HARIO MSGN-2 Smart G Manual Coffee Grinder

Thank you for purchasing this HARIO product. Please be sure to read this instruction manual thoroughly to use this product correctly. After reading it, store it in a safe place for future reference.

Material Guide

Using the Mill

Put in a small amount of coffee beans then adjust the coarseness of the grind as you grind them. See the next section, “Adjusting the Size of the Coffee Grounds”, for more information.
A single cup of coffee (120mL) requires about 10 to 12g of coffee beans. Put 1 or 2 cups worth of coffee beans into the hopper, put on the lid and attach the handle.
Hold the grinder firmly and rotate the handle clockwise to grind the coffee beans.

Never turn the handle counterclockwise (left), as doing so will damage the burr.

Adjusting the Size of Coffee Grounds

Firmly hold onto the handle and main unit as you turn the grind adjustment knob. Make sure that the handle is attached before turning the adjustment knob.
Rotate to the right (clockwise) for finer grounds or to the left (counterclockwise) for coarser grounds.

Guidelines for Adjusting Grind Size

Turn the grind size adjustment knob clockwise until it cannot be turned any further. After that, turn the knob counterclockwise until it “clicks” once.
Rotate the grind adjustment knob counterclockwise. Count each “click” sound.

The coffee grind size chart is for reference only. You might use different settings according to your preference.

Choosing the Correct Coarseness

The recommended coarseness may differ depending on the type of equipment used. See the instruction manual of your coffee-making equipment for more details.
Always use fresh coffee beans.

Precautions for Use

Always turn the handle clockwise. Never spin the handle or turn it counterclockwise, as doing so will damage the burr.
Do not allow children to use this product. Do not use near children, and store out of reach of children.
Do not wash in a dishwasher, or wash using household bleach.
Do not apply oil for maintenance.
Wash the product before using for the first time.
Turning the grind adjustment nut too far in the clockwise direction causes the ceramic burrs to grind together, which may result in a malfunction.
Do not force the handle around if it is difficult to move, as doing so may damage various parts of the product.
Small coffee bean fragments may get into the hopper ridges or gaps, preventing coffee beans from dropping smoothly resulting in the handle spinning freely.
Gently tap the coffee mill occasionally during use.
The burrs may become blunt due to prolonged use. Replace the coffee mill when the amount of coffee beans that can be ground reduces significantly.
Do not use to grind anything other than coffee beans. Doing so may damage the product.
Do not insert your fingers into the coffee grinder while rotating the handle.
Do not allow the ceramic burr to be hit by hard material, or allow the product to be dropped. Doing so may cause the burr to chip or crack.
Do not use hard or pointed objects to strike or scratch the hopper and bottle.
Follow local rules on garbage disposal when disposing of this product.

Product Care
The burr section can be disassembled for washing. Be careful not to lose any parts when disassembling.
Disassembling the Burr

Turn the grind adjustment knob counterclockwise to remove it.
Make sure that the handle is attached when turning the grind adjustment knob.
Remove the inner & outer burr. Once you remove the outer burr stopper, the outer burr can be detached. As shown in the figure, remove it by pulling it out with both hands.
The burr may be coated in coffee oil. Soak the burr in diluted neutral detergent and then thoroughly rinse. Allow it to dry completely after washing.
