USB-C Rechargeable Salt & Pepper Grinder Manual

1. Charging Your Mill

Each Latent Epicure Salt & Pepper Mill is powered by a 500 mAh lithium-polymer battery with fast-charging capability.

For best performance, fully charge your mill before first use using the supplied USB-C cable. A complete charge takes approximately 60 minutes or less.

1.2 Battery Indicator Lights

The LED indicator on the top of the mill displays the current battery level:

• 4 lights = 100% (fully charged)
• 3 lights = approximately 75%
• 2 lights = approximately 50%
• 1 light = approximately 25%
• 1 light flashing = below 25%  (recharge soon)

2. Filling & Adjusting

2.1 Opening the Mill

Hold the transparent acrylic chamber in one hand and the stainless-steel body in the other. 

Rotate the stainless-steel body until the arrow aligns with the unlock icon, then gently pull the two sections apart.

2.2 Filling the Chamber

Fill the acrylic chamber with your choice of salt crystals or peppercorns.

To reassemble, align the arrow with the unlock symbol, push the two sections together, then rotate until the arrow aligns with the lock icon and you hear a click, confirming the mill is securely locked in place.

2.3 Adjusting Coarseness
Turn the black adjustment knob located on the underside of the mill.

Rotate clockwise for a finer grind and counter-clockwise for a coarser grind.

Note: The circular markings are directional guides only and do not represent fixed grind settings. Adjust the knob until your preferred grind size is reached.

2.4 Operating
Press the button on top to begin grinding.

Release the button to stop.

3. Troubleshooting Tips

If your mill is not operating as expected, check the following:

• 3.1 Ensure the acrylic chamber is properly locked to the main body using the lock and unlock markings.

• 3.2 The fine/coarse adjustment knob may be set too tightly, preventing the motor from turning. Loosen the adjuster slightly and try again.

• 3.3 The adjustment knob is connected to the drive shaft and may rotate while the motor is running. This is normal and does not affect the selected coarseness setting.

4. Cleaning & Maintenance

For optimum performance and long-term reliability, clean the drive shaft, the metal rod running through the centre of the acrylic chamber, every 2 to 3 refills.

4-Step Quick Clean

1. Empty the spice chamber, then unscrew and remove the black fine/coarse adjustment knob underneath.
2. Remove the ceramic grinding mechanism, ensuring the black plug remains inside, then remove the spring.
3. Turn the spice chamber upright and carefully pull the metal drive shaft upward through the black collar.
4. Wipe the drive shaft clean of any spice residue, then reassemble all parts in reverse order.

5. Caution

Important: Never immerse the mill, charging port, or any of its components in water or other liquids.
