14 4. Place the hopper lid onto the hopper . 5. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. The tie provided on the power cord can be used to bundle any excess cord. 6. Select the grind by turning the grind control dial to the desired setting on the grind level ring.

18 7. Re-attach the grind control dial, making certain the dial indicator points to grind level “8”. NOTE: If the coffee mill produces a grating or “rubbing” sound during use, the burrs have been improperly adjusted. Damage to the burrs will result.
F EA TURES AND O PERA TION 19 Continued… F or standard drip-process coffee, a good starting point is to use 1 ounce of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water as measured with the carafe (a carafe “cup” is about 4 1 ⁄ 4 ounces).
20 5 Clean the coffee bin and cutting burrs frequently . 3 Ground coffee loses flavor and aroma very quickly . For the best results, grind only as much as you intend to immediately use. 4 To retain freshness, coffee beans should be stored in an airtight container and kept in a cool, dark place.
F EA TURES AND O PERA TION 21 Continued… The flavor of coffee depends on a variety of factors, including the quality , freshness, and roast of the beans, the purity of the brew water , the cleanliness of the brewing equipment, and the brewing temperature.
22 Coffee grind quality is directly related to the type of grinder used. High speed grinders with small burr sets are usually not able to produce the fineness or consistency required for the best espresso. They also excessively heat the beans while grinding, resulting in lost flavor and aroma.
C ARE AND C LEANING P RO L INE ™ S ERIES CARE AND CLEANING 23 Cleaning the Housing & Hoppers ......24 Cutting burrs Cleaning .......................................25 Adjusting for Wear ........................28 Replacing.......................
24 CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning the Motor Housing and Hoppers • Make sure the coffee mill is switched off and unplugged before cleaning. • Do not immerse the motor housing in water . • Never immerse the cutting burrs, burr -shaft assembly , or face-plate assembly in water .
C ARE AND C LEANING 25 Cleaning the Cutting Burrs If the mill is used frequently , the cutting burrs need to be cleaned every few weeks for best performance. Cleaning enables the burrs to achieve the finest, most consistent grinds possible – which is especially important when grinding coffee for espresso.
3. Carefully slide the faceplate assembly away from the motor housing. A separate burr -shaft assembly on the inside of the motor housing will usually slide out with the face plate assembly . Place a hand under the burr -shaft assembly to prevent it from falling as the faceplate assembly is removed.
27 5. After cleaning, tilt the grinder backward so the front of the motor housing faces upward. 6. W ith the corkscrew-shaped auger shaft facing into the motor housing, insert the burr -shaft assembly into the grinder . Keep the burr -shaft assembly level, so the tip of the auger shaft will line up with the small socket in the motor housing.
28 8. Place the faceplate assembly onto the motor housing. Make sure the numbers on grind level ring are positioned across the top of the assembly . Using your fingers, tighten the faceplate screws by turning them clockwise. Alternate tightening the screws, keeping them even – do not completely tighten one screw before tightening the other .
29 Replacing the Cutting Burrs If the cutting burrs are damaged, or have reached the end of their life (usually after grinding 600–800 lbs. of coffee), they can be replaced easily . Contact KitchenAid at 1-800-541-6390 to order a set of replacement burrs.
30 TROUBLESHOOTING • If the mill does not run when switched on: Check to see if the mill is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. If it is, unplug the mill, then plug it back in again. If the grinder still does not work, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the mill is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed.
