1. Empty the bean hopper and clear remaining beans only as the manufacturer permits; stop operation completely.
2. Switch off and unplug before touching internal components; wait for all movement to stop.
3. Consult the manual for removable hopper and upper burr parts and follow the locking direction without forcing them.
4. Brush grounds from burrs and the grinding chute with a soft brush. Keep fingers away from sharp edges.
5. Use a barely damp cloth only on surfaces the manual permits. Never soak the electrical base or burrs or put them in a dishwasher.
6. Dry parts completely before reassembly. Avoid the popular rice-in-the-burr-grinder shortcut because it can damage the mechanism.
