Troubleshooting
Grinder Doesn’t Activate:
- Ensure that the batteries are correctly installed in the battery compartment, with the correct polarity (+/-).
- Check the battery compartment for any corrosion or loose connections. Clean or reposition the batteries as needed.
- Make sure the battery compartment is securely closed.
Weak Grinding or Noisy Operation:
- If the grinder’s performance decreases or it becomes noisy, it may be due to residue buildup or blockage in the grinding mechanism.
- Disassemble the grinder carefully according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Clean the grinding mechanism by tapping it gently to remove trapped seasonings or residue.
- Reassemble the grinder and test it again.
Difficulty Adjusting the Grind:
- If you have trouble adjusting the coarseness of the grind, ensure you’re turning the top-mounted grind adjustor in the correct direction. Clockwise typically makes the grind finer, and counterclockwise makes it coarser.
- If the adjustor is stuck, clean the area around it to remove any debris that might be hindering its movement.
Seasoning Doesn’t Dispense Properly:
- If the seasoning doesn’t dispense smoothly, ensure you’re holding the grinder correctly and flipping it with a gentle, controlled motion.
- Make sure the seasoning inside the storage container is not clumped together, as this can impede the flow. Break up any clumps if necessary.
Battery Life Issues:
- If you notice reduced battery life, it may be due to frequent use or old batteries.
- Replace the batteries with fresh, high-quality AA batteries to ensure optimal performance.
Grinder Is Leaking Seasoning:
- Check the seal between the transparent storage container and the grinder’s body to ensure it’s properly aligned and not damaged.
- Ensure the grinder is tightly screwed together after filling it with seasonings to prevent leaks.
Excessive Residue Buildup:
- If you notice a significant buildup of residue in the grinding mechanism, you may need to disassemble the grinder and perform a more thorough cleaning. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for guidance on disassembly and cleaning.
Inconsistent Grind Size:
- If you’re experiencing inconsistencies in the grind size, it may be due to variations in the size and hardness of the seasonings you’re using. Adjust the grind settings accordingly.
