Frequently Asked Questions - CG1451 Salton

How do I use the Salton CG1451 coffee grinder?

Fill the bowl with coffee beans up to the max line, place the lid securely, and press the button in short pulses for desired grind consistency. Release the button to stop.

Can I grind other ingredients besides coffee beans?

The Salton CG1451 is designed primarily for coffee beans. Grinding spices or nuts may affect flavor and is not recommended.

How do I clean the coffee grinder?

Unplug the grinder. Wipe the bowl, lid, and blades with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base or any part in water. Dry thoroughly before reuse.

What is the maximum capacity of the bowl?

The bowl holds up to approximately 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of whole coffee beans. Do not overfill.

Why does the grinder stop when I remove the lid?

The Salton CG1451 has a safety lock feature that automatically stops the motor when the lid is removed. This prevents accidental operation.

Can I use the grinder continuously for a long time?

The grinder is designed for short bursts. Do not run continuously for more than 30 seconds; let it cool down between uses.

What should I do if the blades become dull or damaged?

Replacement blade assemblies are available. Contact Salton customer service or check online retailers for spare parts.

How do I adjust the grind size?

The grind size is controlled by the duration of the pulses. Short pulses produce coarser grind; longer pulses produce finer grind.

Is the grinder suitable for espresso?

For espresso, a very fine grind is needed. This grinder can achieve fine grind, but consistency may vary. Adjust pulse time accordingly.

GRIND SELECTOR CONTROL

The Grind Selector Control has 5 settings from coarse to fine. The setting that you choose will influence the strength of coffee.

• Coarse: coarse grained for percolators
• First mark: medium grained for French press coffee makers
  • Second mark: fine grained for filter coffee makers
• Third mark: extra fine grained for espresso, latte macchiato and cappuccino
• Fine: super fine grained for Turkish coffee

IMPORTANT: Please note that the grinder will pause when grinding in the Coarse and First Mark settings.

Coffee Beans

Experimenting with the Grinder will enable you to get exactly the grind you prefer for your coffee. A fine grind exposes more surface to the water and therefore a more rapid rate of extraction of flavour. A coarser grind, which exposes little surface, is appropriate for the longer brewing cycle of percolators. Check your coffee maker instructions for the type of grind that is best.

For the freshest, most robust cup of coffee, grind only enough coffee for the pot you are making. If you are making a large pot, you may need to grind in two batches. Coffee beans will keep up to 2 months in the freezer (in an airtight container) and can be ground while still frozen. Fresh beans will yield the best flavour and aroma.

Tips for making espresso:

a) The coffee must be finely ground but not too fine. The correct grind should look gritty like salt or sand.
b) If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee when brewing.
c) If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow through too fast.

1. Use the coffee grounds immediately or place in an airtight container for storage.
2. Follow the instructions in the Care and Cleaning section.

Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices take on a fresh, more flavourful taste when freshly ground. Dried herbs can be combined and ground for a few seconds giving them move flavour. Peppercorns, when freshly ground, taste totally different from canned pre-ground pepper. Spices such as allspice, cardamom, celery seed, mustard seed & coriander seed grind very well.

Not Recommended

The Grinder will grind most dry or brittle substances. It WILL NOT grind anything which is moist, gummy or extremely hard (chocolate, nuts, whole nutmeg, candied ginger, etc.). It 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 plastic lid to pitt, discolor or crack. Grains such as corn, wheat, rice barley and rye may also cause damage to the Lid. Chopping, mincing or pureeing of soft foods is not recommended.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. Do not operate this appliance for longer than 1 minute at a time as this could cause overheating. Allow to cool for at least a few minutes after each use. Allow the appliance to cool down for 10 – 15 minutes after 1 minute of continuous use.
2. Do not force when the blade stalls as there could be a foreign substance wedged in the blade. Turn the appliance off, UNPLUG from the wall outlet and follow the instructions in the Before First Use section.
3. For best flavour, store coffee beans in an airtight container.
4. Grind coffee beans immediately before brewing.
5. The strength of the coffee depends on the grind fineness and the amount of coffee grounds. The finer the coffee grinds and the more ground coffee that is used, the stronger the taste.
6. Coffee flavour and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of coffee beans, the amount of coffee and the fineness of the grind to find the flavour you prefer.

CARE AND CLEANING

Assembly

   NOTE: Do not use abrasives.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension 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.
