2. Clean the outside of the grinder body by wiping it with a wet well-wrung sponge or cloth.
3. Wash the cup and grinder cover with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
4. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before reassembling again.

DURONIC

Operating Instructions

Cleaning and Maintenance

It is essential to keep your grinder clean so that you can enjoy the best results every time you use it.

Coffee beans contain oils that will naturally collect in the grinder, particularly around the blade, and these can quickly become stale. The stale oils and residue can taint the taste of anything else you grind in the grinder, so it is important to clean the cups regularly.

Switch off and unplug the grinder before cleaning.

1. Remove the cup from the motor unit.
2. To clean the motor unit, wipe the outside of it with a well-wrun wet cloth. Dry with a dry cloth or leave to air dry.
3. To clean the cup, empty out any dry grounds or residue from under the blades. Then use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to gently clean the lid, inside of the cup and around the blade.
4. Dry properly before placing the cup back into the motor unit or before storing away.

Caution:

• Be careful when cleaning the blade as it is sharp and can cause injury!
• The cup should not be washed in a dishwasher OR submerged in very hot water.
• Do not reassemble the grinder when parts are wet as this may create a fire hazard. Ensure each part is dry before reassembling or storing away.
