D. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Assemble the Cuisinart Seasoning Mill as detailed in Section A.
• Ensure the unit is fully charged as detailed in Section B
• Hold the unit with the end that you wish to grind from facing downwards.
• 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.
To grind from the other end of the unit - simply flip the unit over.
E. CHARGING AND BATTERY LIFE
Your Cuisinart Seasoning Mill is equipped with NiMH batteries. We have selected
these batteries to give you maximum battery life and long running times.
Avoid wetting battery contacts. Before first use, the batteries must be charged
for 12 hours. If batteries should run down completely, it will take between 8
and 12 hours to fully recharge them. Normally, you won't run batteries down
completely, since the running time with a full charge is up to 20 minutes. It varies
depending on your usage, but most grinding tasks take around 5 seconds.
Continuous charging
The unit is designed so that the batteries may remain on continuous charge.
It is recommended that the Seasoning Mill charger be kept plugged into a
wall socket, so that the mill will always be ready to use. Leaving the unit on
continuous charge is inexpensive in terms of the amount of electricity being
used. Use only with the charger provided with the appliance. Do not attempt to
use this charger with any other product. Likewise, do not attempt to charge this
appliance with any other charger.
Holding the charge
The batteries hold most of their charge even when not plugged in and charging,
losing only about 30% of total charge per month.
Short run times
If, after repeated use, the run time seems to get shorter and the Seasoning
Mill has less power, remove the plug from the wall outlet and continue to use
mill until it is fully discharged and stops operating. Plug base back into wall
outlet and recharge the unit for 12 hours or overnight for a full new charge. This
procedure
improves battery capacity and should be repeated once every 2– 3 months to
ensure optimum performance.
