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 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
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. ✓

14
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 as normal.
