Operating Instructions

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fissler Magic Salt Mill.

• Dishwasher Safe: The Fissler Magic Salt Mill is dishwasher safe. For best results and to prolong the life of the ceramic grinding mechanism and stainless steel finish, hand washing is recommended.
• Hand Washing: To clean by hand, disassemble the mill by twisting the top section off. Wash both parts with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and refilling with salt. Moisture can cause salt to clump and affect the grinding mechanism.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads on the stainless steel finish, as this can scratch the surface.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Fissler Magic Salt Mill, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Mill not grinding or grinding poorly:
  • Check Salt Level: Ensure the mill is adequately filled with coarse salt.
  • Secure Assembly: Verify that the top and bottom sections are securely fastened.
  • Moisture/Clumping: If the salt is damp or clumping, empty the mill, dry the salt thoroughly (e.g., by spreading it on a tray), and then refill. Clean the grinding mechanism if necessary.
  • Foreign Objects: Inspect the grinding mechanism for any lodged foreign objects. Carefully remove them if found.
• Grinding mechanism feels stiff:
  • Salt residue can build up over time. Disassemble and clean the grinding mechanism thoroughly as described in the 'Maintenance and Cleaning' section.
