Switch the grinder back on.

Step Nine
Remove the top burr carrier
Step Ten
Using the pick, remove the three springs.
Step Eleven
Use a vacuum to remove any remaining ground coffee in the chamber.
Step Twelve
Use the backend of your screwdriver to brace the bottom burr carrier. This a reverse thread, so turn the bold clockwise with your spanner.
Step Thirteen
Once loosened, remove the blade & bolt, two washers, conical burr and the bottom burr carriers.
Tip: place all items in the order in which they are removed.
Step Fourteen
Remove all remaining grounds using the vacuum, cloth and brush. Use the pick to clean any hard to reach places. The thread must be immaculate.
