INTRODUCTION
The next generation of coffee grinders has arrived to deliver the new
standard in home-ground coffee! The conical burrs grind the beans
with precise uniformity while maintaining the full flavour of the cof-
fee bean. Whether you're using a French Press, Auto Drip or Espresso

machine, you'll always start with the best, most precise ingredients.
This grinder is fully automated – just choose your grind setting and
number of cups, push Start, and the LCD with countdown timer
lets you know how soon you'll have your perfectly ground coffee!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove bean hopper lid.
2. Fill bean hopper, making sure that the lid closes securely.
Maximum capacity is 240g, be sure you have enough beans to
grind your desired amount of coffee.
3. Plug cord into outlet.
4. Select grind setting – turn the hopper to your desired grind
setting. The higher the number the coarser the grind. Use 1-6

5. Select cup setting – press the # of Cups Button repeatedly until
your desired number of cups is displayed on the LCD, from 1

A safety interlock system prevents the unit from operating unless
the hopper and grind chamber are properly in place.

and the unit will not work. The LCD will flash. To unclog, use
the scoop brush to clear out the chute of excess grounds.
Also note: If the grinder stops and displays HHH in the LCD
screen at any point, the motor has likely over-heated. Wait

HHH is no longer displayed, resume use.
