USING

USING THE ELECTRIC COFFEE AND SPICE GRINDER

During first use of the appliance, smoke and/or a slight odour may occur from the appliance because of the initial warming process of the materials. This is normal and will quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.

1. Place the appliance on a dry, flat surface.

2. Turn the lid counterclockwise and remove by lifting up.

3. Add the desired ingredients into the container without exceeding 50 grams.
   NOTE: Always use small pieces of spice, beans, or dried herbs. Do not grind anything liquid, gummy or oily. Never use it to chop ice cubes. Only grind dry, brittle foods.

4. Replace the lid onto the appliance and turn clockwise to lock it.

5. Plug the power cord into a standard 120 V AC wall outlet.

6. Press and hold the power button until the desired level of grinding is obtained:

   • For a coarse grind: continuously hold down the power button for 5-8 seconds
   • For a medium grind: continuously hold down the power button for 10-12 seconds
   • For a fine grind: continuously hold down the power button for 15-20 seconds Grinding times will vary by amount. Taste the result and adjust accordingly.

7. Once the desired consistency has been obtained, unplug the appliance.

8. Remove the lid and pour out the contents.

CAUTION:

• The appliance has a locking mechanism that prevents the appliance from operating and the blade from turning if the lid is not closed securely in place. Do not attempt operation without the lid.
• Do not remove the lid until the blade has completely stopped. The consistency can be checked through the clear lid.
• Do not operate the appliance for more than 1 minute continuously. Allow the appliance to rest 10 minutes between each use.

HELPFUL TIPS

• To preserve the flavor and aroma of whole coffee beans and spices, place them in an airtight container.
• To obtain the freshest and tastiest coffee, grind only the amount of coffee needed at the time.
• Residues left in the grinder can become stale and affect the flavor. To remove odors from the grinder, grind a tablespoon of baking soda and wipe the interior thoroughly.
