g.  Pull out the adjusting knob and, while in the pulled position, place the #1 against the 

red arrow and release the knob. The knob will engage the internal gear. 

h.  Position the aluminum cover on the adjusting knob to fit in the groove, and tighten the 

center screw. 

i.  Your grinder should now be adjusted properly, and all settings should match the 

proper grinds. 

 

Testing the grind

: Place 10-15 beans in the hopper and grind on the #1 setting. The 

output must be pulverized (powder). 
 

Notes

: If on the #1 setting the coffee comes out slowly or in small balls, the setting is too 

close. Repeat the above procedure. If the grinding is still too slow, replace the grinding 
discs. 

 

6. 

Uneven Grinding or Excessive Dust Particles

a.  Indication of badly worn grinding discs. Replace the grinding discs as soon as 

possible. 

7. 

Coffee Grinds Very Slowly

, and the grinding housing heats up. 

a.  The grinding discs are worn out. Instead of grinding the coffee, they are chewing the 

beans. Replace the grinding to return the quality back into your grinder and prolong the 
life of the motor. 

8. 

Metal Noise After Stopping the Grinder

 on #1 Turkish setting: 

a.  The discs are not adjusted properly and are too close. Follow the Adjusting instructions 

in Paragraph #5 above. If you continue to use your machine with the grinding discs 
adjusted too close together so that they are touching, you will wear your discs down 
very quickly, and they will not be resharpenable. 

 

CAUTION: If coffee beans have fallen inside the grinder, you MUST clean out the base of 
the grinder to prevent future problems, including the possibility of fire

. You need the airflow 

to keep the motor cool. Accumulation of beans at the base can restrict airflow and overheat the 
motor and/or cause a fire. 

a. 

UNPLUG THE GRINDER

b.  Place the grinder on its back on the table. Make sure the grinder is forward enough so 

that the cable is not crimped and can hang freely. 

c.  Remove the 4 corner screws holding the base onto the grinder. Be sure to have a firm 

hold on the base so that it does not fall away from the machine. 

d.  Gently pull the base away from the housing, making sure not to pull out any of the 

wires from the base terminals. 

e.  Vacuum the fallen beans at the base. 
f.  Replace the screws to hold the base in place. 
g.  Stand the grinder upright, plug in, and test.
