QUICK TIPS • Before first use, the batteries must be charged for 13 hours. • To clear a peppercorn that is stuck in the grinding wheel you may either: 1. Turn the mill upside down and shake gently while pressing the On/Off power button. 2. 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 discharged, plug the charging base back into the electrical outlet and recharge the mill for 13 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. Avoid wetting battery contacts. CHARGING & BATTERY LIFE Your Cuisinart® Salt, Pepper and Spice Mill is equipped with NiMH batteries. We have selected these batteries to give you maximum battery life and long running times. If batteries should run down completely, it will take between 8 and 13 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 only about 5 seconds. If your battery is no longer charging, it is time to replace the battery. Please call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-7260190 for instructions on returning your unit for battery replacement. CONTINUOUS CHARGING The unit is designed so that the batteries may remain on continuous charge. It is recommended that the Salt, Pepper and Spice 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. SHORT RUN TIMES If, after repeated use, the run time seems to get shorter and the Salt, Pepper and Spice 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 13 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 AND MAINTENANCE Simply wipe all parts with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Do not place in the dishwasher. Avoid wetting battery contacts. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. DISPOSAL/RECYCLING OF BATTERIES This product uses four NiMH rechargeable and recyclable batteries. At the end of the batteries' useful life, they should be recycled. These batteries must not be incinerated or composted. NiMH batteries should not be put in municipal waste systems. Contact your local waste collection agency for proper recycling and disposal information for your area. Please do not attempt to dismantle the mill to replace these batteries on your own. Damage could result to the unit. When it is time to replace and/or recycle the batteries, or to receive additional instructions for disposing of old batteries, call toll-free 1-800-7260190 for instructions on how to ship your Salt, Pepper and Spice Mill back to Cuisinart. Or send the Salt, Pepper and Spice Mill to: Cuisinart, 7475 North Glen Harbor Blvd., Glendale, AZ 85307. 6
