Press-fit hopper lid makes for quick and easy filling. Hopper and lid are dishwasher-safe (top rack only). Coffee Bin Coffee bin is glass to minimize the static “cling” of coffee grinds. Bin is dishwasher- safe (top rack only). Bin Platform Platform pad seats the coffee bin under the grinding spout. Bin Seal Plate Plate helps position the coffee bin under the grinding spout and prevents coffee grinds from escaping. Grind Control Dial Large, easy-to-use dial selects one of 15 grind levels in half-step increments from 1 to 8. Grind Level Ring Metal ring displays grind levels 1 (coarse) through 8 (fine). On/Off Switch Switch “On” to grind, “Off” to stop. BURR COFFEE MILL FEatUREs

Continued… ENGLISHFaceplate Assembly & Screws Assembly includes the grind control dial and grind level ring. Two faceplate screws attach the faceplate assembly to the motor housing. Loosen the screws and remove the faceplate assembly to access the burrs. When reassembling the faceplate, the two screws must be tightened simultaneously to allow the faceplate to sit flush with the Burr Coffee Mill. Precision Stainless Steel Cutting Burrs Large 2

⁄4-inch (5.7 cm) diameter flat cutting burrs provide long life and superb grind consistency. Burrs can be adjusted to compensate for wear, or calibrated to meet stringent Specialty Coffee Association of America guidelines for espresso and French Press grinds. Low-RPM Operation A special DC motor and gear reduction system slows the rotation of the cutting burrs, minimizing the frictional heating of the grinds and preserving coffee flavor and aroma. The low rpm operation also reduces the static charge – and “cling” – of coffee grinds. Power Cord with Tie Round cord has no grind-trapping seams; the tie can be used to bundle any excess. One-Piece Metal Base with No-Slip Rubber Feet Metal base provides a stable platform for the mill. Rubber feet dampen noise and vibration, and help protect the countertop. Burr Cleaning Brush Dense bristles sweep grinds from the cutting burrs quickly and easily.

ENGLISH BURR COFFEE MILL FEatUREsBefore First Use Before using the Burr Coffee Mill, wipe the motor housing and cord with a clean damp cloth. Wash the bean hopper, hopper lid, and coffee bin in hot soapy water, then rinse and dry. The bean hopper, hopper lid, and coffee bin can also be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher. Operating the Burr Coffee Mill Make certain the Burr Coffee Mill is unplugged. Attach the bean hopper to the top of the motor housing by turning the hopper clockwise until snug. Slide the coffee bin onto the bin platform; the bin seal plate on the motor housing will compress slightly to accommodate the bin. Make certain the bin is centered in the middle of the bin platform. Fill the bean hopper to the level desired. At maximum, the hopper holds 7 oz. (200 g) of beans. NOTE: This product is intended to grind whole coffee beans only. Place the hopper lid onto the hopper. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. The tie provided on the power cord can be used to bundle any excess cord.

ENGLISH Continued…8 ENGLISH Select the grind by turning the grind control dial to the desired setting on the grind level ring. See the grind setting table below to match the grind level to your brewing process. With use, you’ll be able to refine the settings to match your own tastes. NOTE: Because partially ground coffee beans may remain between the burrs after the Burr Coffee Mill is turned off, selecting a finer grind may be easier when the Burr Coffee Mill is running. To grind coffee, flip the On/Off Switch to the “On” position. When the desired amount of coffee has been ground, flip the On/Off Switch to the “Off” position, remove the coffee container, and scoop out the ground coffee.

PRO LINE™ Burr Coffee Mill will provide grinds suitable for almost all types of brewing. If you’re an espresso or French Press aficionado, however, you may wish to adjust the cutting burrs to provide optimum performance for your style of brewing. With adjustment, the Burr Coffee Mill will easily meet stringent Specialty Coffee Association of America grind-size specifications for espresso (250 micron grind size) or French Press brewing (1500 micron grind size). Adjusting for Maximum Grind Fineness Adjusting the mill to provide maximum fineness will slightly decrease the grind sizes throughout the grinding range. (To adjust the mill to provide coarser grinds, see page 10.) Empty the bean hopper, then run the mill a few seconds to clear any remaining beans from the machine. Turn the grind control dial to level “8”. Using a

⁄32-inch (4 mm) allen wrench or hex-head screwdriver, remove the screw located in the front of the grind control dial by turning it counter- clockwise. Hold the grind control dial so that it does not rotate as the screw is removed. Once the screw is free, remove the grind control dial.

The white grind control gear should be visible once the grind control dial is removed. Turn on the mill by flipping the On/Off Switch to the “On” position.

ENGLISH Continued…10 ENGLISH Rotate the grind control gear clockwise one “click” or detent at a time until you hear the burrs touching one another – when they touch, the burrs will make a distinct “rubbing” or grating sound. When the burrs are touching, turn the grind control gear counter-clockwise one “click” or detent. The grating or “rubbing” sound will stop. Turn off the mill by flipping the On/Off Switch to the “Off” position. The mill is now calibrated to provide maximum fineness. Re-attach the grind control dial, making certain the dial indicator points to grind level “8”. NOTE: If the Burr Coffee Mill produces a grating or “rubbing” sound during use, the burrs have been improperly adjusted. To avoid damage to the burrs, readjust the burrs immediately.

Adjusting to Provide Coarser Grinds When the Burr Coffee Mill is adjusted to provide coarser grinds, grind sizes will increase throughout the grinding range and the finest level may become too coarse for espresso. (To re-calibrate the Burr Coffee Mill for maximum grind fineness, see page 9.) Turn the grind control dial to level “1”. Using a

⁄32-inch (4 mm) allen wrench or hex-head screwdriver, remove the screw located in the front of the grind control dial by turning it counter-clockwise. Once the screw is free, remove the grind control dial. The white grind control gear should be visible once the dial is removed. Rotate the grind control gear counter- clockwise one “click” or detent at a time until the “clicking” sound diminishes and the gear offers little resistance to being turned. Re-attach the grind control dial, making certain the dial indicator points to level “1”.

aDjUstInG thE CUttInG BURRs11 ENGLISH BURR COFFEE MILL tIPs Select the correct grind for the brew process you are using. Fifteen grind levels are available in half-step increments from 1 to 8. Level 8 produces a very fine grind perfect for espresso, 4

⁄2 to 6 are medium grinds appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers, and 1 is a coarse grind suited to French Press brewing. Experiment – your tastes may be better served by using a slightly finer or coarser grind. For standard drip-process coffee, a good starting point is to use 1 oz. (28 g) of coffee for every 4 cups (17 oz. [500 ml]) of brew water as measured with a carafe (a carafe “cup” is about 4

⁄4 oz. [125 mm]). Finer grinds usually require less coffee, but using too fine a grind will result in bitter flavor – see “How the Grind Affects Flavor” on page 12. If you prefer substantially weaker-than-average coffee, it’s best to brew using a normal amount of ground coffee and then dilute the result with hot water. Doing this will maximize flavor and minimize bitterness. Ground coffee loses flavor and aroma very quickly. For the best results, grind only as much as you intend to immediately use. To retain freshness, coffee beans should be stored in an airtight container and kept in a cool, dark place. It is not recommended that you store beans in the mill’s bean hopper for a prolonged period. Clean the coffee bin and cutting burrs frequently. Grinding flavored coffee beans will impart an off-taste to any other coffee that is ground in the mill. If you enjoy flavored coffee, it’s best to add flavored syrups or creamers to your coffee after brewing or dedicate another mill for grinding flavored beans only. Note: The burrs will require more frequent cleaning when grinding flavored, or very oily coffee beans. The Burr Coffee Mill is intended for grinding whole coffee beans only. Do not grind other food items.

• 12 ENGLISH The flavor of coffee depends on a variety of factors, including the quality, freshness, and roast of the beans, the purity of the brew water, the cleanliness of the brewing equipment, and the brewing temperature. The fineness and consistency of the grind is also critical. Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process – using a fine espresso grind in a drip coffee maker, for example – will result in the brew water over-extracting the oils and aromatic compounds in the coffee, yielding a brew that is extremely pungent and bitter. Conversely, coffee that is too coarsely ground for a particular process will result in the under-extraction of the oils and essences, resulting in a very thin and weak flavor. If the correct grind is used, adding more coffee simply makes a brew stronger without making it excessively bitter. The consistency of the grind is also an important factor in the flavor of coffee – and absolutely critical when making great espresso. If the grounds are uniform, equal amounts of soluble compounds will be extracted from each. If the grounds vary in size, some will be over-extracted and some will be under-extracted, leading to extremely poor quality. It's not surprising that a precision grind is mandatory for good espresso, which is brewed with near-boiling water under 9 bars (130 lbs. [59 kg]) of pressure. Coffee grind quality is directly related to the type of grinder used. High speed grinders with small burr sets are usually not able to produce the fineness or consistency required for the best espresso. They also excessively heat the beans while grinding, resulting in lost flavor and aroma. The KitchenAid

PRO LINE™ Burr Coffee Mill uses a pair of large, commercial- style, flat cutting burrs to grind coffee with precision. Frictional heating is minimized with a gear reduction system that slows burr rotation, and uniformity is enhanced with a helical- gear that transports beans to the burrs at a controlled rate. The result is a superb grind that makes your coffee and espresso the best it can be. hOw thE GRInD aFFECts FLavOR13 ENGLISH Cleaning the Motor Housing and Hoppers Make sure the Burr Coffee Mill is switched off and unplugged before cleaning. Do not immerse the motor housing in water. To avoid damage to the Burr Coffee Mill, do not immerse the cutting burrs, burr-shaft assembly, or face-plate assembly in water. Keep them dry at all times. To avoid damaging the finish, do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Wipe the motor housing and cord with a clean damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash the coffee bin, bean hopper, and hopper lid in hot soapy water, then rinse and dry. The bean hopper, hopper lid, and coffee bin can also be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher. Cleaning the Cutting Burrs If the mill is used frequently, the cutting burrs need to be cleaned every few weeks for best performance. Cleaning enables the burrs to achieve the finest, most consistent grinds possible – which is especially important when grinding coffee for espresso. Foreign objects – like pebbles or twigs – sometimes find their way into whole bean coffee. These objects may cause the mill to jam. If this happens, follow the burr-cleaning procedure to remove the foreign material. Make sure the mill is switched off and unplugged. Remove the coffee bin and bean hopper from the mill.

Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the two faceplate screws counter-clockwise until the faceplate assembly is free. (The faceplate screws have retaining clips that prevent them from being removed from the faceplate assembly.) Slowly slide the faceplate assembly away from the motor housing. A separate burr-shaft assembly on the inside of the motor housing will usually slide out with the faceplate assembly. Place a hand under the burr-shaft assembly to keep it from falling as the faceplate assembly is removed. If the burr-shaft assembly does not slide out with the face-plate assembly, tap to loosen and grasp the center shaft of the burr-shaft assembly and remove it from the housing.

CaRE anD CLEanInG Faceplate Assembly Burr-Shaft Assembly Continued…14 ENGLISH Using the burr-cleaning brush, clean the burr mounted on the burr-shaft assembly and the burr mounted within the motor housing. Note: To avoid damage to the Burr Coffee Mill, do not wash the burrs or burr-shaft assembly in water. Keep them dry at all times. After cleaning, tilt the Burr Coffee Mill backward so the front of the motor housing faces upward.

With the corkscrew-shaped auger shaft facing into the motor housing, insert the burr-shaft assembly into the mill. Keep the burr-shaft assembly level, so the tip of the auger shaft will line up with the small socket in the motor housing. Once the burr-shaft assembly is in the motor housing, rotate the assembly until it falls into place. When correctly positioned, the burr-shaft assembly cannot be rotated, and pushing on the burr-shaft will make it spring back. Place the faceplate assembly onto the motor housing. Make sure the numbers on grind level ring are positioned across the top of the assembly. Using your fingers, tighten the faceplate screws by turning them clockwise. The two screws must be tightened simultaneously to allow the faceplate to sit flush with the unit.

CaRE anD CLEanInG15 ENGLISH After the faceplate screws have been finger-tightened, use a flat-head screwdriver to tighten them until snug. Place the Burr Coffee Mill upright. It is now ready for use. Adjusting the Cutting Burrs For Wear The cutting burrs are made of high-quality stainless steel for exceptional longevity. After prolonged use, however, the burrs might require adjustment to compensate for wear. If your grinds – especially espresso – are not as fine as they used to be, an adjustment may need to be made. See “Adjusting the Cutting Burrs” on page 9 for information on adjusting the burrs to provide maximum grind fineness. Replacing the Cutting Burrs If the cutting burrs are damaged, or have reached the end of their life (usually after grinding 600–800 lbs [270–360 kg] of coffee), they can be replaced easily. Contact KitchenAid at 1-800-541-6390 to order a set of replacement burrs.

To Replace the Burrs: Remove the faceplate and burr-shaft assemblies. For instructions, see “Cleaning the Cutting Burrs” steps 1, 2, and 3 on page 13. With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the burr from the burr-shaft assembly by turning the two burr-mounting screws counter-clockwise until free. Remove the burr from the motor housing by turning the two burr- mounting screws counter-clockwise until free. Attach the replacement burrs to the burr-shaft assembly and motor housing using the burr-mounting screws. Make certain the cutting surfaces of the burrs face outward, and the burr- mounting screws are tight. Insert the burr-shaft assembly into the motor housing and attach the faceplate assembly. For instructions, see “Cleaning the Cutting Burrs” steps 5 – 10 on pages 14 and 15.

CaRE anD CLEanInG16 ENGLISH If the mill does not run when switched on: Check to see if the mill is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. If it is, unplug the mill, then plug it into the same outlet again. If the mill still does not work, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the mill is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed. If the mill does not run after taking these steps, a foreign object may be jamming the cutting burrs. See “Cleaning the Cutting Burrs” on page 13 for more information.

• If the mill runs when switched on, but coffee does not grind: The cutting burrs require cleaning or are worn. See “Cleaning the Cutting Burrs” on page 13 or “Replacing the Cutting Burrs” on page 15 for more information. If the mill is operating normally, but stops abruptly: Immediately turn off the mill. A foreign object, such as a pebble or twig, may have jammed the cutting burrs. See “Cleaning the Cutting Burrs” on page 13 for more information. If the grind is too coarse, or the mill isn’t producing an acceptable range of grinds: See “Adjusting the Cutting Burrs” on page 9 or “Replacing the Cutting Burrs” on page 15 for more information. If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps above, see the KitchenAid Warranty and Service sections on pages 17-19.*
