Troubleshooting

If your grinder is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• Grinder not activating: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace all 6 AAA batteries if necessary.
• Poor grinding performance: Ensure the spice compartment is not overfilled. Check if the grinding mechanism is clear of blockages. Adjust the grind size setting.
