CAUTION: BE CAREFUL CLEANING THE BURRS, BECAUSE
THEY HAVE SHARP EDGES. A COTTON SWAB OR Q-TIP
TO CLEAN THE EDGES AND GROOVES SAFELY TO REMOVE
BUILD-UP. DO NOT WASH THE BEARINGS. SIMPLY REMOVE
THEM AND WIPE OFF WITH A DRY CLOTH OR BRUSH.
If residue begins to build up in the burrs, a
more advanced cleaning is needed. The
VSSL JAVA can be disassembled easily.
Here’s the step-by-step process:
1. On a clean, flat surface, remove the grind
catch (1).
2. Remove the adjustment dial nut (2).
Turn counterclockwise until it comes off.
3. Remove the adjustment plate (3) and burr (4)
from the hopper, along with the spring (5) and
lower bearing (6). The bearing sits in a frame
within the hopper. If needed, tap the bottom of the
hopper against a solid surface to remove it.
4. Now, remove the upper bearing (8) and bearing
washer (9) by sliding the grinding bolt out (10).
If needed, gently tap the top of the hopper against
a solid surface to remove the bearing.
5. Lay the parts out in order, so it will be easier to
re-assemble once the cleaning is finished.
Follow the diagram for help.
6. Clean each piece with a brush or buffing pad.
