Maintenance Tips

• Clean grind chamber daily using the built-in cleaning lever to remove retained grounds and prevent stale coffee buildup in the burr area.
• Brush and vacuum burrs and chute regularly to eliminate fine coffee dust that can affect grind consistency and motor load.
• Empty hopper frequently and wipe interior with a dry cloth to prevent oil buildup and moisture contamination.
• Do not use water or liquid cleaners inside the grinder—moisture can damage burrs, motor components, and electrical systems.
• Perform periodic deep cleaning by removing chute and accessible burr components to clear compacted coffee oils.
• Inspect burrs for wear; replace when grind becomes uneven, slower, or noticeably inconsistent.
• Keep discharge chute clean to prevent clogging and reduce mess during high-volume grinding.
• Ensure hopper is properly seated after cleaning to maintain smooth bean flow into the burrs.
• Check bag switch operation regularly to ensure safe start/stop function and prevent accidental activation.
• Follow a routine maintenance schedule (weekly in busy environments, monthly in low-use settings) to extend grinder lifespan and maintain performance.
