The dial for the grinder on the right size has no numbers and turns 360 degrees. How do I know where the desired setting is.

I played with it a while and when I found the right position for the coffee beans I used I left it there. It depends on the beans size but it is somewhere near the middle. One espresso should take about 6-7 seconds to the half cup.

I just moved it around and kept trying it until it got to the grind size I needed/wanted

You should look in your service manual.See the comment from E. Verdolin dated 16Feb13. The grinder setting scale is attached to the top front side of the clear plastic, coffee bean storage bin, (which feeds the beans to the grinder below).When you turn the grinder setting knob, the indicator position moves back and forth along the numbered scale.I use a setting between 3 to 4 depending on the beans. And typically adjust in 1/4 increments.

Trial and error is the best method. Try a little grind at either extreme, then hit the halfway mark. Try a grind there...then adjust up or down depending on what works best for your preferences, and the beans you are using.

The circle under the grinder cover has numbers. As you turn the wheel the number changes.

Same story, I've gotten multiple counters out of one set. The switch on my grinder went out pretty quick though. Always wants to spring off of lock mode.

Did you turn off dial and push red reset button on the bottom of the machine. Then wait 3 minutes to try to grind again with smaller amounts. You can use our operating Instruction Manual to find the nearest Regional Service Centre. (You may also call Preethi Customer Call Center at (044)24328822)Of course if you are in USA you have add the 011 91 first. Hope this helps.

turn the peppermill up side down and turn the knob a few times to clear the grinder

You probably got a defective unit. Most likely you are missing the metal round piece that has 6 slots that the blades pass through for the nuts to grind.

The more you turn screw on the bottom of the grinder out (counter clockwise) the coarser the grind should be. To make the grind finer, turn the peppermill upside down and turn the mill slightly back and forth like you are grinding. This will allow the pepper seeds to fall out of the grinding burr and make turning the adjusting screw easy to screw in.

My grinder has settings 0-40. Mine is set on 18. So basically a medium setting.

The Grind Control button, on the front in the middle, goes from 2 to 12, is the only way I know to change the amount of coffee. It could be accidentally knocked to a different number. That's what has happened to me when I am cleaning the chute. If that is not the problem, I'd contact Cuisinart and I hope you're still under warranty.

Loosen screw on outer edge of dial, rotate dial to zero, lightly snug screw. When using dial for different surfaces, set dial on "0" for lower surface, raise plunger to higher surface, read difference between the two. Hope this helps.

There is a screw in the bottom of the grinder with a groove (works fine with a flat-head screw driver) you can turn either direction to adjust the coarse or fineness of your grind. I played around with mine over a large piece of wax-paper until I got a nice mix; partially coarse/partially medium-fine. Good Luck! BTW, I love this pepper grinder. The seasoning of foods with fresh grind is beyond compare!

I don't have it near me, but there are approximately 10-12 settings. You can get the desired gring for almost anything I can imagine. You dial the desired grind, tell it how many cups worth of beans are in the grinder and simply push the "on" button. The grind goes for the correct time - it's idiot proof and it eliminates debate with other people as to how long you should grind beans for the intended use.

On mine there is numbered rotating dial which provides continuous variable speed settings. There are some "flat" spots so it is not very smooth.

Put what you are grinding in the top and turn clockwise slowly to grind. It will take a little time to grind say 12 cups worth of coffee. To adjust grind corpse ness or fineness remove nut, leaver and locking device. Turn star nut counterclockwise for a corser grind and clockwise for a finer grind. Reinstall locking device, leaver and nut and you are ready to grind. I used this grinder camping and it did a lovely job for us.

First push the button in the bottom center of the unit to turn off the grinder. Test that it is off (turn it over). Then twist in about the center of the unit, where the black base meets the clear top and just about a quarter turn opens it up. Pull the inside unit out of the base and then gently pull the clear top from the battery base (no turning or twistinng). Turn the top upside down and you'll see the opening to fill it.

Using your finger, you swipe the dial surface in a circular fashion to rotate options...depending on the mode you are in, it could be time (in minutes) or numbered preset cook modes

Good question, I don't remember what it said on box/directions and it doesn't say on grinder. It takes too much work and your thumb gets tired, unless you just like a little bit of pepper. I want to find one of those old Italian wooden grinders, but I was told the company was sold to a Chinese company who moved the factory to China and the resulting low quality... probably scour eBay.
