KITCHENAID® BLADE COFFEE GRINDER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Before First Use Wash bowl and top cover in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Handle the blade gently. Bowl and top cover can also be washed in the dishwasher (top rack only). NOTE: Do not operate the grinder for longer than 25 seconds. To Use Blade Coffee Grinder: 1. Be sure the coffee grinder is unplugged. Make sure inside of top cover is free of coffee grinds or residue. 2. Secure the bowl to the motor housing by placing the bowl on top and turning clockwise to lock into place. 7. To stop processing, release pressure on top cover. 8. Unplug the coffee grinder. 9. Wait until the blade has stopped rotating and remove top cover. 10. Unlock bowl by turning it counterclockwise. Remove bowl from the motor housing. 3. A scale is provided inside the bowl for the KitchenAid recommended amount of beans to grind for 4, 8, 10, and 12 cups of coffee. Fill the bowl to your desired cup size with 4 cups minimum or 12 cups maximum level. Various bean blends and bean sizes can cause differences in fill level and grind times. 4. Position the top cover over the bowl so that the lid's latch aligns with the motor housing base and the side guides fall into place. NOTE: Make sure both cover and bowl are in position; otherwise, the coffee grinder will not operate. 5. Plug power cord into electrical outlet. 6. Press down the top cover to start processing. For optimum grinding results, do not pulse the top cover. Continue grinding until all the beans are ground to the desired consistency or see the "Suggested Grinding Chart" in the "Grinding Tips" section for automatic drip coffee makers and French press machines. 11. Pour out ground coffee. 5
