■ Directions for use
❶ Before the rst use, wash thoroughly. Use washing up liquid except on the grinding wheels.
❷ Turn the nut anti-clockwise, pull the lid and remove.
❸ Set the coarseness adjustment dial on the nest grind, then ll the compartment with spice. Watch out
as when the dial is set on the coarser grind, smaller spices such as rice grain size would fall down.
❹ Replace the lid on the shaft through the hole at the center.
Secure into place by turning the nut clockwise.
❺ To grind, take the mill in one hand and with the other, turn the lid clockwise.
❻ If the nut becomes loose, tighten it by turning it clockwise.
❼ Grind coarseness can be adjusted by rotating the coarseness adjustment dial until the black indicator
at the bottom of the main body and the coarseness indicator on the adjustment dial click into place.
The larger the size of the indicator, the coarser the grind; the smaller the indicator, the ner the grind.
❽ Leave the mill in an upright position when not in use.

■ Assembling
❶ Check that both grinding wheels, main body, shaft and n are completely dry.
❷ Check that the coarseness adjustment dial is set to the coarsest level.
❸ Slide the upper grinding wheel into the main body, making sure to match the △ on the resin part of
the grinding wheel to the coarsest level mark on the coarseness adjustment dial.
❹ As the upper grinding wheel would go inward by rotating the coarseness adjustment ring
anti-clockwise, rotate until it stops. In case it doesn't t smoothly after 4~5 rotations,
rotating while pressing down the upper grinding wheel at the same time will make it t in.
