TIP: Remove the handle, place your Grinder on a set of scales and zero. You can then weigh
out and grind the exact amount of beans, with no wastage. To keep your coffee fresh avoid
keeping coffee beans in your grinder; remove and store in an airtight container.
Use the Quick Start Grind Settings in the Table on the following page as a guide for rst use.
Please note these settings are only a guide and further adjustment may be required depending
on specic coffee / machine being used.
THE BURRS OF YOUR NEW GRINDER ARE MADE FROM HIGH QUALITY
STAINLESS STEEL, BUT OVER TIME THEY MAY WEAR. IF YOU NOTICE
A CHANGE IN GRINDING ACCURACY, WE RECOMMEND YOU REPEAT
THE STEPS IN FIRST USE – CALIBRATION PROCESS.
TIP: You may sometimes nd that coffee grinds will clump together or even shoot out of the
jar. This is caused by a build-up of static electricity when grinding. To remove the static, simply
tap the jar and grinder assembly against a work surface 3 or 4 times, until the static dissipates. If
the static still remains, clean the Jar with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Ensure the Jar is located
onto the Grinder Body.
Use a rotational motion to
help it locate.
Gently turn the Grind
Control Dial clockwise
until you feel resistance to
turning. The burrs are now
touching and you will not
be able to turn the Grind
Control Dial any further.
Important: Do NOT turn
the handle at this point. You
risk damaging the burrs.
Remove the Handle and
pour fresh, whole roasted
coffee beans into the
Grinder Body.
Turn the Grind Control Dial
anti-clockwise, until it clicks
into place; this separates
the Burrs to allow them to
rotate freely. The Grinder is
now calibrated to ‘0 Clicks’.
Now turn the Grind control
dial anti-clockwise 4 clicks.
Note: Dualit does not
recommend grinding
ner than click 4 or
coarser than click 40.
Replace the Handle and turn
it Clockwise to grind coffee
into the Jar.
FIRST USE
IT IS IMPORTANT TO SELECT THE CORRECT GRIND SIZE FOR YOUR
COFFEE BREWING APPLICATION. For rst use it is important to calibrate your
grinder. This ensures an accurate and repeatable grind size that helps make great coffee.
FIRST USE CALIBRATION PROCESS
Note: Empty your grinder of any coffee before calibration.
USING YOUR MANUAL GRINDER
1

CLEANING
After some use, you may nd that the individual click settings become less dened. Grinding
will release oils which will build up on the burrs. These oils can affect both the avour of your
ground coffee and your grinding performance. It is recommended to disassemble and clean the
parts of your grinder regularly.
TO DISASSEMBLE YOUR GRINDER FOR CLEANING:
CLEANING CONTINUED
All parts can be cleaned with a small brush (e.g. an old toothbrush – do not use a wire brush)
and warm soapy water. Do not submerge the Grinder, including the Grind Control Dial,
Handle or Grinder Body in water. Do not place any parts in a dishwasher.
WARNING: Burrs will have sharp edges.Take care when cleaning.
Clean all parts of excess oils and coffee grounds and make sure they are fully dried before
reassembly.
