Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your grinders:

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the grinder with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Hand Wash Only: The grinders are not dishwasher safe. Do not immerse the entire unit in water.
• Grinder Mechanism: To clean the ceramic grinding mechanism, you may grind a small amount of rice through it to clear any residue.
• Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat or humidity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your grinder, refer to the following common solutions:

• Grinder Not Working/Jammed:
  • Check if the spice chamber is empty or if the spices are too large for the mechanism.
  • Ensure the top cap is securely in place.
  • Try adjusting the coarseness setting to a coarser grind, then back to your desired setting.
  • If grinding mechanism feels stiff, try grinding a small amount of coarse salt or rice to clear any blockages.
• Inconsistent Grind:
  • Verify that the coarseness adjustment knob is tightened appropriately for your desired setting.
  • Ensure the spices are dry and free from moisture, which can affect grinding consistency.
• Residue on Surfaces:
  • Always ensure the bottom cap is properly attached when the grinder is not in use to prevent crumbs from falling.
