Electrical Requirements
Extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If a longer extension cord is used,
• The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
• The cord should be arranged so it
will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
Volts: 120 A.C. only
Hertz: 60
Note: This coffee grinder has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of
electrical 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.
A short power-supply cord is
provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.

Blade Coffee Grinder Operating Instructions
Before First Use
1. Wash bowl and top cover in hot,
soapy water. Rinse and dry. Handle
the blade carefully. Bowl and top
cover can also be washed in the
dishwasher (top rack only).
5. Plug power cord into electrical
outlet.
6. Press down Top
Cover to start
processing.
(For optimum
grinding results,
do not pulse top
cover.) Continue
grinding until all
the beans are
ground to the consistency you
want, or follow Suggested Grinding
Chart for automatic drip coffee
makers and french press machines
(page 11). NOTE: Do not operate
the grinder for longer than 25
seconds.
7. To stop processing, release
pressure on Top
Cover.
8. Unplug the
appliance.
9. Wait until the
blade has
stopped rotating
and remove Top
Cover.
10.Unlock bowl
by turning it
counterclockwise.
Remove bowl
from the motor
housing.
11. Pour out ground
coffee.
Blade Coffee Grinder Use
1. Be sure the coffee grinder is
unplugged. Make sure inside of
top cover is free of coffee grinds
or residue.
2. Secure the bowl
to the motor
housing by
placing the bowl
on top and
turning clockwise
to lock in place.
3. Place whole
coffee beans in
the bowl to be processed.
Fill the bowl to no more than
the Maximum Fill line marked
on the inside of the bowl as
recommended by KitchenAid.
Various bean blends and bean
sizes can cause differences in
fill levels/grind times. Generic
markings inside the bowl will
help you adjust the amount of
grounds to your liking.
4. Position Top Cover over bowl so
that it slides over the side guides
on the motor housing.
NOTE: Make sure both cover and
bowl are in position, otherwise the
coffee grinder will not operate.
10
Grinding Tips
1. Grind only beans you will
immediately use for freshest
tasting coffee.
2. Adjust amount of coffee beans
and grinding time to suit your
own personal taste. Shorter
grinding time results in coarser
grinds. Longer grinding times
result in finer grinds, but can
overheat the coffee grinds and
valuable coffee flavors can be lost.
(For optimum grinding results,
do not pulse top cover.)
3. KitchenAid does not recommend
using this grinder to grind beans
for pump espresso type machines.
4. The Suggested Grinding Chart
(right) shows recommended
grinding times at various levels
for automatic drip coffee makers
and french press machines.
