Safety Precautions
Anytime you will be using an electrical appliance of any type, safety precautions should be
considered and followed at all times. This includes the precautions below:
1. Before using your new appliance, read all instructions and safety precautions.
2. Never immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water and do not place the appliance in the
dishwasher.
3. Always supervise children in the area of the appliance and do not allow children to operate it.
4. When the appliance is not in use, unplug it from the outlet. Unplug the appliance to clean,
remove parts, or put on parts.
5. If the appliance has a damaged cord or plug, DO NOT operate it. This could result in damage,
electric shock, fire, or other physical injury.
6. Never use parts or accessories not made for the appliance.
7. This appliance is not for outdoor use.
8. Use safety with the cord. It should not be allowed to lay on a hot surface, and it should not be
left hanging from a counter, shelf, or table.
9. Never use the appliance in any manner other than its intended use.
10. Do not place the appliance near or on a heated oven, an electric or gas burner, or any other
hot surface.
11. When disconnecting the appliance, remove plug from wall outlet by grasping the plug itself.
Do not yank out by the cord.
12. To extend the grinder’s lifespan and avoid motor damage, do not use for more than 30
seconds continuously. Most grinding tasks can be finished within seconds.
13. Do not put hands or kitchen implements near or in contact with moving parts.
14. Always check to ensure the grinder is clean and free of moving parts before each use.
15. Ashort power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord is at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
Polarized Plug
Your new coffee grinder includes a polarized plug. This means one prong of the plug is larger
than the other. This helps to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and physical injury as the
plug will only fit into the outlet in the proper manner. When plugging in the appliance, if the plug
does not fit, do not force it into place. Instead, reverse the plug and try again. Do not attempt
to modify the plug or the power outlet. If the plug does not fit after reversing, contact a licensed
electrician.

Coffee Beans
You will need to spend some time determining what type of grind you like for your coffee. For
reference, finely ground coffee exposes more surface to water and the flavor is extracted from
the grind more rapidly. Courser ground coffee exposes less surface to water and the flavor is not
removed so quickly. Some coffee makers have specific rules about what grind to use with them.
Be sure to consult the instruction manual for your coffee maker before use.
In order to keep coffee fresh, robust, and rich, do not grind more beans than you need at one
time. This will keep the grind from growing stale and less flavorful. A large pot coffee maker may
require up to two grinds.
Coffee beans keep best when stored in a dark airtight container in the freezer. They will last
up to two months when kept frozen. You may grind the beans directly from the freezer without
damage.
Spices
Your coffee grinder can also be used to create flavorful and fresh ground herbs and spices. You
can create your own spiced flavor by combining and grinding various herbs. Some of the spices
that will grind the best include peppercorns, allspice, coriander, mustard seed, and celery seed.
Freshly ground spices taste much different from prepackaged and sealed items.

Chopper Bowl
Replace the grinder bowl with a chopper bowl, your grinder can be used on materials that are
moist, but don’t contain excessive amount of liquid (the stainless steel removable bowls are not
leak proof), such as chocolate, candied ginger, ice, nuts, vegetable and fruit, peanuts, onions,
garlic and dried bread etc. However, extremely hard nuts or other items can damage the grinder.
Oily spices like cinnamon and cloves can discolor the lid; hard items like grains, rice, and rye
can pit and crack the lid, cause other damages and should be avoided.
Appliance Cleaning and Care
* Before cleaning, always unplug the grinder from the wall.
* Stainless steel bowl and clear plastic lid are dishwasher-safe on the top rack. However,
washing in hot soapy water is recommended. Rinse and dry after washing. Use care when
cleaning the blades as they are very sharp. Asmall, soft bristled brush can be used in order to
remove particles that have become stuck in the grinder.
* Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the grinder base. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
* DO NOT place any part of the coffee grinder base in the dishwasher and do not immerse any
part of it in water.
