1. Locate the Type-C charging port on the side of the grinder.
2. Connect one end of the Type-C cable to the grinder and the other end to a compatible USB power source (e.g., USB adapter, laptop, power bank, car charger).
3. The LED indicator will show charging status (specific indicator behavior may vary, refer to product packaging if available).
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the cable.

2. Filling the Grinders

The grinders are designed for easy refilling with your preferred salt or pepper. Ensure the grinder is empty and clean before refilling.

1. Hold the top section of the grinder and twist the clear bottom container counter-clockwise to detach it.
2. Fill the clear container with your desired spices (e.g., whole peppercorns, coarse salt). Do not overfill. The capacity is approximately 4.75 ounces (135ml).
3. Align the top section with the filled container and twist clockwise until securely fastened.

Operating Instructions

2. Adjusting Coarseness

The ceramic grinding core allows for adjustable coarseness, from fine to coarse. To adjust, rotate the knob located at the bottom of the grinder (above the clear container) clockwise for finer grind or counter-clockwise for coarser grind.
