When grinding jars have been left to cool, a vacuum is created inside them which can make
them difficult to open. The grinding jars can be prised open between the gripping flanges on the
lid and the grinding jar, e.g. using a flat wooden stick (HB).
5.19 Grinding jar identification
Fig. 29: Grinding jar lettering
All grinding jars can be identified by a labelling field which shows the article number and
material (SCH1).
5.19.1 Customer labelling on the grinding jar
In addition to the labelling field specified above, you can stick one of the supplied labels or
labels obtainable as accessories to the area on the grinding jar indicated (SCH2) to provide
information about the grinding jar content for example.
The label is heat resistant to 150°C and can be cleaned using alcohol or acetone to remove any
lettering you have applied.
5.20 Grinding jar cleaning
Fig. 30: Removing the O-ring
The O-ring (OR) on the groove (NU) on the underneath of the lid can be lifted out easily to clean
the grinding jar.
Grinding jars, including those with glued ceramic inserts, can be cleaned using alcohol, benzine
or normal household detergents.
NOTICE
When cleaning, do not expose grinding jars with ceramic inserts to sudden temperature
differences.
Sudden temperature fluctuations can cause the ceramic inserts to crack.
