INTRODUCTION

By purchasing whole coffee beans, dry herbs, and spices and storing them properly at home you can maximize the potential flavor. Grinding right before brewing coffee or cooking with herbs and spices results in best taste.
The Krups SILENT VORTEX grinder is designed with Vortex Spin Tech to quickly and evenly grind ingredients in a silent way

OPERATION

• Before using the appliance for the first time, rinse and dry the lids (B and D) and the grinding bowl (E) thoroughly.

• Place the motor unit (C) on a flat, stable work surface then plug in your appliance.

• Fill the grinding bowl with whole bean coffee, spices, or dry herbs.
  Please refer the markings minimum 3 cups or up to 12 cups of the grinding bowl to put the ingredients. (fig.1)
  

• Secure the grinding bowl on the grinder base. (fig.2)
  

• Plug in the grinder. To start grinding, press the push activation power button (fig.3)
  

• The power will only stay on as long as the button is pressed. To pulse, push and release the power button.

• When grinding is complete, unplug the unit.• Remove grinding bowl from base. Pour ingredients out as needed or secure with storage lid. (fig.4-5)
  

• Do not operate the appliance for more than 30 seconds at a time. Leave the appliance to cool down for one minute before switching it on again.

Caution
Wait until the blades have completely stopped before removing lid. The grinder should be unplugged before removing the lid.

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 flavors.

Be sure that grinder is unplugged before cleaning! Handle the blades with extreme care as they are very sharp!

• Grinding bowl, grinding lid, and storage lid can be washed in mild detergent then rinsed, or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher.
• Base unit can be wiped down with a damp cloth. NEVER immerse base unit in water or any other liquid!

HERBS AND SPICES GRINDING GUIDE

Krups recommends grinding at least 2 tablespoon of dry herbs and spices between 20-30 seconds for best results. Try pulsing for better control on level of fineness. Some of the most popular herbs and spices are whole peppercorn, dry rosemary, dry thyme, dry sage, flax seed, dry red pepper flakes, cumin, and dry oregano. Break up large ingredients, such as cinnamon sticks, prior to grinding. For grinding nuts, pulse for best results.

Caution
Very dense, wet and oily herbs and spices are NOT recommended to use with this grinder.
