What should I do if my grinder is not turning on?

If the grinder is not turning on, ensure it is plugged into a working outlet. Check if the bowl and lid are properly installed, as the grinder will not start unless these parts are securely in place. If it still doesn't work, inspect the power cord for damage.

Why is my grinder making a loud noise during operation?

Loud noise during grinding could be due to foreign objects in the bowl or dull blades. Remove any objects and try grinding again. If the noise persists, inspect the blades for damage or wear and replace if necessary.

How can I achieve a consistent grind size with my KitchenAid BCG111 Grinder?

To achieve a consistent grind size, pulse the grinder in short bursts rather than running it continuously. Shake the grinder gently between pulses to ensure even grinding. Additionally, make sure not to overfill the grinding bowl.

Can I grind spices with my KitchenAid BCG111 Grinder?

Yes, the KitchenAid BCG111 Grinder can be used to grind spices. Ensure the grinder is thoroughly cleaned after grinding spices to prevent flavor transfer. Note that grinding hard spices may dull the blades over time.

What is the capacity of the KitchenAid BCG111 Grinder?

The KitchenAid BCG111 Grinder can hold up to 4 ounces of coffee beans, which allows you to grind enough coffee for up to 12 cups.

How do I replace the blades on my KitchenAid grinder?

Is it normal for the grinder to heat up during use?

How often should I clean my KitchenAid BCG111 Grinder?

It is recommended to clean the grinder after every use to maintain optimal performance and prevent flavor transfer. Thoroughly clean the grinding bowl and blade, and wipe down the motor base regularly.
