OPERATION
INITIAL SETUP
1. Remove the contents from the packaging and hand-wash the hopper lid (1), bean hopper (2), and grounds bin (8) in
warm, soapy water. Let air dry. Do not wash the ring burr (5) in water or it will rust.
2. To install the hopper, align the silver grind setting indicator (3) with the triangle near grind setting 40 (6). Press the
hopper down and twist clockwise into place. The grinder will not start without the hopper installed.*
3. To install the on/off knob (9), align it with the stem of the switch on the right side of the unit and press into place.
Use either the on/off knob or the pulse button (7) to begin grinding.
* If there is difculty in installing the hopper: Ensure that the ring burr (5) is fully seated in place. The grind adjustment ring
(12) must be rotated fully counterclockwise using the grind adjustment tabs (13) for the hopper to be installed.

ENCORE OPERATIONS MANUAL
ADJUSTING THE GRIND SIZE
The grind settings on the Encore go from very coarse (grind setting 40) to very ne (grind setting 1). To adjust the grind
size, rotate the hopper so that the silver grind setting indicator on the hopper is aligned with the desired grind setting. When
adjusting the grind setting, the grinder must be running or completely empty of beans to prevent damage to the grinder.
Below are suggested grind setting starting points to use for common brew methods. The grind size will need to be adjusted
coarser or ner based on variables such as the recipe used, roast level, type of coffee, and taste preference.
The exact grind setting needed in each situation can only be found through experimentation and the development of one’s
palate. Learn more at baratza.com

GRINDING OPERATION
The Encore can be operated through two different methods: the On/Off switch and the pulse button.
ON/OFF SWITCH OPERATION
Rotate the On/Off switch on the side of the grinder in any direction to the “on” position to start grinding, and to the “off”
position to stop.
Do not leave the grinder unattended while grinding. If the ground coffee surpasses the maximum ll line on the grounds bin,
the grinder may become clogged and damaged as a result.
PULSE BUTTON OPERATION
To grind small amounts of coffee, or to have more precise control in how much coffee is ground, the pulse button on the
front of the grinder can be used. The grinder will run for as long as the button is held down, and will stop when the button is
released.
Note: Partially ground coffee beans may remain between the burrs after the grinder is turned
off. When making ANY grind adjustments, the grinder must be running.

CARE & CLEANING
REMOVING THE HOPPER
Remove all coffee beans from the hopper and grind any remaining beans through using either the On/Off switch or
the pulse button. Unplug the grinder from the power outlet before removing the hopper. Rotate the hopper completely
counterclockwise so that the grind setting indicator is aligned with the triangle near grind setting 40. Lift the hopper off of the
grinder.
REMOVING THE RING BURR
Ensure that the grind adjustment ring is turned fully counter-clockwise. Use the grind adjustment tabs to turn the adjustment
ring. The red indicator on the burr lifting tabs should be aligned with the red indicator on the grind adjustment ring. The ring
burr can be removed by lifting straight up while gripping the ring burr lifting tabs. Ensure that the hopper gasket is not lost in
the process.
CLEANING THE GROUNDS BIN, HOPPER & BURRS
Wash the grounds bin, hopper, hopper lid, and hopper gasket in warm, soapy water. Rinse and let air dry. Do not allow the ring
burr to get wet, otherwise it will rust.
If the grinder is used daily, the burrs should be brushed off regularly (about once a month) with the included brush. If dark,
oily coffee or avored coffee is used, grinder cleaning tablets may need to be used in order to absorb the oils and scent
left behind by the coffee. If oil is left to build up in the grinder, it may become clogged, resulting in damage to the grinder.
Please follow manufacturer recommendations for grinder cleaning tablet use. Do not grind any substance other than grinder
cleaning tablets to clean the internals of the grinder.
Caution: Do not put the hopper, hopper lid or grounds bin in the dishwasher. Hand wash only. Do
not immerse the grinder housing in water. Do NOT wash the burrs with water, or they will rust.

ENCORE OPERATIONS MANUAL
REINSTALLING THE RING BURR AND HOPPER
1. Grip the grind adjustment tabs to ensure that the grind adjustment ring is rotated fully counterclockwise.
2. Insert the ring burr with the red burr lifting tab aligned with the red indicator on the grind adjustment ring. These red
indicators should be close to grind setting 30.
3. Ensure that the ring burr is seated fully in place, and that the hopper gasket is installed on top with the thicker side
sitting within the plastic rim of the ring burr.
4. Align the grind setting indicator on the hopper with the triangle near grind setting 40. Push the hopper down and
rotate it clockwise until it starts to click.
A CLOGGED GRINDER
If coffee is not falling into the grounds bin while grinding, and all parts are properly installed, a clog may be preventing the
coffee from moving through the grinder. This can happen if coffee is allowed to mound up past the maximum ll line, or if
dark, oily coffee or avored coffee is used often without cleaning the grinder. Ground coffee can stick to built-up oils in the
grinder and cause a clog to form. Regular cleaning and proper use can prevent a clogged grinder.
If the grinder does become clogged, please visit baratza.com/troubleshooting to nd detailed resources on unclogging the
grinder.
