Before First Use
Wash bowl and top cover in hot, soapy 
water. Rinse and dry. Handle the blade 
gently. Bowl and top cover can also be 
washed in the dishwasher (top rack only).
To Use Blade Coffee Grinder:
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 into place.
3. A scale is provided inside the bowl for 
the KitchenAid recommended amount of 
beans to grind for 4, 8, 10, and 12 cups 
of coffee. Fill the bowl to your desired 
cup size with 4 cups minimum or 
12 cups maximum level. Various bean 
blends and bean sizes can cause 
differences in fill level and grind times. 
4. Position the top cover over the bowl so 
that the lid’s latch aligns with the motor 
housing base and the side guides fall 
into place.
NOTE: Make sure both cover and bowl 
are in position; otherwise, the coffee 
grinder will not operate.
5. Plug power cord into electrical outlet.
6. Press down the top cover to start 
processing. For optimum grinding 
results, do not pulse the top cover. 
Continue grinding until all the beans are 
ground to the desired consistency or 
see the “Suggested Grinding Chart” in 
the “Grinding Tips” section for 
automatic drip coffee makers and 
French press machines. 
NOTE: Do not operate the grinder for 
longer than 25 seconds.
7. To stop processing, release pressure on 
top cover.
8. Unplug the coffee grinder.
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.
