it can cause defects, so do not use it in the bathroom or any other room where there is high
humidity.

temperatures, physical shocks or vibration. The appliance is designed to be operated and stored in a situation
where temperatures are between +5° and +40° Celsius. Do not use the appliance in a wet or humid
environment.
• Never adjust the grinding fineness to such a level that the shaft gets stuck. In the case of the shaft jamming,
rotate the fineness level adjusting screw towards the symbol +. If grinding is still not possible, do not force it,
but remove the peppercorn compartment and clean the grinding head.
• Fill the appliance’s peppercorn compartment with ONLY salt and/or pepper
• Never operate the device when it is empty.
• This device is not supposed to be used by physically or mentally handicapped people, or persons without

• If you do not use the appliance for a longer period of time (more than 1 month) then please remove the
batteries from the battery holder. If you do not do this, corrosive chemicals may escape from the batteries
and damage the appliance.
• If device does not start (upon pushing the ON button) after the insertion of the batteries, check whether the
batteries are properly inserted (they must correctly touch the contacts of the battery compartment) and the
grinding fineness adjusting screw is not over-tightened.

Dear Customer,
All electrical and mechanical equipment needs to be cared for appropriately. It’s important to
note that using or storing the appliance in certain conditions may adversely affect its lifespan and
functionality. Always protect the appliance from the conditions listed below.
Using or storing the appliance in a wet, humid or damp environment can cause:
- deterioration and premature aging of the cover and electric insulation of the appliance,
- premature wearing and aging of the plastic and rubber components,
- rust and corrosion affecting electrical components and metal parts.
Using the appliance in a dusty environment or in the kitchen (where the air may be contaminated
with vapours from cooking oil or grease) can cause:
- greasy dust coatings on the mechanical and electrical elements and the casing of the appliance,
which could result in electrical contact failure or even complete breakdown, and could also
damage the plastic and rubber elements.
Storing the appliance in cold or frosty environment may cause:
- damage to the plastic and rubber components; if they become fragile, this may result in a safety
risk.
- oxidation resulting from condensation, and corrosion of the metal components.
Direct and indirect heat (e.g. being too close to an oven or a heating appliance) can cause:
- damage, deformation, softening or melting of plastic or rubber parts and casing elements, or
deterioration of electrical insulation.
Following the operating instructions and avoiding any of the conditions listed above will help you
increase the lifespan of the appliance. The manufacturer is not responsible if the appliance is stored
inappropriately or contrary to these instructions. You are recommended to have the appliance
serviced regularly by an authorised engineer to keep it working for as long as possible.
Keep your environment clean! The used appliance cannot be disposed of with communal waste, as
it can pollute wildlife and severely endanger human health. At the end of its life please take it to a
locally approved competent recycling point for electric appliances for recycling or for environment
friendly disposal. Do not dispose of flat batteries with communal waste, but take them to a locally
approved recycling point. Flat batteries are hazardous waste that pollutes the environment if not
collected and disposed of in an environment friendly manner.
Please keep this instruction manual. If you give the appliance to anyone else, you must give them
this instruction manual, too!
MAIN COMPONENTS
1. Peppercorn compartment
2. Upper cover element
3. Power ON button
4. Grinding head

6. Battery compartment
POWER SUPPLY
The operation of the device requires 4 pcs 1.5 V batteries (“penlight battery”, UM-3, ”AA”, LR6).
Notes
• The appliance can be energised only by batteries. Neither a mains connection, supply adapter nor supply
accumulator can be used for its power supply.
• Please use only batteries as specified in the instruction manual. Other batteries (other size or shape) cannot
be inserted in the appliance and it may become inoperable or damaged when used with batteries supplying a
different voltage.
• Unpack the appliance and remove all the packing materials.
• Examine the device to make sure it’s complete and has not suffered any damage. You should only use the
device if all parts are present and undamaged.
Battery replacement
• Carefully rotate the upper cover in a counter-clockwise direction by approx. 1/12 turn while holding the
peppercorn compartment.
• Remove the upper cover from the unit, and then also remove the plastic tube protecting the batteries.
• Remove the run-down battery and insert new ones, according to the indicated polarity. Please perform the
battery replacement carefully since the warranty of the device does not cover the failures caused by improper
battery replacement.
• Place the plastic tube back onto the battery compartment and the same with the upper cover onto the unit.
Fasten the upper cover by rotating clockwise.
Never dispose of the replaced batteries in the household waste, because they will endanger the
environment! Please use a dedicated waste container provided for this purpose or a collecting
station for disposing of used batteries!
Never throw the batteries in the fire, because they can explode.
Filling the peppercorn compartment
• Carefully rotate the upper cover in a counter-clockwise direction by approx. 1/12 turn while holding the
peppercorn compartment.
• Carefully pull off the compartment from the unit, and then fill it with salt or pepper.
• Replace the compartment back on the unit so that the pins on the unit fit in the holes on the compartment.
• Replace the cover element on the unit, and fasten it by rotating in clockwise direction.
• Adjust the desired grinding fineness level by means of the screw located on the bottom of the unit. Rotate
the screw towards the + mark for a coarser grind or towards the - mark for a finer grind.
• The appliance grinds while the power ON button is depressed.
Warning!
Never adjust the grinding fineness to such a degree that it blocks the shaft. When the shaft is
blocked, rotate the fineness adjusting screw toward the mark +. If grinding still fails to occur, do
not force it, but take the compartment off and clean the grinding head.
Warning! This household appliance was designed for intermittent operation only. After an
operation session of maximum 20 seconds a rest of at least 2 minutes is required, otherwise the
unit can become damaged. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the possible defects due to
or originating from the exceedance of the operation period specified for continuous use, as well as
the non-observance of the rest periods.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Warning!
Never immerse the unit into water or hold it under rushing water.
• Clean the outside cover of the appliance with a damp, soft, lint-free cloth and then wipe the cleaned
surfaces with a dry lint-free cloth. Take care not to allow any moisture inside the cover. Let the appliance dry
completely before re-using or storing it.
• When cleaning the appliance, never use solvent (acetone, benzole, petrol, alcohol, etc.) as these may solve
the casing material, or the internal parts of the appliance if they get into. Do not use cleaning agents with
coarse or grinding effect.
