* please follow the instructions of your french press coffee maker (after pouring water over
the ground coffee, stir thoroughly to prevent the ground coffee from clogging)
** The fineness settings are approximate guidelines. When using dark, oily beans, use the
higher numbers of the recommended range; with light, dry beans, use the lowers numbers
in the range. Attention: for espresso pump machines: if your espresso brews too fast, try a
lower fineness setting. If your espresso brews too slowly, try a higher fineness setting than
the ones recommended above.
CLEANING
Always unplug your coffee grinder before cleaning.
• Remove the ground coffee container, its lid, and the bean container lid and
clean them in a warm water and mild liquid soap solution. Do not place these
items in the dishwasher.
• Remove ground coffee from the grinder spout (H)
with a household brush or
a small plastic tool.
• Empty the bean container. The clear part of the bean container can be wiped
on the inside and outside with a damp cloth.
• The base of the grinder can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Caution: Never immerse the grinder in water or any other liquid. Do not use
harsh or abrasive materials to clean the coffee grinder.
