FAQs
Can I use this mill for peppercorns or other spices?
This Salter Edith Salt Mill is designed specifically for grinding dry salt. Using it for peppercorns or other spices may damage the ceramic grinding mechanism or void the warranty.
How do I adjust the grind size?
The grind size can be adjusted by turning the knob located at the base of the mill. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind and counter-clockwise for a coarser grind.
How often should I refill the mill?
The mill has a large capacity, so the refill frequency depends on your usage. You'll know it's time to refill when you notice a significant decrease in the amount of salt being ground.
Is the ceramic grinding mechanism replaceable?
While designed for durability, if the mechanism were to fail, please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information or contact Salter customer support for potential replacement options.
How do I maintain the FSC-Certified wood finish?
Wipe the wood exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid immersion in water or using abrasive cleaners. For dryness, a light application of food-safe mineral oil can be used.
What does FSC-Certified mean?
FSC-Certified means the wood used in the mill comes from forests that are managed responsibly, ensuring environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Mill is difficult to turn or grind
Check if the mill is overfilled or if the grinding mechanism is clogged. Empty and clean the mechanism as per care instructions. Ensure the grind setting is not set to the absolute finest if resistance is high.
Uneven salt grind
Ensure the salt crystals are dry and of a suitable size for the mill. Clean the ceramic grinding mechanism for consistent performance. Adjust the grind setting.
Wood finish appears dull or dry
Apply a small amount of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to the wooden exterior using a soft cloth. Allow it to penetrate, then buff off any excess. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Salt dust escaping from the base
Ensure the grinding mechanism is properly seated and tightened. Check the base for any cracks or damage.
