Troubleshooting
Pepper mill is difficult to grind
Check if the grind setting is too fine. Adjust to a coarser setting. Ensure the mechanism is free of debris; clean if necessary following care instructions.
Uneven pepper grind
Ensure the mill is filled with whole peppercorns of a consistent size. Clean the carbon steel mechanism to remove any obstructions or worn parts.
Wood finish appears dull or damaged
Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water for cleaning. Gently polish the wood with a food-safe mineral oil or a dedicated wood polish designed for kitchenware.
