Thank you for selecting Mr. Coffee BMH Series Burr Mill. Only a MR. COFFEE® Burr Mill delivers better taste at a great value!

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from a person or pet becoming entangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
4. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
5. You can customize the length of the power cord so that it is the exact length you desire. To increase the length of the power cord: grasp the power cord (not the power plug) and gently lift it out of the slot, then pull it away from the grinder. To decrease the length of the power cord: grasp the power cord (not the power plug), lift it out of the slot and wrap into the base of the grinder. Lock the cord in the slot when finished.

GETTING STARTED

Always clean your Burr Mill before using the first time.
Make sure that your 1st cup of coffee is as good as can be by cleaning your Mr. Coffee Burr Mill before its first use. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Wash the bean hopper and grinding chamber parts with warm soapy water. (Never use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. UNIT IS NOT DISHWASHER SAFE).
   CAUTION! Never immerse the Burr Mill itself in water, in any other liquid or place in the dishwasher.
2. Dry all pieces thoroughly.
3. Install the Bean Hopper onto the unit and turn clockwise (several rotations-will hear clicking as unit gets tighter) until it stops with the grind size indicator on Fine (Figure 1).
4. Please chamber lid back on grinder chamber and then install into unit, tightly locking into place.
   NOTE: If all Bean Hopper and Grinding Chamber parts are not tightly in place correctly, the safety switches within the machine will not allow the grinder to work. You MUST have all parts in place to safely use the Burr Mill.

HOW TO USE YOUR Burr Mill

1. After all parts have been put into place, fill the Bean Hopper with coffee beans and replace the lid.
2. Adjust the grind size by rotating the hopper counterclockwise and then aligning the indicator on the hopper to your desired grind size (Figure 2).
   NOTE: Grind size setting will change the output volume of grounds. Fine will produce less grounds and course will product more grounds when the same volume (cup) setting is used.
3. Set the Cup Selection Dial to the desired amount of grounds (Figure 3).
4. Press and hold briefly the Start/Stop button to start the grinding process.
5. The unit will automatically stop when the selected volume has been reached.
   NOTE: You may also stop the grinding process at anytime by pressing the Start/Stop button again.
6. Remove the coffee chamber and lid and use the grounds as needed.
7. Cleaning brush can be used to remove dust from grind chamber chute located behind the removable grinding chamber (Figure 4).

COFFEE MEASUREMENT CHART

For Medium Ground Coffee

Cups of Coffee (5 oz. each)	Bean Quantity Approximate (Tablespoons)
12 Cups	12 Tbsp
10 Cups	10 Tbsp
8 Cups	8 Tbsp
6 Cups	6 Tbsp
4 Cups	4 Tbsp
2 Cups	2 Tbsp

1. The amount of whole coffee beans required is about the same as the specified quantity of medium ground coffee tablespoons.
2. The unit will work for about 1 minute if you have selected the 12 cups setting.
3. The unit may be stopped during grinding by:
   • The user – you may press the Start/Stop button at any time to stop the grinding operation.
   • Opening the hopper lid during operation – check that you have enough beans.
   • An out of position ground coffee chamber – check that it is not full. Close the lid, place it in the correct position and adjust the timer setting to avoid overfilling the ground coffee chamber before resuming operation.

NOTE: Avoid overfilling the ground coffee chamber. This can cause the unit motor to overheat and break a thermal fuse inside the mill, possibly damaging the unit permanently.
NOTE: If all Bean Hopper and Grinding Chamber parts are not tightly in place correctly, the safety switches within the machine will not allow the grinder to work. You MUST have all parts in place to safely use the Burr Mill.

HELPFUL GRINDING HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

You may customize the above bean quantity recommendations as you familiarize yourself with your new MR. COFFEE® Burr Mill, but always bear in mind the following:

1. Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired. If this happens, use less coffee grounds or change the grind setting to medium or to whichever setting is necessary to obtain the desired result.
2. Using coarser grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be weaker than desired. If this happens, use more coffee grounds to obtain the desired result. For a regular or stronger cup of coffee, adjust the grind setting to a medium to fine setting.
3. When a finer setting is required to brew espresso or cappuccino, please grind the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer.
   • For Mr. Coffee® Espresso products:
   • Set the Burr Mill to Fine grind.
   • For 2 oz. of espresso coffee, 2 tsp (0.6 tbsp) of fine grind are required. Set the Timer to 3 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind the finer grounds required.
   • For 4 oz. of espresso coffee, 4 tsp (1.3 tbsp) of fine grind are required. Set the Timer to 5 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind the finer grounds required.
   • Using improper medium or coarse coffee grinding settings might affect the taste of the brewed espresso coffee, because the optimum coffee extraction is not achieved. If you like a strong cup of espresso, make sure the grind setting is fine.
4. When a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator or using a French Press, grind the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer.
   • Mr. Coffee® recommendation:
   • Set the Burr Mill to a coarse grind setting.
   • Set the timer to 8-10 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind enough coffee for 12 cups of brewed coffee.
   • Given that coarse grounds will take up more volume, always set the timer for 2-4 cups less than the amount desired.
     NOTE: Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as you discover which setting best meets your personal coffee-making preference. As in the case of automatic drip coffee makers,
   • Using an excessive amount of coffee grounds for brewing coffee in a percolator might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket.
   • Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee manually in a percolator, or using a French Press, might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket and/ or the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired. If you want a regular or weaker cup of coffee, adjust the grind setting to a medium to coarse setting.
5. Use only coffee beans in this appliance.
6. The ground coffee chamber and its lid must always be in place when using this appliance.
7. Do not use the finest setting when grinding coffee for your automatic drip coffeemaker. The finer grounds could cause the coffee basket to overflow.
8. To avoid overheating the motor, do not grind more than 2 full whole bean hoppers or 2 full 12-cup cycles without a break. Allow the motor to cool to room temperature at least 2 minutes between cycles.
9. If the grinder stops working after running consecutive cycles, unplug the grinder from the wall outlet and allow it to cool for at least an hour. Then plug grinder back in and use as needed.
10. Flavored coffee beans will gum up the burrs and leave an oily residue when stored in the whole bean hopper for long periods of time.
11. Clean after every third use for best performance.
12. After using, open the grinder to the coarsest setting and run empty to clear the grinding path.
    NOTE: For optimum freshness of your coffee beans, do NOT store in the bean hopper for extended periods of time.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Remember to always clean your Burr Mill before using it for the first time. Then, to ensure optimal mill function and durability, clean it regularly following these simple steps:

1. Always unplug your Burr Mill after use and before cleaning.
2. Wash the bean hopper and coffee chamber parts with warm soapy water. (Never use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. UNIT IS NOT DISHWASHER SAFE)
   CAUTION! Never immerse the Burr Mill itself in water, in any other liquid or place in the dishwasher.
3. Dry all pieces thoroughly.
4. Install the Bean Hopper onto the unit and turn clockwise (several rotations-will hear clicking as unit gets tighter) until it stops with the grind size indicator on Fine.
5. Place chamber lid back on grinder chamber and then install into unit, tightly locking into place.

NOTE: If all Bean Hopper and Grinding Chamber parts are not tightly in place correctly, the safety switches within the machine will not allow the grinder to work. You MUST have all parts in place to safely use the Burr Mill.
