SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

BEFORE USE

• Place charging base and all removable parts on a clean flat surface and unpack all pieces.
• Before using the mills for the first time, we suggest wiping the product with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust.
• Dry it thoroughly with a soft, absorbent cloth.
• Read all instructions completely for detailed operating procedures.
• Please note, this product comes with batteries ready for use.

To fill with pepper or salt:

• With the pepper mill standing on its base, hold the black plastic rim located around the edges of the grinding head and turn it counterclockwise to uncover the salt/pepper chamber's opening.
• Fill the transparent refill chamber with salt or pepper.
• Close the grinding head by returning it back into its initial position, lock in place by turning the black plastic part counter-clockwise, until the opening is completely closed.
  

USE

• Connect the other end of power adapter to the charging base by grasping the end of the power adapter and inserting it horizontally into the back opening of the charge base.
• Connect the power adapter plug into an outlet. The blue indicator lights will turn on letting you know the base is properly plugged in and ready for use.
• Hold the mills upright and gently push the grinding mills into the charging base until they lock in place. The grinding containers will fit comfortably with the unit housing.
• The blue indicator lights will start to blink after the mills are inserted to show the mills are currently being charged.
• Charging the mills will take about 2 to 4 hours. It takes the same amount of time to charge whether charging one or both mills at a time.

ADJUSTING THE GRIND

• Before seasoning your meals, you can adjust the fineness of the ground salt and pepper by turning the adjustment wheel on the underside of the mill.
• To do so, turn the wheel clockwise for a finer grind and counterclockwise for a coarser grind.

MAINTENANCE

Clean the housing and grinding head with a damp cloth and dry with a paper towel. Do not immerse the mill in liquid or put it in a dishwasher. Do not use with wet hands. Do not use cleaning products or detergents.

Do not wet battery contacts.

BATTERIES

• Each mill runs on 4 x Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries are included with your salt and pepper mill set.
• To open the unit and access the battery compartment, turn the mill upside down and turn the plastic cap counterclockwise to unlock it. Once unlocked, simply lift the battery compartment out from the unit.
• When inserting batteries, make sure that the polarity of each battery is respected and matches with the symbol indicated on the battery cradle.

• Do not mix old and new batteries
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nicad, Ni-MH, etc.) batteries

If your appliance does not work properly, it is probably because the batteries are discharged. In that case, recharge the batteries on the charging base, or replace the batteries with a new set of NiMH rechargeable batteries.

This product includes four Ni-Mh rechargeable and recyclable batteries (1.2V) in each mill. At the end of the batteries' useful life, they should be recycled. These batteries must not be incinerated or composted. See "Protection of the environment". Do not incinerate or compost batteries, as they will explode at high temperatures.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the mill does not grind, or if no motor noise can be heard, please check that the batteries are installed correctly and are not discharged.

If the mill gets stuck during use (motor produces hum, but internal shaft does not turn and no pepper is ground], gently shake the mill or tap the mill gently on a hard surface, to remove the stuck pepper or salt.

To remove deeply stuck peppercorn, remove the upper lid as if for refilling the mill, turn the coarseness setting to its coarsest, and tap lightly on a hard surface until all the peppercorn is released. Re-adjust coarseness setting to the desired level once done and replace upper lid.

Note: Too fine a grind setting may not enable salt or pepper to be ground. If this is the case, set the grinder to a coarser setting (see above).
