How to insert batteries and fill the mill?

Insert 6 AAA 1.5 V batteries observing polarity (+ and -). Fill the container with peppercorns or coarse salt up to the symbols. Reinsert the motor ensuring contact between contacts (4) and (5), then replace the top part by turning clockwise.

How to adjust the grind level?

Remove the protective cap (7) under the container. Turn the adjustment screw (9) counterclockwise for a coarser grind, or clockwise for a finer grind. Replace the protective cap after adjustment.

How to use the mill?

Remove the protective cap (7) under the container. Press and hold the button (2) to start the mill. The LED light (8) turns on during use. Release the button to stop. Replace the cap after use.

What to do if the mill does not work?

First check the battery status: if they are empty, replace them with new batteries of the same type (AAA 1.5 V). Ensure they are inserted with the correct polarity. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to clean the mill?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the housing. For stubborn stains, add a little mild dish soap. Never immerse the mill in water and do not put it in the dishwasher. Dry all parts thoroughly. The grinder and container do not need to be cleaned.

Can I use the mill with salt or only pepper?

The mill is designed to grind peppercorns or coarse salt. Do not use other substances. Salt grains can sometimes block the mechanism due to humidity; if that happens, turn the mill upside down and press the button to release the salt.

Is the mill under warranty?

Yes, the mill comes with a 3-year warranty from the date of purchase. Keep the receipt as proof of purchase. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, but not normal wear or damage from improper use.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

The manual does not explicitly recommend rechargeable batteries, but it states not to attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. If you use rechargeable batteries, ensure they are AAA Ni-MH 1.2 V. Note that the voltage will be lower (7.2 V instead of 9 V) and battery life may be reduced.

How to store the mill when not in use?

Remove the batteries, empty the container, clean the mill as instructed, and store it in a dry, clean place away from heat.

What to do if the grinding mechanism is blocked?

Turn the mill upside down and press the button (2) to release stuck grains. You can also gently shake the mill. If the blockage persists, check that you are using suitable grains and that the container is not too full.
