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 together
indicating proper assembly.
9
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 grinding container
by aligning the grooves on
the measuring cap 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 grind tray will
only fit into the charging
base one way.
10
Connect 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 power adapter into the
charging base while power
adapter is plugged into a
power source.
B CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
To charge your Cuisinart Seasoning Mill for use:
Follow the assembly instructions on page 9.
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 charging base into a
power socket. The unit is now
charging for use. NOTE:
Unit is properly charging if
the red LED illuminates on
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.
11
C ADJUSTING THE GRIND
To adjust the grind from fine to
coarse, use the adjustment dial
on the underside of the mill.
Clockwise for a finer grind and
anticlockwise for a coarser grind.
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 centre 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 QUICK TIPS
Before first use, the batteries must be charged
for 12 hours.
To clear a peppercorn that is stuck in the
grinding wheel you may either:
a Turn the mill upside down and shake gently
while pressing the On/Off power button.
a 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.
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
12
discharged, plug the charging base back
into the electrical outlet and recharge the
mill for 12 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 in the dishwasher.
F 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.
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 total charge per month.
13
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 mill until it is fully discharged
and stops operating. Plug base back into 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
Never immerse the full appliance in water
or any other liquid or place in a dishwasher.
To clean the main unit, use a clean, dry cloth.
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.
Only wipe the outside with a soft, dry, dust
free cloth.
