taking off parts, before removing coffee and before
cleaning.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse

Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
10. Before using, check hopper for presence of foreign objects.
11. Use this appliance to grind roasted coffee beans only.
Grinding other substances, such as nuts, spices or unroasted
beans, may dull the blade and cause poor grinding or injury.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove Bean Hopper lid.
2. Fill Bean Hopper to top, making sure that the lid closes
securely. [Max fill is 8 ounces (227 g)].
3. Plug Cord into outlet.
4. Set Grind Selector. Note: Use coarse grind for percolator/
French press, medium grind for automatic drip, and fine grind
for espresso.
5. Position Slide Dial to desired number of cups: 4 - 18. (590 ml
- 2.6 L) Take into account that, based on personal preference,
you can make your coffee stronger or weaker by adjusting
cup selection.
6. Press and release Power Bar to begin grinding.
Please note: A safety feature of the grinder does not allow it
to operate unless the hopper and grind chamber are properly
in place.
7. Grinding will automatically stop upon completion.
8. To manually stop the operation, slide the Slide Dial all the way
to the left to the “OFF” position and the unit will stop. To
restart, repeat steps 5 & 6 above.
9. Remove Grind Chamber, make coffee, and enjoy!
GRINDING TIMES:
Your Cuisinart Supreme Grind
TM
Automatic Burr Mill is fully
automatic. There are 6 settings per grind type, and the
grind chamber holds enough ground coffee for up to
32 cups (4.7 L). The unit is set for medium grind settings,
which takes approximately 40 seconds to grind coffee for
12 cups (1.8 L), and approximately 55 seconds 18 cups
(2.6 L).
When choosing fine settings, you may need to set the cup
selector at a higher number of cups to get the desired
amount of coffee, as fine grinds are very compact. The
opposite is true for coarse settings. You may need to set
the cup selector at a lower number of cups to get the
desired amount of coffee, as coarse grinds are very loose.
To determine the right grind consistencies and quantities,
experiment with different grinds and coffee types to suit
your taste.

CLEANING, STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE:
1. Be sure that grinder plug has been removed from outlet.
2. To remove the bean hopper, turn counterclockwise until it can
be lifted from the housing base. To reattach, align bean
hopper with opening on the housing base and turn clockwise.
The bean hopper will return to the Grind Selection position
when you hear a clicking sound.
3. Never immerse the grinder base unit in water or other liquid.
To clean, wipe with wet cloth and use cleaning brush to clean
grind release area.
4. Store excess cord by wrapping cord around the tabs provided
under the base of the unit.
5. Any other servicing of this product should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
