Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) is supplied to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Fill the bowl to your desired cup size with 4 cups minimum or 12 cups maximum level. Various bean blends and bean sizes can cause differences in fill level and grind times.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

COFFEE GRINDING TIPS

1. Grind only beans you will immediately use for freshest-tasting coffee.
2. Adjust amount of coffee beans and grinding time to suit your own personal taste. Shorter grinding times result in coarser grinds. Longer grinding times result in finer grinds, but can overheat the coffee grinds and valuable coffee flavors can be lost. (For optimum grinding results, do not pulse top cover.)

3. KitchenAid does not recommend using this grinder to grind beans for pump espresso-type machines.

4. The Suggested Grinding Chart shows recommended grinding times at various levels for automatic drip coffeemakers and French press machines.

5. A scale is provided inside the bowl for the KitchenAid recommended amount of beans to grind for 4, 8, 10, and 12 cups of coffee. Fill the bowl to your desired cup size with 4 cups minimum or 12 cups maximum level. Various bean blends and bean sizes can cause differences in fill level and grind times.
