Maintenance and Cleaning

Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the mill with a soft, damp cloth. The anti-fingerprint surface helps maintain its appearance.
Grinding Mechanism Cleaning: For optimal performance, occasionally grind a small amount of coarse salt through the mill to clear the ceramic mechanism.
Dishwasher Safety: The mill is dishwasher safe. However, for longevity, hand washing is recommended, especially for the ceramic grinding mechanism. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly and refilling.
Storage: Store the mill in a dry place with the top cap securely in place to protect the contents from moisture and preserve aroma.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Mill not grinding or grinding poorly.	Spice chamber is empty. Grinding mechanism is clogged. Coarseness setting is too fine for the spice.	Refill the spice chamber. Grind coarse salt to clear the mechanism. Adjust the coarseness setting to a coarser level.
Spices clumping inside the chamber.	Moisture ingress. Incorrect spice type (e.g., wet salt).	Ensure the top cap is always securely closed. Only use dry salt crystals or peppercorns. Empty, clean, and dry the mill thoroughly.
