Important Information � Please read the information below very carefully. It contains im portant tips for the use, the safety and the maintenance and care of this appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. • Use only with 120-Volt current. Use only on alternating current (AC). • Only clean the grinder housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth. • Do not use this grinder for anything other than its intended use (i.e. grinding whole roasted coffee beans).
Initial Operation Place the Maestro Grinder on a level surface. Insert the plug into a 120V AC outlet. Remove the lid from the hopper by lifting off. Pour the desired quantity of roasted whole coffee beans into the hopper up to a maximum of 8 oz. Replace the lid. Ensure the ground coffee bin is fully inserted. Setting the Grind Control Slowly rotate the bean hopper clockwise or counter clockwise to align the indicator on the bean hopper with the desired number setting on the grind scale.
Switch Operation The Maestro is equipped with a specially designed On/Off switch. You may rotate the switch clockwise or counter clockwise from any position without damaging it. The quantity of ground coffee you need depends on the type of bean, coarseness of the grind, brewing method and personal taste. With use, you will determine the amount of time it takes to grind the quantity of coffee you need.
Care and Cleaning Cleaning the Housing and Hoppers Switch the grinder off and remove the plug from the power supply. Remove any remaining beans from the bean hopper (it may be easiest to tip the grinder over and pour the beans into a bowl.). Remove the hopper by twisting it in a counterclockwise direction as far as it will turn, and then lift the bean hopper from the housing. Wash the hopper, hopper lid, and ground coffee bin in warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
Cleaning the Ring Burr Use the bristle brush (included with your grinder) to remove any loose coffee residue on the ring burr, the center cone burr and in the adjustment area. Vacuum or blow out the residual coffee. Wash the silicone seal in warm soapy water and dry. Replacing the Ring Burr Replace the ring burr by lining up the red tab on the ring burr with the red arrow on the adjustment ring, if it is not aligned rotate the adjustment ring fully counter clockwise.
Clean the Coffee-Dispensing Chute Remove the grounds bin. Using your bristle brush, clean out any coffee grounds that may be accumulating in the coffee-dispensing chute. Clean out any ground coffee that has fallen in the bin area. Replace the the grounds bin. Replacing the Bean Hopper To replace the bean hopper, line up the two tabs on the base of the hopper (with the small tab on the right side) with their respective slots in the top of the grinder housing and insert the hopper into the grinder.
