Troubleshooting
The handle feels difficult to turn
Ensure the grind setting is not set too fine for the type of beans, or check for trapped bean fragments in the burr mechanism.
Inconsistent grind size
Verify that the selection collar is clicked firmly into one of the four pre-set positions rather than resting between settings.
Coffee not falling into the bottom chamber
Tap the unit lightly to dislodge any grounds stuck in the upper chamber or inspect the chute for clogs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the grinder is straightforward. Ensure the handle is securely attached to the shaft before adding beans to the hopper. Adjust the collar to your desired setting before pouring in beans to prevent jamming the mechanism.
For maintenance, it is recommended to disassemble the unit periodically. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and ensure the internal chambers are free of residual oils and coffee dust. Avoid using abrasive sponges, as these can scratch the transparent hopper. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
