Tips and Tricks

  • To prevent the freshly ground coffee from losing its flavor, we recommend grinding only as much as you need immediately.
  • To ensure optimal flavor, do not operate the appliance for more than about 2 minutes at a time. Then allow the coffee grinder to cool down for about 3 minutes.
  • Empty the ground coffee container in time to prevent it from becoming overfilled and blocking the grinding mechanism.
  • The appliance is equipped with rubber feet. Today’s furniture is coated with a variety of paint and plastics and treated with a number of care products. It cannot be completely ruled out that some of these materials may contain components that can soften the rubber feet. If necessary, place the appliance on a skid-proof mat.

Cleaning and Care

  • Always pull the plug before cleaning and let the coffee grinder cool down.
  • To remove the coffee bean container loosen the lock by turning the handle in the direction of the arrow UNLOCK.
  • Empty the coffee bean container if necessary. We recommend to only brushing the coffee bean container for cleaning.
  • You can clean the ground coffee container and lid, the lid of the coffee bean container as well as the collecting tray with warm water and a mild dish detergent. Dry off all parts.
  • Please clean the casing with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
  • You can remove the grinding ring for easier cleaning. Remove the coffee bean container and fold up the metal holder. Use it to turn the ring counterclockwise until it stops. You can now lift it out.
  • Clean both ring and grinding cone with the brush included with the appliance.
  • Insert the grinding ring again and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place.
  • At regular intervals and when not in use for a long time, the grinder should be thoroughly cleaned. To do this, grind some grains of uncooked rice. This dissolves residues and oils inside the grinder. Rice dust remaining in the coffee grinder is neutral in taste and does not affect the coffee enjoyment.
  • Do not immerse the coffee grinder in water or other liquids. Do not clean it in the dishwasher.
