Cleaning the grinder on your Sage coffee machine is a vital part of routine maintenance, ensuring consistent performance and the best possible coffee flavor. While a complete grinder cleaning typically involves initial disassembly and brushing away coffee grounds, the provided reference specifically outlines the crucial steps for re-assembling the conical burrs as a segment of this routine cleaning process.
Re-assembling Conical Burrs During Grinder Cleaning Routine
After the initial cleaning (such as brushing away coffee grounds from the burrs and grinding chamber), correctly re-assembling the conical burrs is essential for your Sage coffee machine's grinder to function properly. Follow these steps:
- Align the Index Marks: Begin by carefully aligning the index marks on the upper burr with the corresponding marks on the grinder housing. This alignment is crucial for proper seating and function.
- Push the Upper Burr Firmly: Once the marks are aligned, push the upper burr firmly into position. Ensure it is seated securely and completely within its designated spot.
- Lock the Upper Burr: To secure the burr, lock the upper burr by rotating it clockwise. This action engages the locking mechanism, holding the burr firmly in place.
- Insert and Lock the Hopper: With the burr re-installed, insert the bean hopper back onto the machine. Ensure it is fully engaged and locked, preventing movement during operation.
- Return Grind Setting: As a final step, return your grind setting to its previous or desired position. This ensures your machine is ready to grind coffee beans to your preferred fineness.
These re-assembly steps are an integral part of the comprehensive grinder cleaning routine, ensuring your Sage coffee machine's grinding mechanism is properly set up for optimal performance after maintenance.
