Before beginning to clean the grinder please be sure to turn the machine off and unplug it from the wall
socket. Grinder Tip: Using an oily bean will cause the coffee to build up quickly and clog the grinder.
Saeco recommends using a medium to dark colored bean that is not oily.
After cleaning the grinder and then brewing a cup of coffee it may take 2-3 grinding cycles for the machine
to dispense coffee.
Step 1:
Remove the black rubber gasket, then vacuum additional beans or grinds from the grinder area (Fig. 1).
Rotate the outer ring of the grinder counter-clockwise until the red line is at the 12 o'clock position (as
viewed from the front of the machine) or until the red line on the outer ring is 180º from the opposite red
line on inner burr ring (Fig. 2).
Lift the inner burr ring out of the assembly (Fig. 3).

Step 2:
Vacuum out any residual grinds from inside the grinder and clean the grinder burrs using the cleaning
brush (Fig. 5). Clean out the grinder coffee chute using the end of the cleaning brush (Fig. 5).
Remove the drip tray, open the service door, remove the dregdrawer and brew group. Gently pull
down the coffee doser door and brush out any ground coffee that may be inside the chute (Fig. 6).
Reassembly:
Be sure that the red line on the outer ring is still in the 12 o'clock position. Place the inner burr ring back
into the grinder making sure the red line on the inner burr is at the 6 o'clock position or 180º opposite from
the red line on the outer ring (Fig. 2). Once the inner burr ring is in place, rotate the outer ring clockwise
until it will not turn any further. At this time the two red lines should be aligned. The grinder is now at the
"0" position. Replace black round rubber gasket (Fig. 7).
Take the bean hopper container and rotate the grinder adjustment wheel to zero (0) (Fig. 8) and the doser
adjustment knob to the minus symbol (-) (Fig. 9). Slide the doser adjustment gear toward the left of the
machine until it stops. (Note: The Vienna Black does not have a doser adjustment knob. Only the Vienna
Digital & Vienna Deluxe Rapid Steam have a doser adjustment wheel.)
Reinstall the bean hopper container being sure to use the LONG screw in the back, then replace the finger
guard using the short screw in the front of the container. Once the bean hopper container has been
reinstalled, rotate each knob through the full range of motion. The grinder knob should rotate from (0) to
(18) and back, and the doser knob from the minus symbol (-) to plus symbol (+) and back.
Place the grinder adjustment knob at the eight (8) position and place the doser knob at the halfway
point between the plus symbol (+) and the minus symbol (-) symbol, or to your preferred settings.

Thank you I will look at the diagram -- used to rebuild pianos... forgot about the "smash solution" idea. Ok... do you mind staying in the loop should I run into problems?
And, I'm aware of the explodo diagrams, but do you have experience opening one of these up? If I open the motor housing (rear of device) there are four philips-head screws inside - deep that look like they need to come out, but I'd rather not. I'm hoping that the single (external) philips head underneath the cylinder below the burr drive will give sufficient access to remove the finger guard?

Hi,
The documentation is very helpful, but I already had it. The point is, the guard that I mentioned does not appear to be easily pulled free. I had assumed it was attached by its flanges to a screw set somewhere. There's no indication which I should unscrew first to get it out. Does it pry out? The broken parts consist of the "wing flanges" that attach it to the collar that is attached to the housing... somewhere. I just don't know where or how it is attached to the overall housing and where to loosen or unscrew to get it out.
Hi,
Not really sure how the "expert end" interface of this system looks... can you see my earlier questions for example? Anyway, I have a KPCG100NP1 Kitchenaid coffee grinder. I bought in on Ebay. It arrived broken. I was able to replace one part (the knob) and I ordered another part (the finger guard). The problem is that the remaining portion of the finger guard is solidly attached to the housing of the device and I cannot figure how to get it loose. The explodo diagrams don't help, so I would appreciate not getting that advice again. I need to know specifically how to detach the old finger guard and reattach the new one without damaging the unit.
I will rank your suggestion high among the very most amusing :)
