To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

Turn the appliance OFF and unplug it from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

Avoid contacting moving parts.

This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The entire cordset is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance must be replaced.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.

The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

Do not use the appliance outdoors.

Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or contact hot surfaces, including the stove.

Check the grinding bowl for the presence of foreign objects before using.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Step 1. Remove all packing material and any stickers from the product.

Step 2. Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.

Step 3. Note that the blades are sharp; be very careful as you wipe all parts with a damp cloth or sponge.

Step 4. Do not put any parts of the unit in the dishwasher.

Step 5. Ensure the lid is securely in place before attempting to operate, as the unit has a lid interlock system for your protection.

Step 1. Remove the lid and place up to 2/3 cup (approximately 155 ml) of coffee beans into the grinding bowl.

Step 2. Place the lid securely on the grinding bowl and plug in the grinder.

Step 3. Press the pulse control for a few seconds and then release. Be careful not to overprocess the beans.

Step 4. Do not operate the grinder for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Step 5. Wait for the blades to stop spinning completely before removing the lid.

Step 6. Unplug the grinder and remove the lid to pour the ground coffee into a filter or storage container.

The following guidelines apply when grinding 2/3 cup (155 ml) of coffee beans:

The manufacturer recommends using 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of ground coffee per 5 oz cup (147 ml) of coffee you wish to brew.

Whole coffee beans should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Beans can be ground while still frozen.

Extra ground coffee should be stored in an airtight container to retain its flavor.

Yes, the BLACK+DECKER CBG110S can be used for nuts and spices, but certain rules apply:

Use short bursts for a coarse grind when processing nuts like almonds or hazelnuts.

Clean and wipe out the grinding bowl thoroughly after processing nuts to avoid a “nutty” flavor in your coffee.

The grinder can only handle dry, brittle foods. It will not grind moist, gummy, or extremely hard foods such as whole ginger, chocolate, or sesame seeds.

Do not grind oily spices like cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg, as they may damage the unit.

Do not grind grains such as wheat, rice, barley, or dried corn.

Freshly ground peppercorns or spices have strong aromas that may affect the flavor of coffee beans ground afterward. You may wish to use a separate grinder for these items.

Follow these steps to clean your coffee grinder:

Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

Wash the lid with warm water and dish soap. Do not wash the lid in a dishwasher.

Wipe the grinding bowl, base, and other parts with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Be very careful around the sharp blades.

Dry all parts thoroughly before use.

Do not immerse the grinding bowl, base, or plug in liquid or under running water.

Never use harsh detergents, abrasive cleansers, or scouring pads to clean any part of the appliance.

To remove residue or aromas left behind by nuts, grind one tablespoon of baking soda in the bowl and then wipe it thoroughly.

Use the built-in cord wrap on the underside of the unit for convenient storage.
