Care Instructions
The manufacturer does not provide complete cleaning or washing instructions, but there are some practical tips for use and storage. The foldable handle can be folded down against the grinder body to reduce the risk of tipping and to make it easier to store, from the kitchen counter to the suitcase. One thing to be aware of is that if you press down the handle, the shaft can shift slightly, which in the finest grind setting can cause slight contact between the burrs.
