Instructions for Use

A  ASSEMBLY

| |
---|---|---

• 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.

• 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.

• Gently push the grinding container and unit housing together. The grinding container will fit together comfortably with the unit housing.

• Secure the grinding container in place by twisting the grinding container 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

• To attach the second grinding container, flip the unit housing over and repeat assembly instructions.

• Your Cuisinart Seasoning Mill is now assembled.

For use with measuring cap:

• To use the measuring cap on either grinding container, grasp the measuring cap and connect to the grinding container by aligning the grooves on the measuring cup with the ridges in the grinding container.
• Press together until the ridge of the measuring cap rests flat against the grinding container.
  NOTE: When not in use, the measuring cap should remain in the uppermost grinding container, as the unit housing will not fit into the charging base if the measuring cap is on the lower container.

To assemble 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 grind tray into the charging base so that it fits securely.
  NOTE: The ground tray will only fit into the charging base one way.

• 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.

B CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

To charge your Cuisinart Seasoning Mill for use:

• Follow the instructions under the Assembly section.

• Grasp assembled unit securely and make sure it is facing upright. The Seasoning 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 Seasoning 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 power socket. The unit is now charging for use.
  NOTE: The unit is properly charging if the red LED illuminates the charging base. When the unit is fully charged, the LED indicator will change to blue.
  NOTE: Before first use, the batteries must be charged for 12 hours.

C ADJUSTING THE GRIND
To adjust the grind from fine to coarse, use the adjustment dial on the underside of the mill. Turn clockwise for a finer grind and anticlockwise for a coarser grind, following the arrows on the mill.

D OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Assemble the Cuisinart Seasoning Mill as detailed in Section A.

• Ensure the unit is fully charged as detailed in Section B

• Hold the unit with the end that you wish to grind from facing downwards.

• Press the On/Off button in the center of the unit housing to begin grinding.
  NOTE: Only the bottom container will yield any grinding results. Even though the grinding container facing upward will rotate, no grinding will actually take place.

• To grind from the other end of the unit – simply flip the unit over.

E CHARGING & BATTERY LIFE
Your Cuisinart Seasoning Mill is equipped with NiMH batteries. We have selected these batteries to give you maximum battery life and long running times. Avoid wetting battery contacts. Before first use, the batteries must be charged for 12 hours.

If batteries should run down completely, it will take between 8 and 12 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 around 5 seconds.

CONTINUOUS CHARGING

The unit is designed so that the batteries may remain on continuous charge. It is recommended that the Seasoning 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 with 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.

HOLDING THE CHARGE

The batteries hold most of their charge even when not plugged in and charging, losing only about 30% of the total charge per month.

SHORT RUN TIMES
If, after repeated use, the run time seems to get shorter and the Seasoning Mill has less power, remove the plug from the wall outlet and continue to use the mill until it is fully discharged and stops operating. Plug the base back into a wall outlet and recharge the unit for 12 hours or overnight for a full new charge. This procedure improves battery capacity and should be repeated once every 2– 3 months to ensure optimum performance.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The appliance is safe to be left plugged into the electrical supply when not in use to ensure the batteries are always charged. However, the product should be switched off and unplugged before cleaning, removing or attaching the grinding containers to refill with salt, pepper, or spices, or when handling any parts that are intended to move. It should also be unplugged if not being used for a prolonged period of time.

• Clean the mill and base by simply wiping all parts with a damp cloth and thoroughly drying. Do not expose the appliance to moisture.

• Do not use detergents to clean it.

• To clean the grinding chambers, simply unlock the container, remove and wash with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace.

• To clear a peppercorn that is stuck in the grinding wheel you may either:
  ✓ 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 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.

• N.B Never immerse the full appliance in water, any other liquid, or place in a dishwasher.

In some instances, grinds can become lodged between the metal spindle in each of the grind containers and the main power unit. If this happens, the unit will not function. The motor will not start when the ON/OFF button is pressed.

To dislodge loose grinds, remove each of the removable grind containers in turn and shake the main power unit to release any loose grinds. There is no need to empty the containers. Replace the grind containers and use them as normal.
