OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS

Some types of coffee may require a wider grind range to achieve an ideal extraction or brew.
A feature of your Smart Grinder™ Pro is the ability to extend this range with an adjustable upper burr. We recommend making only one adjustment at a time.

CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE

1. Empty beans from the hopper and grind out any excess beans (see below).
2. Unplug power cord from power outlet before cleaning.
3. Wash the grind container and lid, bean hopper and lid in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe and polish exterior of appliance with a soft damp cloth.

NOTE
Do not use alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents, steel wool or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.

NOTE
Please do not clean any grinder parts or accessories in the dishwasher.

CLEANING CONICAL BURRS

Regular cleaning helps the burrs achieve consistent grinding results which is especially important when grinding for espresso coffee.
