4.2. Adjusting Coarseness
The ceramic grinder allows for adjustable coarseness, from very fine to very coarse.

- Locate the adjustment dial at the bottom of the grinder.
- Rotate the dial to select your desired grind size. Turning it one way will result in a finer grind, while turning it the other way will produce a coarser grind.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning
The LARS NYSØM Electric Grinder Set is not dishwasher safe. To clean, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the grinders in water. For internal cleaning, ensure the grinder is empty and use a small brush to remove any residual spice particles from the grinding mechanism.
5.2. Storage
Store the grinders on their charging base when not in use to ensure they are always ready. Keep them in a dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
