North American models with a grounded plug

POLARIZED PLUG

This grinder has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qu- alified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This grinder is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the grinder;
2. If the grinder is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type cord; and.
3. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Before First Use

Remove Packaging
Before first use, check the product for any transport damage. Remove all packing material and any stickers from product.

Position Grinder
Place the grinder on a flat, stable surface. This grinder is not suitable for installation in a cabinet or for outside use.

Wash & Dry All Accessories

NOTE

1. Do not immerse base, plug, or cord in water or other liquid.
2. Transparent Lid and 2-in-1 Brush & Scoop are Dishwasher Safe.
3. Make sure the transparent lid and grinding bowl must be wiped dry after cleaning, otherwise they would probably damage the grinder and affect your coffee.

NOTE

As our coffee grinder is equipped with a UL plug and can wo-rk normally only when connected to a voltage of 100-120V, to prevent burning out, do not connect the coffee grinder with any improper power supply(If the coffee grinder is not connected to a voltage of 100-120V, you have to make sure an adapter is being used, otherwise it will not function no-rmally or even could be burnt out).

The Tips For Perfect Powder

1. Element 1: Beans or Spices

2. Choose suitable coffee beans according to different coffee types. We recommend medium or dark roasted beans for making espresso, and medium roasted beans for making americano.

3. Bad beans will not only affect your grinding results but also ruin your final coffee. There are many types of beans on the market. To ensure best grinding results, high quality beans are recommended.

4. Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time due to use freshly roasted coffee beans with a ‘roasted on’ date to maximize flavor, not a use-by or best before date.

5. Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry place. Vacuum seal if possible. Do not store beans in the bean hopper. Place them back in an airtight container. If you buy large portions of beans, separate them into one or two week portions and store them in airtight containers. Preserve freshness by minimizing exposure to air, light, and moisture.

6. This grinder can be used only for grinding dry, fragile foods. Items that are too hard, too long, moist, or sticky, such as ginger, chocolate, sesame, oily spices, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, are not suitable for this grinder. Trying to grind these items will possibly damage the grinder.

7. Grinding peppercorns, herbs, or spices can produce strong aromas and flavors, which will affect the flavor of your subseq-uently ground coffee. If you plan to grind those items rich in flavor, you may need to purchase another grinder.

8. Element 2: Grinding Size

9. Optimal grind size depends on many factors including bre-wing method, roast darkness, bean type and freshness, and more. Experiment with different grinding time to achieve the brew that best suits your taste.

10. You may need to vary the grind size when using different coffee beans and depending on bean freshness. Adjust amount of coffee beans and grinding time to suit your own personal taste. You can refer to the following table:
    

11. Shorter grinding time results in coarser grinds. Longer grinding times result in finer grinds, but can overheat the powder and valuable coffee flavors can be lost.

NOTE

• If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter and cause water to overflow.
• If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too qui-ckly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted.

1. The grinder will not operate if the transparent lid is not properly locked.
2. Do not remove lid until blades come to a complete stop.
3. The maximum capacity of coffee beans that can be loaded into the grinder shall not exceed 60 grams.
4. It is recommended not to pour too many beans into the bean hopper at once. Overfilling can cause the grinder to overheat and malfunction.

Operation Guide

Grinding Coffee Beans

NOTE

A single time of continuous grinding shall not exceed 40 seconds, because the longer the grinder works, the easier it will heat up, which will indirectly cause the ground item to relea-se aroma in advance due to the heat. Grinding coffee beans past the instructed time limit will not only affect the taste of the coffee but also possibly damage the grinding motor due to overheating.

Grinding Nuts or Spices

1. The operation steps are the same as the above “6.1 Grinding Coffee Beans”.
2. For the selection and notes of grinding items, refer to “Element 1: Beans or Spices”, page 12.
3. Ensure the grinder is always clean or use a second grinder if you grind both spices and coffee regularly.

Overheat Protection

To protect its motor and increase its lifespan, the grinder will automatically shut off due to overheating after continuous operation for over 40 seconds each time.
This cooling-off period protects your ground coffee from becoming overheated before it’s brewed. Wait 3 minutes until the grinder has cooled sufficiently before reuse.

 Cleaning & Maintenance

Before Use

1. This grinder can be used only for grinding dry, fragile foods. Items that are too hard, too long, moist, or sticky, such as ginger, chocolate, sesame, oily spices, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, are not suitable for this grinder. Trying to grind these items will possibly damage the grinder.
2. Grinding peppercorns, herbs, or spices can produce strong aromas and flavors, which will affect the flavor of your subsequent ground coffee. If you plan to grind those items rich in flavor, you may need to purchase another grinder.
3. Choose appropriate coffee beans to suit your brewing method. We recommend medium or dark roasted beans for mak-ing espresso, and medium roasted beans for making americano.
4. Adjust grinding time according to your brewing method. We recommend grinding approx. 25 seconds for espresso, approx. 20 seconds for mocha coffee, approx. 15 seconds for drip/pour-over coffee, and approx. 10 seconds for French press.
5. The maximum capacity of coffee beans that can be loaded into the grinder shall not exceed 60 grams.
6. A single time of continuous grinding shall not exceed 40 seconds, because the longer the grinder works, the easier it will heat up, which will indirectly cause the ground item to release aromas in advance due to the heat. Grinding coffee beans past the instructed time limit will not only affect the taste of the coffee but also possibly damage the grinding motor due to overheating.

In Use

1. This grinder has only one ON/OFF button, keep pressing the button for grinding.
2. During grinding, you need to waggle the grinder to make the grinds more evenly spread.
3. During grinding, you can see through the transparent lid to monitor the grinding process.
4. single time of continuous grinding shall not exceed 40 seconds, because the longer the grinder works, the easier it will heat up, which will indirectly cause the ground item to release aroma in advance due to the heat. Grinding coffee beans past the instructed time limit will not only affect the taste of the coffee but also possibly damage the grinding motor due to overheating.

After Use
Please strictly follow the instructions and requirements below to clean the grinder, otherwise, the flavors of your coffee will be affected or the lifespan of the grinder will be shortened.
