FAQs
Can I use this mill for both salt and pepper?
Yes, you can use it for either salt or pepper, but it is recommended to use separate mills or thoroughly clean the mill if switching between the two to prevent flavor mixing.
What type of salt should I use?
This mill is designed for coarse salt crystals. Fine table salt may not grind effectively and could clog the mechanism.
How do I clean the mill?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid immersing it in water or using abrasive cleaners. Ensure it is completely dry before refilling.
What is the warranty period?
The MasterClass Salt or Pepper Mill comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind.
What are the dimensions of the mill?
The mill measures approximately 5cm (Length) x 5cm (Width) x 12.5cm (Height).
Is the grinding mechanism adjustable?
While not explicitly stated as adjustable, the design aims for consistent grinding. For optimal performance, ensure the mill is filled correctly and the knob is secure.
Troubleshooting
Mill is difficult to twist or grind is inconsistent.
Check that the mill is not overfilled. Ensure only whole peppercorns or coarse salt crystals are used. Some residual moisture might be present; allow the mill to air dry completely. Verify the knob is securely tightened.
Knobs are difficult to switch.
Ensure the knob is fully unscrewed before attempting to remove it. Check that the cap and top of the mill are clean and free of debris. Gently wiggle the knob if it feels stuck.
Exterior finish is stained.
For minor stains, try wiping gently with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, a very mild soap solution may be used, followed immediately by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, unscrew the silver knob from the top of the mill. Remove the cap, fill the mill with whole peppercorns or coarse salt crystals, then replace the cap and screw the knob back on securely. Ensure you use the correct knob ('S' for salt, 'P' for pepper) to avoid confusion.
Compatibility: This mill is designed for whole peppercorns and coarse salt crystals. It is not suitable for pre-ground spices or fine table salt, which may clog the mechanism.
Care: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the mill in water, as this can damage the soft-touch finish and internal components. To clean the grinding mechanism, remove the peppercorns or salt, turn the mill upside down, and twist the grinding base (if applicable and accessible per design) or gently brush out any residue. Ensure the mill is completely dry before refilling.
