ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

All users of this appliance must read and understand this instruction manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

1. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.
2. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit OFF and unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.
4. If this appliance falls or accidentally becomes immersed in water, unplug it immediately. Do not reach into the water! Do not use this appliance after it has fallen into or becomes immersed in water.
5. To reduce the risk of injury to persons or property, never use this appliance in an unstable position.
6. Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.

NOTES ON THE PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

NOTES ON THE CORD

a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) A longer power-supply cord or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a longer power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your Burr Grinder may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Unpack the Burr Grinder and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the hopper and lid with a damp cloth.
3. Make sure the inside parts are completely dry before using.
4. Remove the coffee drawer and wash with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before using.
5. Make sure the removable coffee drawer is in position at the base of the unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the Beans: Remove the hopper lid. Add whole roasted coffee beans to the MAX mark on the hopper. Replace the hopper lid. Do not overfill the hopper past the max line. This can cause the unit to jam, or cause the unit to stop functioning.
2. Select Grind Size: Following the markings on the dial, turn the grinding dial to one of grinding level needed for optimal brewing.
3. Select number of cups: Turn the ground coffee CUPS dial to the desired number of cups of coffee (2 to 12) to be brewed.
4. Grind: Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the ON/OFF Button.

IMPORTANT! The Burr Grinder will NOT operate unless the removable ground coffee drawer and the hopper lid is in proper position.

The Burr Grinder will begin operation; ground coffee will begin to drop into the removable ground coffee drawer. When the pre-set amount of ground coffee is produced, the Burr Grinder will automatically turn OFF.

1. Remove the grounds: Grasp the ground coffee drawer by the side handle. Pull straight out of the side housing. Pour ground coffee directly into any coffee maker filter basket. Make sure you do not overfill the ground coffee drawer beyond the max line. The maximum capacity is 100g. If the drawer is overfilled it can cause the machine to clog up and stop functioning.

Store unused ground coffee in an airtight container for future use.

Clean the Burr Grinder according to the Care & Cleaning Instructions described in this instruction manual.

NOTE: Tap the removable ground coffee drawer on the counter a few times to help reduce static before opening the lid.

COFFEE BEAN GRINDING CHART

GrInd Suggested Use	GrInd Size
Coarse French Press/Cold Brew Approx. 1.5 mm
Medium Percolator/Pour Over, Automatic Drip/Filtered		Approx. 0.75 - 1.0 mm
Fine Espresso, Turkish, Mocha Approx. 0.20 - 0.38 mm

GRIND SIZE SETTINGS

The Burr Grinder can grind enough coffee for up to 20 cups (100g) at a time when set on coarse settings. More time is required for a finer grind, therefore when set on finer settings the yield will be less than 12 cups. Use the below chart as a reference for how much ground coffee you can expect on the various grind settings, even when 12 cups is selected on the dial.

Coarse Settings Approx. 100g = Aprox. 20 Cups
Medium Settings Approx. 70g = Aprox. 14 Cups
Fine Settings Approx. 50g = Aprox. 10 Cups

*Based on 5g per cup

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Fresh beans will yield the best flavor and aroma.
• Keep coffee beans in an airtight container.
• Smaller grinds have a greater surface area and extraction happens more quickly.

Larger grinds have less surface area and extraction happens more slowly.

For optimum extraction match the grind size to contact time and brew method.

Examples: Finer grinds for espresso, medium grinds for drip and pour over coffee, and coarser grinds for French press and cold brew.

NOT RECOMMENDED

This Burr Grinder is NOT suitable for grinding herbs and spices.

This Burr Grinder WILL NOT GRIND anything which is moist, gummy or extremely hard: ice, chocolate, whole nutmeg, candied ginger, etc.

• This Burr Grinder will NOT make pastes of any kind from seeds such as sunflower or sesame.
• Grinding cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg is not advised as the oils and hardness can cause the hopper to discolor or crack.
• Never add oils or liquids while grinding.
• Chopping, mincing or pureeing of soft foods is not recommended.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

Problem Solution
Grinder stops working during use	Grinder overheats. If the motor shuts down, unplug the coffee grinder and empty the coffee grounds from the ground coffee drawer. Once the drawer is empty, let the motor rest for approximately 30 minutes. Once the 30-minute reset is complete, plug the power cord back into the 120V AC electrical outlet and continue grinding.
Grinder clogs When grinding on the fine setting for 12 cups, never grind more than two times before emptying the ground coffee drawer. At the medium and coarse grind settings, empty the ground coffee drawer after every 12-cup coffee grind.
The grinder does not operate when the ON/OFF button is pressed.	Ensure the power plug is correctly inserted into the 120V AC electrical outlet.
	Ensure the hopper lid is placed in the correct position.
	Ensure the removable ground coffee drawer with lid is placed correctly on the base.
