Using Your Coffee Grinder
1Remove cover and pour the desired amount of coffee beans into the cover. Use the convenient cup markings as a guide.
For example, if you plan to brew 4 cups of coffee, fill with beans to the “4” line.
Note: Since coffee flavor is a matter of personal taste, experiment with different amounts of beans to use per cup.
2Pour measured coffee beans into grinder bowl. Place cover on grinder with the triangle positioned above the lid tab and safety switch slot. Turn. The lid will not fit into any other position, but will drop easily into place when correctly positioned.
3Move cup selector to number of cups you want to grind.
4Plug cord into outlet.
5Press and hold the on/off button to begin operation.
Note: As a safety feature, the grinder will not operate unless the cover is securely in place with tab in the safety switch slot. When the on/off button is released, the grinder will stop and the cover can be removed.
IMPORTANT: If removing the cover to check consistency of coffee grounds, make sure the inner rim is free of coffee particles. Be sure to shake the grounds into the center. Failure to do this may prevent the appliance from operating. If this is the case, remove the lid, clear the grounds from the rim as noted above, and replace cover.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE COVER UNTIL BLADES COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
6Continue to press the on/off button to reach desired grind consis- tency. Once a coarse grind has been reached, the COARSE indicator will illuminate. If a finer grind is desired, continue pressing the on/off button to achieve a MEDIUM grind. When all three lights are illumi- nated, this indicates a FINE grind has been achieved.
NOTE: The amount of time required for grinding will vary with the amount of beans used.
7When beans are ground to desired consistency, release the On/Off button and allow blades to stop.
8Unplug unit from outlet.
9Transfer the coffee grounds from the container to your coffee maker.
10Store ground coffee in a covered container. Refrigerate.
Note: Do not operate this appliance continuously for more than 2 minutes, Allow appliance to cool down for 10 minutes before using again.
Grinding Tips
1A COARSE grind is recommended when using a percolator or the French press method. MEDIUM grind is best for use in automatic drip coffeemakers and
2Your coffee grinder needs to cool after each 60 seconds of use. This cooling period protects your ground coffee from becoming overheated before it is brewed.
3Vary the grinding times to suit your taste and type of beans you grind.
4For the freshest, most flavorful coffee, grind only enough beans for the pot you are making. Coffee beans keep up to 2 months in the freezer in an airtight container and can be ground while still frozen. Coffee grounds left in your grinder can become stale and affect the flavor of freshly ground coffee. Be sure to clean grinding bowl, blades and cover after each use.
