SMALL QUANTITY FINE GRINDING ATTACHMENT
This unique spice attachment allows you to fine grind small amounts of dried herbs and spices effectively so that you can grind what you need as you need it. It
simply reduces the capacity of the bowl so that even the smallest quantities of spices are kept in contact with the blades and therefore effectively ground.
IMPORTANT: Only use the attachment for small quantities (under 5 grams). Do not fill above the level of the blades when using the attachment. Larger quantities
can be done without the attachment or in two or more batches. Always roughly grind without the attachment first.
1. Place the spices into the grinding bowl do not fill above the level of the blades.
2. Place the lid onto the grinder and grind as usual. If the desired result is achieved then remove the ground spice and use as required.
3. If you require a finer grind then leave the required quantity in the grinding bowl ensuring this is not more than 5 grams and not above the level of the blades.
IMPORTANT: Do not over fill. Overfilling could cause serious damage to your grinder.
4. Place the attachment into the bowl.
5. Place the lid over the attachment and ensure that the lid is properly fitted otherwise the appliance will not function due to a safety feature.
6. Press the Pulse button on the front of your grinder to grind the chosen food stuff.
NOTE: Spices should be in small manageable pieces and ground roughly by pulsing a few times before adding the attachment and grinding to powder.
7. Always remove and clean the bowl, lid and spice attachment immediately after use to help avoid staining and lingering flavours and smells.
