Product Information
Full details
The Olympia 6-inch salt and pepper mill is an ideal tool for home cooks and professional chefs who prioritize reliability and versatility in their seasoning routine. Its key benefit lies in its highly durable ceramic grinding mechanism, which offers consistent results across various textures, though users should note that it requires manual assembly to swap between salt and pepper functions.

FAQs
Can I use this mill for other spices?
This mill is optimized for dry salt crystals and peppercorns. Using oily spices may clog the ceramic mechanism.
Is the exterior finish dishwasher safe?
No, the mill should never be put in the dishwasher. Clean with a dry cloth only.
How do I switch the labels?
Simply unscrew the top nut, remove the current label nut, and replace it with the alternative one provided.
What is the best way to clean the inside?
Use a small, dry brush to remove any residual dust from the ceramic burrs. Avoid using water or soap.
Does it come pre-filled?
The mill is supplied empty, allowing you to use your preferred variety of salt or peppercorns.
Can I use Himalayan rock salt?
Yes, the ceramic mechanism is suitable for most types of dry salt, including rock salt, provided the crystals fit within the grinder head.
Troubleshooting
Grinder feels stuck or difficult to turn
The nut may be tightened too far. Loosen the top nut slightly and ensure no oversized peppercorns are wedged in the mechanism.
Consistent grind output is uneven
Check that the internal central rod is properly aligned and that the top nut is tightened to your desired setting.
Mechanism feels loose
Check that the 'S' or 'P' nut is screwed down securely to lock the top cap and adjustment mechanism in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your mill, unscrew the top nut and remove the wooden cap to fill the reservoir with your choice of dry peppercorns or salt crystals. Select the appropriate 'S' or 'P' nut provided and screw it back onto the central rod until secure.
For care, wipe the exterior of the mill with a soft, dry cloth to keep the finish clean. Do not submerge the mill in water, as moisture can damage the internal components or wood casing. Periodically empty the chamber and shake out any residual dust to maintain the efficiency of the grinding mechanism.
