1. WELCOMEThis Burr Grinder uses solid steel conical burrs and a high reductionmotor to grind slowly and precisely from Turkish fine to French Presscoarse. The slow grinding imparts minimal heat on the coffee thus pre-serving maximum aroma. The safety lock mechanism prevents thegrinder from grinding without the bean container in place. The removableupper burr makes cleaning easy. We are sure you will find the rightfineness setting for your coffee application. Enjoy!2. BEFORE INITIAL USE1.

HELPFUL HINTS1. Never grind without the ground coffee container in place! Makesure that the ground coffee container is completely inserted into themachine before grinding. Otherwise ground coffee can blow out ofthe grinder spout creating a mess on your countertop.2. Make sure there are no beans in the bean container before removingit from the machine.3. When grinding different kinds of beans, only fill the bean containerwith the amount you intend to grind. This way you avoid emptyingthe bean container.4. If you need to empty the bean container proceed as follows:a. Unplug the item,b. Turn the machine upside downc. Carefully pour the beans into another receptacle.5. The finer the grind setting the longer it takes to grind a certainamount of coffee, e.g. in a very coarse setting the machine willgrind more coffee in 20 seconds than in a very fine setting.6
