To fill the mills with your desired spice (e.g., sea salt, peppercorns, chili flakes):

2. Pour your chosen spice into the exposed chamber. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the top wooden cap, ensuring it is seated firmly.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting Coarseness

The grind coarseness can be adjusted to your preference:

1. Turn the mill upside down.
2. Locate the plastic screw on the bottom of the grinding mechanism.
3. Turn the screw clockwise for a finer grind or counter-clockwise for a coarser grind. Test the grind and adjust as needed.

2. Grinding Spices

Once filled and adjusted, grinding is simple:

1. Hold the mill firmly with one hand.
2. With the other hand, twist the top wooden cap clockwise.
3. Continue twisting until the desired amount of ground spice is dispensed.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the wooden mills with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the mills in water.
• The ceramic grinding mechanism can be cleaned by grinding a small amount of coarse salt or rice through it to clear any residue.
• DO NOT place the mills in a dishwasher.

Storage

Store the mills in a dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to preserve the wood and spice quality.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Grinding:
  Ensure the mill is properly filled and the top cap is securely in place. Check the coarseness adjustment screw; it may be set too fine for the spice being used.
• Inconsistent Grind:
  Verify that the coarseness adjustment screw is tightened appropriately. If the issue persists, clean the grinding mechanism as described in the Maintenance section.
• Spice Leaking/Messy Output:
  This can sometimes occur with very fine grinds or certain spices. Ensure the mill is upright when not in use. Consider adjusting to a slightly coarser setting if mess is a significant concern.
