MANUAL: A TOUCH OF PEPPER®

M A N U A L

Your A TOUCH OF PEPPER®

electronic peppermill is as

marvellous a machine as pepper is

a spice. It is unique in both

conception and design. Please read

this manual attentively before using

your mill. Its proper use and care

will assure many years of service.

1.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1 .1 Filling the Mill

1. Remove housing (A) by twisting

it one quarter turn in a counter

clockwise direction.

2. Pour in peppercorns being

careful to keep the level well

below arm 

3. Re-attach housing (A) by

aligning guide mark  on

housing (A) with guide mark 

on housing (C). Then,

simultaneously push down on

and twist housing (A)

completely in a clockwise

direction until a “click” is heard.

• During removal and re-

attachment of housing (A), be

careful not to touch sensor

button  as doing so will

activate the mill.

• The mill will hold

approximately 80 grams of

peppercorns.

1 .2 Grind Size Selection

1. To select grind size, simply turn the grind adjustment collet 8 so

as to align the guide mark  with the desired grind setting ,

marked on the housing (C).

• Turning the collet clockwise gives coarser grinds, while

turning it counter clockwise gives finer grinds.

• Infinite selections of grind settings are possible between fine

and cracked. Click stops are provided at the six marked

grind settings. The collet will not turn past (cracked) sign,

in the clockwise direction, nor past (fine) sign in the

counter clockwise direction.

1.3 Grinding

1. To start grinding, simply touch the sensor button  while

circulating the mill in a circular motion over the dish to be

peppered.

• One touch of the sensor opens the grinder doors and turns on the

light which illuminates the dish to be peppered, followed by a

fraction of a second later by the start-up of the grinding

mechanism. Upon release of the touch sensor, the light will go

off, followed within milliseconds by the closing of the doors. This

helps to avoid any ‘pepper tracks’ on your table.

• The opening of the grinder doors and turning on of the light, the

timing of the “grind-pause” cycle, the delay in closing of the

grinder doors and turning off of the light, are all controlled by an

internal quartz clock precise to 1/50000 of a second. This

accuracy assures that for every touch of the sensor, a constant

amount of pepper is ground.

• One or two touches of the sensor produce enough ground

pepper to satisfy most tastes. However, keeping your finger on

the sensor suppresses the closing of the doors and turning off of

the light and will cause a repetition of the “grind pause” cycle until

the finger is removed.

• In very dry, ambient conditions, it may be necessary for some

users to very lightly moisten, not wet, their finger in order to

activate the sensor.

• Avoid spilling any liquids on the sensor as this will activate the

mill. Should that happen, wipe it with a dry cloth.

• Always keep the mill in an upright position and when not in use,

store it on the charger base. Inverting the mill may cause ground

pepper to be caught by the grinder doors from where they could

impair the proper functioning of the door closing mechanism.

1 .4 Recharging Of The NiCad Batteries

• Charge the batteries for 16 hours prior to using the mill for the first

time. Then allow the mill to fully discharge in the course of

NORMAL USE and not in one continuous session. Once fully

discharged, re-charge the batteries and thereafter you may keep

the mill stored continuously on the plugged-in charger base.

• Repeat the full discharging of the batteries every 3 months in

order to maintain the optimal capacity of the batteries.

Charging of the batteries

1. Connect charger stand cord  to a suitable electrical outlet.

2. Put the mill onto the charger stand (D)

3. Rotate the mill on the charger stand until the “battery charging”

light  lights up. This indicates that the mill is properly positioned

and that the batteries are charging.

Note that the mill is properly positioned and light illuminates when

the light on the charger control light on the base is aligned with

grind marker position number 4 on housing (C)

• The batteries have a life span of 300-500 cycles of discharge.

• When not in use, it is recommended that the mill be always left on

charge.

• One full charge will grind approximately 125 grams of

peppercorns.

Use charger indoors only. Use charger only with A TOUCH

OF PEPPER® mill. All other uses may be hazardous.
