Care and Cleaning

Important Notes:
• Spots and marks on the surface of the
burrs are part of the hardening process.
These marks do not affect the performance
of the grinder or the taste of the coffee.
• Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off
and unplugged from the power outlet prior
to cleaning.
• Do not immerse the motor base of the
coffee grinder in water.
• Do not immerse any part of the grind
cartridge in water or any other liquid.
• Do not place any parts of the coffee grinder
in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring
pads.
Cleaning the motor base and bean hopper
1. Close the hopper closure arm and remove
the bean hopper from the motor base, see

container to preserve their freshness.

water, then rinse and dry.

Cleaning the burrs
If the coffee grinder is used frequently (every
day), the burrs need to be cleaned every
three weeks to ensure best performance of
the coffee grinder. Regular cleaning helps
the burrs achieve consistent grinding results,
which is especially important when grinding
coffee for espresso.
1. Close the hopper closure arm and purge
the grinder by turning on until no more
grinds come out.
2. Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off
and unplugged from the power outlet.
Remove the bean hopper from the motor
base, see figure 8.
3. To remove the grind cartridge, press and
hold down the 'RELEASE' button on the
top of the grinder base and with the other
hand hold the cartridge grip tabs and turn
anti-clockwise, see figure 9.
Note: Using the cartridge grip tabs enables
removal of the grind cartridge without
changing your grind settings.
