ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage: 220-240 Volts A.C. only

Frequency: 50-60 Hz

Wattage: 220-240 Watts

NOTE: This Burr Grinder has a grounded

plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
the plug will t in an outlet only one way. If
the plug does not t in the outlet, contact
a qualied electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.

A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance.

• The extension cord should be a
grounding-type cord.

• The cord should be arranged so it
will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.

USING THE BURR GRINDER

NOTE: The bean hopper holds a maximum of 200 g (7 oz) of beans.

HELPFUL TIP: Because partially ground coffee beans may remain between the burrs

after the Burr Grinder is turned off, it may be easier to select a ner grind setting while
the Burr Grinder is running.

This Burr Grinder offers 15 different grind levels, available in half-step increments from
1 to 8. Select the grind by turning the grind control dial to the desired setting on the
grind level ring, as shown in this chart. With continued use, you will be able to rene
the setting to match your own tastes.
