IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be taken, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking
off parts, and before cleaning.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse
cord, plug or grinder in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children, or individuals with certain disabilities.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized
Cuisinart service facility for examination, repair, or mechanical
or electrical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by 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 the 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.
12. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.
13. Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
14. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under
a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always
unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could
create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the
walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove bean hopper lid.
2. Fill bean hopper, making sure that the lid closes securely.
Maximum capacity is 16 oz (450 g); be sure you have enough
beans to grind your desired amount of coffee.
3. Plug cord into outlet.
4. Select grind setting – rotate the grind selector dial to choose
desired grind size. The higher the number, the coarser the
grind. Use 1–6 for espresso, 7–12 for auto drip, 13–18 for
French press. Your current selection will be displayed on the
LCD.
5. Select cup setting – press the CUPS button repeatedly until
your desired number of cups is displayed on the LCD, from 1 to
14 cups.
6. Place your preferred grounds container under grind outlet. (see
page 4 for different grounds collection recepticles).
NOTE: Use care when grinding into filters as some grinds may
escape to your counter. To help alleviate - we suggest always
using the grind chamber lid as a guard (see photo page 7)
except when using the HomeBarista™or other single serve
reusable capsule. See specific filter use directions on pages
7-8.
7. Press the Start/Stop button to begin grinding. A safety interlock
system prevents the unit from operating unless the hopper is
properly in place.
NOTE: If the grind chamber is overfilled, the chute can get
clogged and the unit will not work. The LCD will flash. To
unclog, first unplug your grinder and then use the scoop brush
to clear out the chute of excess grounds.
Also note: If the grinder stops and displays EE in the LCD
screen at any point, the motor has likely overheated. Unplug
the grinder and wait for it to cool off (up to 30 minutes); when
the EE is no longer displayed, resume use.
8. Grinding will automatically stop upon completion.
NOTE: To pause or cancel operation during use, see page 6.
9. Pull the grind chamber toward you or slide your preferred
grounds container out to remove from unit.
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.
INTRODUCTION
The next generation of coffee grinders has arrived to deliver the new
standard in home-ground coffee! The conical burr grinds the beans
with precise uniformity while maintaining the full flavor of the coffee
bean. Whether you’re using a French press, auto drip or espresso
machine, you’ll always start with the best, most precise grind. This
grinder is fully automated – just choose your number of cups and
grind setting, push Start, and the LCD with countdown timer lets
you know how soon you’ll have your perfectly ground coffee!
GETTING STARTED
When you open your new grinder, you will notice it must be
assembled before use.
Take all the parts out of the box and remove plastic and packaging.
1. Place bean hopper on top of unit making sure
it aligns correctly.
2. Remove lid from bean hopper and locate the lock/unlock knob
and rotate clockwise into lock position and
replace lid.
3. Place grind chamber lid on grind chamber and insert into unit
(as pictured on page 3).
4. Insert scoop brush into holder on the base of the unit. Your unit
is now ready to be used.

Grinding Into Filters
Paper Filters
1. Flip shelf up to locate the two sets of clips.
2. Slide filter into the clips.
3. Slide the grind chamber lid into grind outlet.
NOTE: For cone shaped filters (a), use top clips. For basket style
filters (b), use bottom clips.
TIP: When grinding over 10 cups of coffee into a paper filter, use
hands to support filter to avoid the weight of the grinds from pulling
the filter out of the clips.
To Pause or Cancel Grinding
1. To pause the grinding, press the Start/Stop button. The grinder
will stop and the countdown timer will flash. Press the Start/
Stop button again to resume.
2. To cancel the grinding, press and hold the Start/Stop button for
2–3 seconds.
NOTE: The unit will pause for up to 5 minutes before canceling
the grind.
Manual Grind
If you prefer, after selecting your grind setting, you have the option of
manually controlling how much coffee the unit will grind. To do so,
follow steps 1–4 on previous page. Then press and hold the manual
button until the desired amount of coffee has been ground. The LCD
will display M.
NOTE: To avoid overflow when using the manual feature, the grinder
will turn off automatically after approximately 1 minute.
Grinding Settings
When selecting your grind setting, remember that the higher the
number the coarser the grind. Use 1–6 for espresso, 7–12 for auto
drip, and 13–18 for French press.
NOTE: If you meet resistance when going from coarse to fine, a
bean may be stuck. Re-insert grounds container or filter, then simply
press the manual button while turning the grind dial towards fine.

cup to overflow. The recommended grind setting for auto drip
coffee makers is 7-12, depending on preference of coarseness.
NOTE: When using a single-serve filter-cup
other than a Cuisinart HomeBarista™Reusable Filter Cup, you
may need to hold the filter cup under the grinder spout to fill.
