ASSEMBLY
To assemble your Cuisinart® Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill for use:
- . Place housing and all removable parts on a clean, flat surface. Make sure that all parts have been cleaned and dried thoroughly before assembling.
- Attach grinding container(s) to the unit housing. NOTE: It is best to attach the grinding container from the bottom while holding the unit upright. See Fig. 1.
- Line up the arrow on the grinding container with the arrow on the unit housing. NOTE: Both arrows should face each other. This will indicate the grinding container and unit are properly aligned. See Fig. 2.
- Gently push the grinding container and unit housing together. The grinding container will fit together comfortably with the unit housing. See Fig. 3.
- Secure the grinding container in place by twisting the grinding container clockwise so that the arrow on the unit housing is now aligned with the lock symbol on the grinding container. NOTE: The two pieces will click together indicating proper assembly. See Fig. 4.
- To attach the second grinding container, flip the unit housing over and repeat the assembly instructions.
To assemble the charging base for use:
- Place housing, charging base, and all removable parts on a clean, flat surface. Make sure that all parts have been cleaned and dried thoroughly before assembling.
- Place the removable spice catcher into the charging base so that it fits securely. NOTE: The spice catcher will only fit into the charging base one way. See Fig. 8.
- Connect the power adapter to the charging base by grasping the pin on the power adapter and inserting it vertically into the back of the charging base until secure. NOTE: Do not insert a power adapter into the charging base while the power adapter is plugged into a power source. See Fig. 9.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
To charge your Cuisinart® Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill for use:
- Follow assembly instructions for the Cuisinart® Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill and charging base on page 4 to properly assemble for charging.
- Grasp assembled unit securely and make sure it is facing upright. The Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill is facing upright when the Cuisinart® logo on the front of the unit is in proper reading orientation (easy to read and horizontal.)
- Place the fully assembled Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill in the charging base so that the recessed area on the back of the unit housing fits comfortably with the protrusion on the charging base.
- Plug the charging base into a 120v power outlet. Your unit is now charging for use. NOTE: The unit is properly charging if the red LED illuminates from the charging base.
QUICK TIPS
- Before first use, the batteries must be charged for 13 hours.
- To clear a peppercorn that is stuck in the grinding wheel you may either:
- 1. Turn the mill upside down and shake gently while pressing the On/Off power button.
- Turn the mill upside down and position the grind selector to coarse, then hold over a plate and grind until the peppercorn is dislodged.
- Never use moist or wet spices in the mill. This will clog the grinding mechanism. We recommend using only store-bought dried spices.
- To improve battery performance, it is recommended that you occasionally unplug the charging base and run the mill until its battery is fully discharged and it stops operating. Once discharged, plug the charging base back into the electrical outlet and recharge the mill for 13 hours. This procedure improves battery capacity and should be repeated every 2–3 months.
- Clean the mill and base by simply wiping all parts with a damp cloth and thoroughly drying. Do not place it in the dishwasher. Avoid wetting battery contacts.
CHARGING & BATTERY LIFE
Your Cuisinart® Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill is equipped with NiMH batteries. We have selected these batteries to give you maximum battery life and long running times. If batteries should run down completely, it will take between 8 and 13 hours to fully recharge them. Normally, you won’t run batteries down completely, since the running time with a full charge is up to 20 minutes. It varies depending on your usage, but most grinding tasks take only about 5 seconds. If your battery is no longer charging, it is time to replace the battery. Please call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726- 0190 for instructions on returning your unit for battery replacement.
CONTINUOUS CHARGING
The unit is designed so that the batteries may remain on continuous charge. It is recommended that the Salt, Pepper, and Spice Mill charger be kept plugged into a wall socket so that the mill will always be ready to use. Leaving the unit on continuous charge is inexpensive in terms of the amount of electricity being used. Use only the charger provided with the appliance. Do not attempt to use this charger with any other product. Likewise, do not attempt to charge this appliance with any other charger.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Simply wipe all parts with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Do not place it in the dishwasher. Avoid wetting battery contacts. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
