• Do not charge the unit using an outdoor socket.

• To protect against electrical shock, do not put the main unit in water or other liquids. If the appliance falls into liquid, remove it immediately, then clean and dry the unit thoroughly before continuing.

• The product should be switched off and unplugged before cleaning, removing or attaching the grinding containers, or when handling any parts that are intended to move.

• This product contains NiMH rechargeable 2.4V batteries that are not to be removed from the appliance for charging. The batteries are non-replaceable by the end user.

• Polythene bags around the appliance or its packaging may be dangerous. To avoid any risk of suffocation, keep these bags out of reach of babies and children. These bags are not toys.

To assemble your CUISINART SG6U Seasoning Mill, follow these steps:

1. Place the housing and all removable parts on a clean, flat surface. Ensure all parts have been cleaned and dried thoroughly.

2. Attach a grinding container to the unit housing. It is best to attach the container from the bottom while holding the unit upright.

3. Line up the arrow on the grinding container with the arrow on the unit housing. Both arrows should face each other to indicate proper alignment.

4. Gently push the grinding container and unit housing together. They will fit together comfortably.

5. Secure the grinding container by twisting it so that the arrow on the unit housing aligns with the lock symbol on the grinding container. The two pieces will click together, indicating proper assembly.

6. To attach the second grinding container, flip the unit housing over and repeat the assembly instructions.

7. Your Cuisinart Seasoning Mill is now assembled.

To use the measuring cap on either grinding container:

1. Grasp the measuring cap and connect it to the grinding container by aligning the grooves on the cap with the ridges on the container.

2. Press them together until the ridge of the measuring cap rests flat against the grinding container.

NOTE: When not in use, the measuring cap should remain on the uppermost grinding container. The unit will not fit into the charging base if the measuring cap is on the lower container.

To assemble the charging base for use:

1. Place the housing, charging base, and all removable parts on a clean, flat surface. Ensure all parts are clean and dry.

2. Place the removable grind tray into the charging base so that it fits securely. The grind tray will only fit into the charging base one way.

3. Connect the power adapter to the charging base by grasping the pin on the adapter and inserting it vertically into the back of the charging base until secure. NOTE: Do not insert the power adapter into the charging base while the adapter is plugged into a power source.

To charge your CUISINART SG6U Seasoning Mill, follow these instructions:

1. Ensure the unit is fully assembled.

2. Grasp the assembled unit securely and make sure it is facing upright. The Cuisinart logo on the front should be in a proper horizontal reading orientation.

3. Place the fully assembled Seasoning Mill in the charging base so that the recessed area on the back of the unit housing fits comfortably with the protrusion on the charging base.

4. Plug the charging base into a power socket. The unit is properly charging if the red LED illuminates on the charging base. When the unit is fully charged, the LED indicator will change to blue.

NOTE: Before the first use, the batteries must be charged for 12 hours.

To adjust the grind from fine to coarse on your CUISINART SG6U, use the adjustment dial located on the underside of the mill. Turn the dial clockwise for a finer grind and anticlockwise for a coarser grind, following the arrows on the mill.

Follow these steps to operate your CUISINART SG6U Seasoning Mill:

1. Assemble the Seasoning Mill as detailed in the assembly section.

2. Ensure the unit is fully charged.

3. Hold the unit with the end that you wish to grind from facing downwards.

4. Press the On/Off button in the centre of the unit housing to begin grinding. NOTE: Only the bottom container will yield any grinding results. Even though the grinding container facing upward will rotate, no grinding will actually take place.

5. To grind from the other end of the unit, simply flip the unit over.

Your CUISINART SG6U Seasoning Mill is equipped with NiMH batteries selected for maximum battery life and long running times.

Initial Charge: Before first use, the batteries must be charged for 12 hours.

Recharging: If batteries run down completely, it will take between 8 and 12 hours to fully recharge them. A full charge provides up to 20 minutes of run time.

Continuous Charging: The unit is designed so that the batteries may remain on continuous charge. It is recommended that the charger be kept plugged into a wall socket so the mill is always ready to use. Use only the charger provided with the appliance.

Holding the Charge: The batteries hold most of their charge even when not plugged in, losing only about 30% of their total charge per month.

If, after repeated use, the run time seems to get shorter and the CUISINART SG6U Seasoning Mill has less power, you can improve the battery capacity. Remove the plug from the wall outlet and continue to use the mill until it is fully discharged and stops operating. Then, plug the base back into the wall outlet and recharge the unit for 12 hours or overnight for a full new charge. This procedure should be repeated once every 2-3 months to ensure optimum performance.

For cleaning and maintenance of your CUISINART SG6U:

• The appliance should be switched off and unplugged before cleaning, refilling, or handling moving parts.

• Clean the mill and base by wiping all parts with a damp cloth and drying thoroughly. Do not expose the appliance to moisture.

• Do not use detergents to clean it.

• To clean the grinding chambers, unlock the container, remove it, and wash it with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing.

• Never use moist or wet spices in the mill, as this will clog the grinding mechanism. Only use store-bought dried spices.

• N.B. Never immerse the full appliance in water, any other liquid, or place it in a dishwasher.

To clear a stuck peppercorn from your CUISINART SG6U, you may try one of the following methods:

• Turn the mill upside down and shake it gently while pressing the On/Off power button.

• Turn the mill upside down, position the grind selector to coarse, then hold it over a plate and grind until the peppercorn is dislodged.

In some instances, grinds can become lodged between the metal spindle in the grind containers and the main power unit. If this happens, the CUISINART SG6U will not function, and the motor will not start when the ON/OFF button is pressed.

To dislodge these loose grinds, remove each of the removable grind containers in turn and shake the main power unit to release any loose grinds. There is no need to empty the containers. Once cleared, replace the grind containers and use the mill as normal.
