CLEANING
Keeping your grinder clean is essential to achieve optimal taste results. Coffee beans and
spices contain oils that will collect in the grinder and quickly become stale. The stale oils
can contribute unwanted avors.
Be sure that grinder is unplugged before cleaning!
 Grinding bowl, grinding lid, and storage lid can be washed in mild detergent, or placed in
the top rack of the dishwasher.
 Use a damp cloth to wipe the base of the grinder. Never immerse the base into liquid.
 Base unit can be wiped down with a damp cloth. NEVER immerse base unit in water or
any other liquid!
