CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug power cord from power outlet before cleaning.
• Before cleaning, we recommend running the empty grinder
for 10 seconds to help clear beans/grounds from the burrs and
grinds chute.
• Allow parts to stop moving before cleaning the grinder.
Do not use the grinder without lid properly placed on load bin.
• Only clean the outside of the grinder with a damp cloth.
• If the grinder is used daily, the burrs should be cleaned at least
every three months using tablets (see Automatic Cleaning) or
with a stiff brush.
• To clean burrs, remove the burrs following the instructions in
the "Removing and Cleaning the Grinding Burrs" section.
• Do not immerse the grinder in water. Do NOT wash the burrs
with water.
• Using a stiff brush, gently brush coffee dust off the burrs and
replace burrs following the instructions in the "Removing and
Cleaning the Grinding Burrs" section.
• To clean the catch, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth.
Dry with a dry cloth after cleaning.
• Wipe grinder exterior and load bin with a soft, damp cloth.
CAUTION!
• Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or spray cleaner
chemicals to clean. These may damage the surface of the
appliance.
• Do not put any part of your grinder in the dishwasher.

AUTOMATIC CLEANING
• A fast way to clean your grinder is using grinder cleaning tablets
like Urnex Grindz™ grinder cleaning tablets. These are designed
to prevent clogging by freeing coffee particles stuck to the burrs
and absorbing/removing odors and coffee oil residue.
• To use cleaning tablets, make sure all beans are run through your
grinder by running it for 10-20 seconds. Use the cleaning tablet
instructions to place appropriate amount into grinder. Adjust the
grind setting to 11 and press the power button to run the grinder.
Grind all of the tablets into the catch. Once complete, we
recommend grinding approximately 30 g coffee to remove any
tablet residue. Discard the ground tablets/coffee from the catch
and clean.
CLEARING A JAMMED GRINDER
On occasion, Opus Conical Burr Grinder may become jammed
and stop grinding. When this occurs, the grinder will stop grinding
before it has finished all the coffee in the hopper and beep "SOS"
(save our ship).
Minor jams can be cleared as follows:
1. Check that the catch is empty. Rotate the grind adjustment ring
to setting 11.
2. Tap the grinder firmly on the side several times and shake.
3. Press the power button and continue to firmly tap the side of the
grinder for several seconds. If grinding resumes, the jam is cleared.
If not, proceed to the instructions for clearing a major jam.
Major jams can be cleared as follows:
1. Unplug the grinder.
2. Start by removing the load bin of the grinder. The load bin is
locked in place with a twist-lock mechanism; simply twist counter-
clockwise (to the left) to unlock it from the grinder, then lift away.
