How to use

After grinding, switch off and unplug the unit before removing the grounds container for use or cleaning. Refer to the supplied manual for detailed safety and operating instructions.

Recommendations

For consistent results, grind in short pulses and check the particle size frequently; blade grinders produce a range of particle sizes, so adjust grinding time according to the brewing method. Clean removable parts regularly to prevent oil and residue build-up.
