How to use

Fill the mill with whole peppercorns by removing the top or opening the designated filler point according to the mill’s construction. Adjust the ceramic grinding mechanism to the desired coarseness by turning the adjustment control; finer settings produce a powdery grind while coarser settings yield larger pepper pieces. Hold the body with one hand and twist the top or the grinding head with the other to grind. Regularly check the pepper level and refill as needed. Clean the exterior wooden surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid soaking the unit to preserve the wood finish and grinding mechanism.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use high-quality whole peppercorns and avoid moist or oily spices that can clog the ceramic mechanism. Store the mill in a dry place and occasionally tighten or re-align the grinding mechanism if you notice inconsistent grind sizes. Do not immerse the mill in water; care for the wooden body to maintain appearance and longevity.
