Mazzer Mini - Bean Spinner?

I just purchased a mazzer mini from Wholelattelove. Well I purchased it about three weeks ago but I am just now putting it through it's paces. My problem/question is that it doesn't seem to do anything but give the coffee beans a nice little joy ride in the grinding chamber on a fine setting. When I dial back to a coarser grind it starts to go to work.

I called their technical support hotline and was told the mini needs to be "seasoned" first and that it takes time to get it operating efficiently. I was instructed to put only small amounts in at first and that especially dark-roasted "oily" beans would be the most problematic initially.

Anyone else have this experience. Talk about a buzz-kill. I can't even get a decent grind to pull my virgin espresso shot at home.

Wah!....

Thanx.
