Frequently Asked Questions - DBM-T10 CUISINART

How do I clean the Cuisinart DBM-T10 coffee grinder?

What is the capacity of the bean hopper?

The bean hopper holds up to 8 ounces (227 grams) of whole coffee beans, enough to grind for up to 32 cups of coffee depending on your brew strength.

How many grind settings does the DBM-T10 have?

It offers 18 grind settings from fine (for espresso) to coarse (for French press), allowing precise control over the grind size.

Can I grind spices or nuts in this grinder?

No, this grinder is designed exclusively for coffee beans. Using other materials may damage the burrs and void the warranty.

Why does the grinder stop grinding before the container is full?

The DBM-T10 has an automatic shutoff feature that stops the grinder when the ground coffee container is full. If it stops early, ensure the container is properly seated and not overfilled.

INTRODUCTION

The next generation of coffee grinders has arrived to deliver the new standard in home-ground coffee! The burr grinds the beans with precise uniformity while maintaining the full flavor of the coffee bean. Whether you're using a French Press, Auto Drip or Espresso machine, you'll always start with the best, most precise ingredients. This grinder is fully automated – just choose your grind setting and number of cups, touch Start, and the LCD with countdown timer lets you know how soon you'll have your perfectly ground coffee!

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove bean hopper lid.
2. Fill bean hopper, making sure that the lid closes securely. Maximum bean capacity is 8 oz. Be sure you have enough beans to grind your desired amount of coffee.
3. Select grind setting – turn the hopper to the desired setting. The higher the number, the coarser the grind. Use 1–6 for Espresso, 7–12 for Auto Drip, 13–18 for French Press.
4. Plug cord into outlet. Touch the power icon to illuminate the touchscreen.
5. Select cup setting – press the cup selector icon repeatedly until your desired number of cups is displayed on the LCD, from 1 to 14 cups. Press and hold the icon to scroll through the numbers quickly.
6. Touch the Start icon to begin grinding. A safety interlock system prevents the unit from operating unless the hopper and grind chamber are properly in place.
7. Grinding will automatically stop upon completion.

NOTE: To cancel operation during use, touch the Start or Power icon. The grinder will stop and the display will return to the selection screen.

1. Pull the grind chamber toward you to remove from unit.

NOTE: If the grind chamber is overfilled, the chute can get clogged and the unit will not work. To unclog, use the scoop brush to clear out the chute of excess grounds. Should the grinder stop at any point, the motor has likely overheated. Wait for your grinder to cool off (up to 30 minutes), then resume use.

MANUAL GRIND

If you prefer, after selecting your grind setting, you have the option of manually controlling how much coffee the unit will grind. To do so, follow steps 1–4 on previous page. Then press and hold the manual icon until the desired amount of coffee has been ground. The LCD will display the number of cups dispensed.

NOTE: To avoid overflow when using the manual feature, the grinder will automatically stop grinding when the maximum capacity has been reached.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure plug has been removed from outlet.
2. Beans can be removed from the hopper by lifting off the lid and pouring excess beans out. Hold down the Manual icon to clean out any remaining beans.
   3 The bean hopper lid, grind chamber, and grind chamber lid can be washed by hand with hot, soapy water or placed in the top shelf of a dishwasher. Dry thoroughly.
3. To remove the bean hopper for easy cleaning, simply remove beans, then turn the hopper counterclockwise to unscrew and lift out.
4. Use the brush to remove grinds or wash by hand. Replace the burr grinder onto the unit and rotate until the piece is fully inserted.

NOTE: The hopper will not attach to the unit if the grinder has not been fully inserted.

1. Wipe body of grinder with a damp cloth.

WARNING: Never immerse unit in water.

Maintenance

Any other servicing or maintenance should be performed by an authorized service representative.

WARRANTY

Limited 18-Month Warranty (U.S. and Canada only)

This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart ^® Touchscreen Burr Grinder that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your Cuisinart ^® Touchscreen Burr Grinder will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 18 months from the date of original purchase.

We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration. However, product registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer's prior usage of the product. If neither of the above two options results in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility, if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty. California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement,

and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.

Your Cuisinart ^® Touchscreen Burr Grinder has been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has been designed for use only in 120-volt outlets and only with authorized accessories and replacement parts.
