CLEANING AND STORAGE
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not
attempt to repair it yourself. Any servicing that requires disassembly, other than cleaning,
must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
To Clean:
1. Before cleaning, be sure the cord is unplugged from the outlet.
2. To ensure the optimum performance of the grinder, fully empty the ground coffee
container and the bean lid following each use.
3. Remove the lid and empty any whole beans from the grinder (see figure 10). Remove
the top grinding wheel by rotating it clockwise and lifting it up (see figure 11). This will
allow you to clean the lower grinding wheel and grinding compartment.
4. Clean the interior of the grinding compartment and the grinding wheels with the
brush provided (see figure 12). Never use water or any liquid to clean the lower
grinding section or main body of this grinder.
5. Wipe the inside of the grinder, lid and body with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
6. The ground coffee container and ground coffee container lid can be washed in hot,
soapy water. They are also both top rack dishwasher safe.
7. Thoroughly dry all parts and replace the top grinding wheel in position by aligning the
tabs and the receptacle. Rotate the top grinding wheel counterclockwise until it locks
into position (see figure 13). Once the top grinding wheel is in position, gently pull
upward to check that it is properly locked in position. If the top grinding wheel comes
out, repeat the steps to replace it.
To Store:
Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store appliance in its box or in a clean, dry
place. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled or use the cord
wrap underneath the grinder. The cleaning brush has an integrated storage location on the
bottom of the grinder (see figure 14).
