What the manual does not say

3 jobs with nothing stated
  • Bearing / thread lubrication
  • Burr replacement
  • Seal / gasket replacement
Notes from the research
  • The maker manual is pictogram-only: daily wipe of housing/tray/dosing area and a "regular maintenance" hopper wipe; no burr cleaning, burr life, lubrication or seals.
  • Burr cleaning and cleaning tablets come from a retailer (community) with no interval.
  • No first-party or verifiable community burr-life figure found (forum lore says ~300 kg).
