FAQs
Can I wash the grinding bowl in a dishwasher?
It is recommended to clean the grinding bowl by hand with a soft cloth to preserve the finish and integrity of the internal blades.
What is the primary difference between the 'on' and 'pulse' modes?
The 'on' mode is designed for continuous grinding to achieve a fine powder, while the 'pulse' mode allows for short bursts of power for better control over texture.
Is the grinder suitable for wet ingredients?
This model is designed specifically for dry spices and coffee beans. Do not use for liquid pastes or wet ingredients to avoid damage to the motor.
What should I do if the lid feels loose?
Check the interlock mechanism for any debris and ensure the lid is seated squarely on the bowl; if it does not click into place, do not operate the device.
How long can I run the grinder continuously?
While it is a professional unit, avoid running the motor for more than 60 seconds at a time to prevent overheating.
What is the maximum capacity of the grinding bowl?
Do not exceed the designated fill line inside the bowl, as overfilling will impede the high-speed blade circulation.
Troubleshooting
The grinder will not start when the switch is flipped.
Ensure the lid is fully locked into the safety interlock position, as the motor will not engage otherwise.
Motor slows down or produces a burning smell.
The unit may be overloaded. Turn off immediately, remove excess ingredients, and allow the motor to cool down for several minutes.
Uneven grind consistency.
Ensure you are using the pulse function for better control; if the bowl is overfilled, the ingredients cannot circulate properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the grinder, place it on a level, dry surface, ensuring the ventilation ports are not blocked. Before first use, wipe the grinding bowl with a damp, food-safe cloth. To operate, add ingredients to the bowl, secure the lid until the interlock engages, and select either the pulse or continuous switch. After use, ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. Clean the stainless steel bowl with a soft brush or cloth; do not submerge the motor base in water. Periodically check the blades for debris buildup to maintain consistent grind performance.
