INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting Oster™BVSTBMH Series Burr Mill coffee grinder. Only a
Oster™Burr Mill coffee grinder delivers better taste at a great value!
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from a person or pet becoming entangled in, or tripping over, a longer
cord.
2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised
in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord
must be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
4. 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.
5. You can customize the length of the power cord so that it is the exact
length you desire. To increase the length of the power cord: grasp the
power cord (not the power plug) and gently lift it out of the slot, then
pull it away from the grinder. To decrease the length of the power cord:
grasp the power cord (not the power plug), lift it out of the slot and wrap
into the base of the grinder. Lock the cord in the slot when finished.

HELPFUL GRINDING HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
You may customize the above bean quantity recommendations as you familiarize
yourself with your new Oster™Burr Mill coffee grinder, but always bear in mind the
following:
1. Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee
maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also,
the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired. If this happens, use less
coffee grounds or change the grind setting to medium or to whichever setting is
necessary to obtain the desired result.
2. Using coarser grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee
maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also,
the taste of the coffee might be weaker than desired. If this happens, use more
coffee grounds to obtain the desired result. For a regular or stronger cup of coffee,
adjust the grind setting to a medium to fine setting.
3. When a finer setting is required to brew espresso or cappuccino, please grind the
amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer.
•ForOSTER™Espresso products:
- Set the Burr Mill to Fine grind.
- For 2 oz. of espresso coffee, 2 tsp (0.6 tbsp) of fine grind are required. Set
the Timer to 3 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind the finer
grounds required.
- For 4 oz. of espresso coffee, 4 tsp (1.3 tbsp) of fine grind are required. Set
the Timer to 5 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind the finer
grounds required.
•Usingimpropermediumorcoarsecoffeegrindingsettingsmightaffectthetaste
of the brewed espresso coffee, because the optimum coffee extraction is not
achieved. If you like a strong cup of espresso, make sure the grind setting is fine.
4. When a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator or using
a French Press, grind the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product
manufacturer.
•OSTER™brand recommendation:
- Set the Burr Mill to a coarse grind setting.
- Set the timer to 8-10 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind
enough coffee for 12 cups of brewed coffee.
- Given that coarse grounds will take up more volume, always set the timer for 2-4
cups less than the amount desired.
NOTE: Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as you discover
which setting best meets your personal coffee-making preference. As in the
case of automatic drip coffee makers,
- Using an excessive amount of coffee grounds for brewing coffee in a percolator
might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket.
- Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee manually in a percolator,
or using a French Press, might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket
and/or the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired. If you want a
regular or weaker cup of coffee, adjust the grind setting to a medium to coarse
setting.
5. Use only coffee beans in this appliance.
6. The ground coffee chamber and its lid must always be in place when using this
appliance.
7. Do not use the finest setting when grinding coffee for your automatic drip
coffeemaker. The finer grounds could cause the coffee basket to overflow.
8. To avoid overheating the motor, do not grind more than 2 full whole bean
hoppers or 2 full 12-cup cycles without a break. Allow the motor to cool to room
temperature at least 2 minutes between cycles.
9. If the grinder stops working after running consecutive cycles, unplug the grinder
from the wall outlet and allow it to cool for at least an hour. Then plug grinder
back in and use as needed.
10. Flavored coffee beans will gum up the burrs and leave an oily residue when
stored in the whole bean hopper for long periods of time.

BLOCKAGE
11. Clean after every third use for best performance.
12. After using, open the grinder to the coarsest setting and run empty to clear the
grinding path.
NOTE: For optimum freshness of your coffee beans, do NOT store in the bean hopper
for extended periods of time.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Remember to always clean your Burr Mill before using it for the first time. Then, to
ensure optimal mill function and durability, clean it regularly following these simple
steps:
1. Always unplug your Burr Mill after use and before cleaning.
2. Wash the bean hopper and coffee chamber parts with warm soapy water. (Never
use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. UNIT IS NOT
DISHWASHER SAFE)
CAUTION! Never immerse the Burr Mill itself in water, in any other liquid or place
in the dishwasher.
3. Dry all pieces thoroughly.
4. Install the Bean Hopper onto the unit and turn clockwise (several rotations-will hear
clicking as unit gets tighter) until it stops with the grind size indicator on Fine.
5. Place chamber lid back on grinder chamber and then install into unit, tightly locking
into place.
NOTE: If all Bean Hopper and Grinding Chamber parts are not tightly in place correctly,
the safety switches within the machine will not allow the grinder to work. You
MUST have all parts in place to safely use the Burr Mill.
