•Coffee Grinder - This unit is
intended for household use only.
Any required servicing other than
normal cleaning and general user
maintenance procedures should be
performed by an authorized service
facility (See Page 14).
•Voltage Source - The grinder
operates on 120 vac, 1.5 amp, 60Hz,
line voltage only. Using any other
source could result in damage to
the unit.
•Operating Time -The unitmotor
is thermally protected but use
should be limited to no more than
two successive grind cycles ("20
CUPS" setting) within a short period
of time. Additional grinds may be
performed at 10 minute intervals.
•Power Cord - A short power
supply cord is used on the coffee
grinder to reduce possible risks of
tripping over or becoming
entangled in a longer cord.
•Extension Cord - When an
extension cord is used, be sure to
select one with at least 16 gauge
wire. When connecting the cord
between the appliance and the
electrical outlet, be sure the cord is
arranged so it does not drape over
the counter top where it may be
pulled on by children or tripped
over by someone. Always use good
safety practices.
•Coffee Collector - When
grinding coffee, DO NOT allow the
coffee collector to overfill.
Overfilling can cause ground coffee
to back up into the grinding
mechanism and clog the unit.
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
5
Remove the coffee grinder from
the carton along with all packing
materials. Discard the packing
materials. The Use and Care
Booklet should be thoroughly read
before using the grinder. Store the
cleaning brush in a suitable location
for later use. Check the unit over
for damage that could have
occurred during shipment. If any
damage is found, place the unit
back in the carton and return it
immediately to the place of
purchase for replacement.

Setting Grind Adjustment
Before beginning to grind coffee for
the first time, take just a few
moments to become acquainted
with your new coffee grinder. This
may be a good time to read the
"COFFEE FUNDAMENTALS"
section on Page 12 of this booklet.
Be sure the coffee grinder is
unplugged for the following
procedures:
Step 1. Wipe the unit clean -
Before using the BUNN®Home
Coffee Grinder for the first time,
wipe any lint off all exposed surfaces
of the unit. Remove the hopper lid
and wipe all accessible surfaces with
a damp cloth. Remove the coffee
collector and wipe clean of lint.
When finished, reassemble the unit
and be sure the hopper is empty.
Step 2. Determine the proper
grind setting - The grinder has
been adjusted for “drip grind” at
the factory. To change, remove the
hopper lid and note the setting of
the arrow on the top of the Grind
Adjust Knob inside the hopper.
Note the raised dots at the base of
the knob. Turning the indicating
arrowcounter-clockwise toward the
larger dots results in a coarser grind
and turning the knob clockwise
toward the smaller dots results in a
finer grind (Refer to the illustration
below). The knob can always be
returned to any previous grind
position later for repeatable quality
grind results. For safety reasons, the
grind setting should only be changed
when the hopper is empty with
power off.

WARNING
DO NOT reach below the GRIND
ADJUST knob while the unit is
running.
Step 3. Load hopper - Pour coffee
beans into the hopper and fill to the
desired level (See illustration
below). One of two approaches may
be used: (a) pre-weigh the beans for
a desired amount of fresh coffee to
be ground or (b) fill the hopper up
to its capacity (slightly over one
pound of coffee beans). With either
method, be sure to replace the
hopper lid to maintain coffee
freshness. You are now nearly ready
to grind. For a further detailed
explanation of the two grinding
methods, refer to the next section
at the top of Page 8.
Step 4. Observe the Operating
Knob - Before grinding your first
coffee, take a moment and become
familiar with the function of the
Operating Knob. This knob is
located on the front of the coffee
grinder (See illustration below).
Notice the dial is divided into
increments ranging between Off
and 20 cups. Each incremental
mark (labeled in cups of coffee) is
intended as a general setting. The
actual coffee output varies with the
blend of coffee beans and the grind
setting for the same amount
(weight) of coffee. Finer grinds
require higher cup settings while
coarser grinds use lower cup
settings. Generally, an “8 CUPS"
setting grinds enough for eight cups
of coffee at a drip grind setting.

TRACK GUIDE
GENERAL - Now that you have read
the previous paragraph, you are
ready to begin grinding coffee the
way you like. After a little time and
effort, you will discover the
correct grind to produce your
perfect cup of coffee. Proceed as
outlined below.
CAUTION
During operation, if the motor
should stall, turn OPERATING
Knob to OFF immediately.
Step 1. Connect unit to power -
Connect the power cord of the
coffee grinder to a standard
grounded (3-pronged) 120 vac.
outlet.
Step 2. Insert coffee collector -
Make sure the ground coffee
collector is empty and inserted into
its proper position before starting
GRINDING FRESH COFFEE
(See illustration below). Unless the
coffee collector is correctly placed
on the collector platform track
and pushed all the way to the
back, the coffee grinder will not
operate.
Step 3. Set OPERATING Knob -
There are two basic methods for
setting the OPERATING Knob
whichis determined by the amount
of beans that are placed in the
hopper.
(Method 1) Manual grind - If a
measured amount of coffee beans
intended for immediate use is
poured into the hopper, then
simplyturn theOPERATING Knob
to a high enough setting to
completely grind all of the beans.
When the grind is complete, as
noted by the change in sound
(tone) of the coffee grinder motor,

turn the OPERATING Knob to OFF.
The ground coffee is ready for
brewing. Empty the coffee collector
into the brewing filter.
(Method 2) Automatic Grind - If
the hopper has sufficient amount
of coffee beans, the OPERATING
Knob can be set to automatically
grind the desired amount of coffee
for brewing. To determine the
correct grind setting for your taste,
some experimenting may be
required. Begin by setting the
OPERATING Knob for “8 CUPS”.
If this proves to be too weak,
increase the setting (toward 12) for
next grind. Conversely, if the coffee
is too strong, reduce the setting
(toward 4). When the grind is
finished, the unit automatically
shuts off. Once the right setting is
obtained, coffee results are very
repeatable.
Many factors affect the output of
ground coffee; the bean itself, the
type of roast, and the size of the
grind. A change in humidity also
affects the output. Since humid
conditions swell the coffee bean,
less weight is ground. You should
experiment with different settings
and grinds until the results are
perfected to your taste.
Chaff in coffee - Chaff is the
parchment or hull portion of the
coffee bean found in the cavity
which is released during the
grinding process (See illustration
below). Chaff seen in the ground
coffee does not have any adverse
effectson coffee flavor. Chaff results
from small amounts of the coffee
bean hull still on the bean when
ground. Some coffee beans yield a
higher level of chaff than others.

Using Cleaning Brush
PRECAUTIONS - Your coffee
grinder should be periodically
cleaned.
NOTE
Be sure to heed all the warnings
located within the grinder.
❖Be sure to unplug the unit before
attempting any cleaning.
❖Always empty beans from
hopper before beginning any
maintenance or routine cleaning
procedures. Simply remove the
hopper lid and turn the unit upside
down.
❖Do not immerse grinder in water.
The hopper lid and coffee collector
may be washed in a normal fashion.
The exterior body of the unit should
be wiped down with a damp, not
soaking wet, cleaning cloth only.
INTERIOR CLEANING - Clean the
interior as follows;
Step 1. Unplug grinder - Always
be certain to unplug the unit before
performing the following steps.
Step 2. Remove the hopper lid -
Reach deep into the hopper, past
the Grind Adjust Knob to remove
the grind shield. This shield is
removed by sliding straight up .
Step 3. Remove loose particles
with brush - With the cleaning
brush provided, brush thoroughly
around the grinding area.
Step 4. Wipe exposed surfaces -
Use a mild detergent and water
solution on a damp cloth (not
soaking wet), to wipe all exposed
surfaces. This cleans and also
reduces static electricity.
