FAQs

What types of spices can I use in this mill?

This mill is primarily designed for peppercorns and coarse sea salt. Using fine table salt or other very fine spices is not recommended as they can clog the grinding mechanism.

How do I adjust the grind size?

The grind size is adjusted by turning the ring at the base of the mill. There are 16 distinct settings, ranging from extra-fine to extra-coarse.

How often should I clean the grinder mechanism?

It is recommended to clean the grinder mechanism periodically, especially if you notice any stiffness or inconsistency. Grinding a small amount of uncooked rice is an effective method for cleaning.

Can I put the mill in the dishwasher?

No, the Gefu X-Plosion mill should not be put in the dishwasher. Clean it by hand with a damp cloth to protect the materials and coating.

What is the purpose of the airtight lid?

The airtight lid with its silicone seal is designed to preserve the aroma of your spices and protect them from moisture, ensuring they remain fresh and flavorful for longer.

How does the CYCLONE grinder work?

The CYCLONE grinder features significantly more grinding teeth compared to conventional grinders, allowing it to grind spices up to six times more efficiently and evenly.

Troubleshooting

Grinder is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the mill is not overfilled. Check for any foreign objects in the grinding mechanism. If grinding salt, ensure it is coarse sea salt and not fine table salt, which can cause clogs. Grind a small amount of uncooked rice to help clear any minor blockages.

Uneven grind consistency.

Verify that the grind setting is properly engaged. Clean the grinder mechanism as described in the care instructions. Ensure you are using peppercorns or salt of a uniform size.

Lid does not seal properly.

Check the silicone seal for any debris or damage. Ensure the lid is pressed down firmly and evenly.
