“In order to ensure a stable and fixed thread position - please apply a food grade grease to the threads.”
Burr clean No interval given

“Clean the grounds spindle and remove any residue coffee from inside the burr chamber”
Burr replacement Every 150 kg of coffee

“Crafted from high-nitrogen 420 stainless steel, the burrs achieve a hardness of HRC58, providing durability and a burr life of up to 150kg of coffee.”
Quick clean After every grind

“PLEASE NOTE: Varia recommends that the bellows are used after every grind to flush loose grinds/chaff left in the burr chamber, and should not be used as a hopper extension.”

What the manual does not say

2 jobs with nothing stated
  • Seal / gasket replacement
  • Cleaning tablets
Notes from the research
  • The manual PDF is on cdn.shopify.com (Varia's own Shopify store); the source carries linked_from pointing at the variabrewing.com product page that links it. It does not say 'Gen 2'; it is the one the current VS3 product page links, and describes the Supernova burr.
  • No interval for the full (disassembly) clean; no cleaning-tablet or seal guidance.
