Cleaning and the Motor Housing 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. Keep them dry at all times. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
