1. Store Beans and Remove Hopper
Transfer beans from the hopper to an airtight container and unlock and remove the hopper.
You can easily transfer the beans to a container by turning the dial.
2. Run Grinder Empty
Operate the grinder without the hopper to completely clear any remaining coffee from the chamber.
The grinder won't operate without the hopper lid, so keep only the lid in place.
3. Remove Upper Burr
Remove the wire handles on both sides of the burr and detach the upper burr.
Note the number alignment in the handle holes for easier reassembly.
4. Clean Upper Burr with Brush
Thoroughly clean the upper burr using the provided brush.
Use only the brush for cleaning - do not use water or cleaning agents.
5. Clean Lower Burr and Chute
Use the brush to clean the lower burr and surrounding chute.
Ensure all coffee oils and fine particles are removed.
6. Reinstall and Secure Upper Burr
Push the upper burr firmly back into place and reinsert the wire handles.
The grinder will not function properly if the burr is not fully secured.
7. Reattach Hopper and Test Grind
Align and attach the hopper, turn clockwise to lock in place, and perform a test grind.
Recheck the grind setting before your first grind.
