BEFORE FIRST USE

Before first use, carefully unpack your CAPRESSO coffee grinder and remove all packaging materials.

•Wipe the base, lid, and bean container with a clean, damp cloth.

•Allow to dry completely before use.

•To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the removable parts during packaging, wash the ground coffee container (and lid) and the lid of the bean container with a warm water and mild liquid soap solution. Rinse and dry. Do not use harsh or abrasive agents to clean these parts.

Caution: Do not immerse grinder or the removable grinding wheel (K) in water. Caution: Do not place the ground coffee container, its lid, or the bean container lid in the dishwasher.

USING THE GRINDER

Caution: Always make sure that the ground coffee container lid (G) is properly in place. If the lid is not properly placed onto the ground coffee container (F), ground coffee can blow out of the ground coffee container (F) during grinding.

INITIAL USE - IMPORTANT

During manufacturing, the grinding wheels (K) are installed so that they touch initially. The grinder will not function properly while the wheels are touching each other. To avoid grinding with the wheels touching each other proceed as follows:

For first-time grinding: Check to make sure that the bean container (B) is empty, clean and dry, and free of any foreign objects.

Plug in the grinder. Set the fineness selector (C) to number "9." Fill the bean container with 3 to 4 tablespoons of coffee beans. Set the grind amount selector (I) to approximately number "4." Make sure the ground coffee container (F) with its lid (G) is in place. Push the on-button (J). Repeat the same procedure in a different fineness position (e.g. number "3"). You are now ready to begin using your grinder regularly.
