REPLACING THE BEAN HOPPER

To replace the bean hopper, line up the silver grind setting indicator tab with the black triangle on
the right side of the grind setting scale, near setting 40. Once the hopper is in place, press down
gently, and rotate it clockwise to lock it in.

CLEARING A CLOGGED GRINDER

If your grinder is not dispensing coffee normally, it could be clogged with coffee powder. This can
happen if the grounds bin or portafilter are overfilled and ground coffee gets backed up into the
grounds chute and grinding chamber. It can also happen with the buildup of coffee powder over
time. Clearing a clog requires more effort than a normal cleaning, as coffee becomes packed in a
hard-to-access passageway between the burr and grounds bin.
Go to the Troubleshooting section on baratza.com/troubleshooting for help unclogging your grinder.

AUTOMATIC CLEANING

A thorough, fast, and easy cleaning can be accomplished using biodegradable grinder cleaning
tablets. Grinder cleaning tablets are designed to dislodge coffee particles and absorb and
remove odors and coffee oil residue. Remove all beans from the hopper and run the grinder to
remove any beans inside. Place the recommended amount of tablets into the empty grinder
hopper. Adjust the grind setting to 30, insert the grounds bin and use the dial to run the grinder.
Grind all of the tablets into the bin. Once complete, we recommend grinding approximately 30g
coffee to remove any tablet residue. Discard the ground tablets/coffee.
