Cleaning the Motor Housing
and Hoppers
Make sure the Burr Coffee Mill is
switched off and unplugged before
cleaning.
Do not immerse the motor housing
in water.
To avoid damage to the Burr Coffee
Mill, do not immerse the cutting
burrs, burr-shaft assembly, or
face-plate assembly in water. Keep
them dry at all times.
To avoid damaging the finish,
do not use abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads.
Wipe the motor housing and cord
with a clean damp cloth. Dry with a
soft cloth.
Wash the coffee bin, bean hopper,
and hopper lid in hot soapy water,
then rinse and dry.
The bean hopper, hopper lid, and
coffee bin can also be washed in the
top rack of a dishwasher.
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.
Make sure the mill is switched off and
unplugged. Remove the coffee bin
and bean hopper from the mill.
1.
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.)
Slowly slide the faceplate assembly
away from the motor housing. A
separate burr-shaft assembly on the
inside of the motor housing will
usually slide out with the faceplate
assembly. Place a hand under the
burr-shaft assembly to keep it from
falling as the faceplate assembly is
removed. If the burr-shaft assembly
does not slide out with the face-plate
assembly, tap to loosen and grasp the
center shaft of the burr-shaft assembly
and remove it from the housing.
