 on page 13.

2.With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the burr from the burr-shaft assembly by turning the two burr-mounting screws counter-clockwise until free.

3.Remove the burr from the motor housing by turning the two burr- mounting screws counter-clockwise until free.

4.Attach the replacement burrs to the burr-shaft assembly and motor housing using the burr-mounting screws.

Make certain the cutting surfaces of the burrs face outward, and the burr- mounting screws are tight.

5.Insert the burr-shaft assembly into the motor housing and attach the faceplate assembly. For instructions, see “Cleaning the Cutting Burrs” steps 5 – 10 on pages 14 and 15.
