Step 10

              Cleaning

In most of the cases the mill is full of sticky old coffee powder. Clean everything thoroughly for excellent coffee aroma.
The felt ring around the drive axis can be pulled out carefully using a needle. Clean it. For the inner grinder use a paint brush and a wet cloth, the other parts can be cleaned with a brush and warm water. Each part must be dried well before reassembling it.

Step 12

              Change The Grinder Cone

First insert the cleaned driver, then the three sleeves, springs and balls. Now fit the grinding cone on the three balls.
Then fit the auger, screw in central screws. When screwing in, push the cone downwards and make sure that everything meshes.
This screw turns into plastic. If it doesn’t fit properly, the thread will be damaged. So first turn the screw counterclockwise until you feel that the first thread is engaged. Then tighten it turning clockwise.

Step 13

              Reassembling

Insert grinding ring. The black gear is turned to the right again until the three marks are aligned. Then reinstall the adjuster drive shaft as it was originally.
The adjustment oft the new grinder burrs musst not necessarily be the same as the old ones. You can approximately find the mean position, which was marked before, by turning the outer ring as far as possible clockwise, then turning it fourteen clicks backwards.
It is a good idea to check if the grinder rotates freely. You can remove the meal hopper and look at the millstones from the side.
Then install the remaining parts in reverse order.
You can set the grinding degree nicely by placing an empty roll of toilet paper perpendicular to the open mill and filling it with a few coffee beans. Plug in the plug (be careful!), choose a cup of coffee and watch as the coffee grounds fall out of the grinder.

              Before - After

These two pictures are no fake: Before repairing the grinder the coffee is thin and transparent. With new stones the coffee is strong and has a fine crema. The repair was a real success!
