2. Setup and Filling
- Unpack: Carefully remove the shakers from their packaging.
- Clean: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the shakers with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.
- Fill: To fill, hold the shaker upright. Gently twist and pull off the stainless steel top. Fill the transparent body with your desired ground spice (e.g., salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, garlic). Do not overfill.
- Secure Top: Align the stainless steel top with the body and push it firmly back into place until secure. Ensure it is properly sealed to prevent spills.

3. Operating Instructions
The Salter Gravity Shakers are designed for simple, one-handed operation:
- Activate: To dispense seasoning, simply tilt the shaker downwards over your food. The internal gravity mechanism will cause the seasoning holes on the top to open automatically.
- Season: Shake gently to dispense the desired amount of spice.
- Deactivate: Once you return the shaker to an upright position, the seasoning holes will automatically close, preventing spills and keeping your kitchen tidy.

4. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the shakers with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the shakers in water, as this can damage the internal mechanism.
- Drying: Ensure the shakers are completely dry before refilling or storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to preserve the quality of your spices.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Salter Gravity Shakers, please refer to the following:
- Shaker not dispensing:
- Ensure the shaker is tilted sufficiently for the gravity mechanism to activate.
- Check if the spice holes are clogged. Gently tap the shaker or use a small, dry brush to clear any blockages.
- Verify that the shaker is not empty.
- Spices leaking when upright:
- Ensure the stainless steel top is securely attached and properly aligned.
- Check for any spice residue around the sealing area that might prevent a complete closure. Clean if necessary.
- Avoid overfilling the shaker, as this can interfere with the closing mechanism.
