OPERATION

INITIAL SETUP
1. Remove the contents from the packaging and hand-wash the hopper lid (1), bean hopper (2), and grounds bin
in warm, soapy water. Let air dry. Do not wash the ring burr
2. To install the hopper, align the silver grind setting indicator
hopper down and twist clockwise into place. The grinder will not start without the hopper
* If there is difficulty in installing the hopper: Ensure that the ring burr
(12) must be rotated fully counterclockwise using the grind adjustment tabs
ADJUSTING THE GRIND SIZE
The grind settings on the Encore go from very coarse (grind setting 40) to very fine (grind setting 1). To adjust the grind
size, rotate the hopper so that the silver grind setting indicator on the hopper is aligned with the desired grind setting.
When adjusting the grind setting, the grinder must be running or completely empty of beans to prevent damage to the
grinder.
Below are suggested grind setting starting points to use for common brew methods. The grind size will need to be adjusted
coarser or finer based on variables such as the recipe used, roast level, type of coffee, and taste preference.
The exact grind setting needed in each situation can only be found through experimentation and the development of one's
palate. Learn more at baratza.com
