Recharging
The rechargeable Battery supplies energy to the appliance and must be
recharged periodically.
1. Pull the Battery out of its housing and insert it in the Charging Base, by sliding
the Positioning Lug into the Positioning Groove of the Charging Base.
2. Plug the Charging Adapter into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. The Indicator
Light should come on.
Please note:
1. The Battery will be fully charged after 15 hours and 60% recharged after 6
hours.

2. The appliance will perform better and last longer if used regularly.
3. The Battery will heat up slightly during recharging; this is normal.
4. Avoid recharging at temperatures below 4°C (40°F) or above 40°C (104°F).
This could damage the Battery.
5. If, after repeated use, the charge does not hold, leave the appliance on until
the cylinder stops rotating and recharge the Battery for 15 hours. This process
helps to improve the recharging capacity of the Battery.
6. A fully charged appliance will grate about 500g of cheese before recharging
becomes necessary.
CARE AND CLEANING
The Salton cheese grater should be cleaned after each use.
1. Remove the Cylinder and wash it carefully under running water, using a small
brush.
2. Clean the inside of the Hopper carefully with a damp cloth.
3. Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the appliance.
Important: Never immerse the appliance, the Charging Base/Adapter or the
Battery in water.
ATTENTION COMMERCIAL USERS
The Removable Battery Pack is easy to change and permits the immediate
replacement of a discharged Battery with a fully charged Battery. This can
