CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning the Cutting Burrs If the mill is used frequently, the cutting burrs need to be cleaned every few weeks for best performance. Cleaning enables the burrs to achieve the finest, most consistent grinds possible - which is especially important when grinding coffee for espresso. Foreign objects - like pebbles or twigs - sometimes find their way into whole bean coffee. These objects may cause the mill to jam. If this happens, follow the burr-cleaning procedure to remove the foreign material. 1. Make sure the mill is switched off and unplugged. Remove the coffee bin and bean hopper from the mill. 2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the two faceplate screws counterclockwise until the faceplate assembly is free. (The faceplate screws have retaining clips that prevent them from being removed from the faceplate assembly.) Continued... 25

Cleaning the Cutting Burrs
If the mill is used frequently, the
cutting burrs need to be cleaned
every few weeks for best performance.
Cleaning enables the burrs to achieve
the finest, most consistent grinds
possible – which is especially important
when grinding coffee for espresso.
Foreign objects – like pebbles or twigs
– sometimes find their way into whole
bean coffee. These objects may cause
the mill to jam. If this happens, follow
the burr-cleaning procedure to remove
the foreign material.
1.
Make sure the mill is switched off
and unplugged. Remove the coffee
bin and bean hopper from the mill.
2.
Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn
the two faceplate screws counter-
clockwise until the faceplate
assembly is free. (The faceplate
screws have retaining clips that
prevent them from being removed
from the faceplate assembly.)
