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 recom-
mend using only store-bought dried spices.
• To improve battery performance, it is recom-
mended 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
TM
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 1-800-472-
7606 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

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 dis-
posal 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.

batteries, or to receive additional instructions
