5 to 10 seconds.
OPERATION
Turning your Cuisinart
®
Rechargeable Salt
& Pepper Mills on and off: Press and hold
ON/OFF button on top of handle to turn
motor ON. The unit will continue to run as
long as the switch is pressed in. To turn Salt
& Pepper Mills off, release ON/OFF button
and the motor will stop. We recommend that
you pulse the button for best results.
Your Cuisinart
®
Rechargeable Salt & Pepper
Mills have a light on the underside of the mill
that turns on when the ON button is
depressed. This allows you to see just how
much you are dispensing. When your light is
no longer working, please contact our
customer service center at 1-800-726-0190
to order a new lightbulb.
ADJUSTING THE GRIND
To perfect the grind from fine to coarse, use
the adjustment dial on the underside of the
mill. Clockwise for a finer grind and
counterclockwise for a coarser grind.
QUICK TIPS
Before first use, the batteries must be
charged for 16 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 depressing the “On/Off”
Power Button”.
2. Turn the mill upside down and position
the grind selector to coarse, then hold
over a plate and grind until peppercorn
is no longer stuck.
Never use moist or wet spices in the mills.
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 use each
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 mills for 16 hours.
This procedure improves battery capacity
and should be repeated every 2-3 months.
Clean the mills and base by simply wiping
all parts with a damp cloth and thoroughly
drying. Do not place in the dishwasher.
Avoid wetting battery contacts.
CHARGING & BATTERY
LIFE
Your Cuisinart
®
Cordless Rechargeable Salt
& Pepper Mills are 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 12 and 18 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
to order a new battery.
CONTINUOUS CHARGING
The unit is designed so that the batteries
may remain on continuous charge. It is
recommended that the Cuisinart
®
Cordless
Rechargeable Salt & Pepper Mills charger be
kept plugged into a wall socket, so that the
mills 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 total charge per month.
SHORT RUN TIMES
If, after repeated use, the run time seems
to get shorter and the Salt & Pepper Mills
have less power, remove the plug from the
wall outlet and continue to use mills until
both are fully discharged and stop operating.
Plug base back into wall outlet and recharge
